We are transforming the legal experience for all by bettering the lives of legal professionals while increasing access to justice. As the VP, People Business Partners & Talent Development, your role is to ensure our human and high performing culture is embedded in everything we do, throughout the duration of the end-to-end employee experience.
In this role, you’ll oversee two of our critical functions: the People Business Partner (PBP) team and the Learning & Development (L&D;) team. You will report directly to the Chief People Officer and serve as a key advisor to our executive leadership team. You think in terms of organizational design and long-term talent health.
A High-Stakes Coach: You are comfortable sitting across from C-suite executives, communicating with "radical candor" with deep empathy, and helping them navigate complex organizational shifts. You understand that L&D; is our competitive advantage that must be woven into the fabric of the daily workflow. Data-Informed, Human-First: You use people analytics to find the "why" behind retention and performance trends, but you never lose sight of the individual human experience.
The PBP Team: Acts as the strategic engine for our business units. They partner with leaders on workforce planning, org design, and high-level talent strategy to ensure our teams are optimized for growth.
The L&D; Team: Designs and delivers the Clio learning experience. They own everything from world-class onboarding and leadership development to technical upskilling,
ensuring that "growing at Clio" is a tangible reality for every employee.
Integrating Talent & Growth: You will unify the PBP and L&D; functions so that performance gaps identified by PBPs are solved by targeted, agile learning interventions from the L&D; team.
Executive Succession & Org Design: You’ll lead the strategy for how we identify, develop, and transition our top leadership talent to meet the needs of a multi-product, global SaaS company.
The Future of Learning: and Talent Development: You will oversee the transition to an AI-augmented learning workplace, personalizing growth paths for Clions at scale. High-Performance: You’ll refine our performance management philosophy, moving us toward a model of continuous feedback and transparent career mobility. As we expand, you will ensure our people strategy remains cohesive across different time zones, cultures, and legal jurisdictions. 10+ years of People Leadership: Significant experience leading high-growth People teams, with a deep background in both the Business Partner and Learning/Talent Development worlds.
SaaS Savvy: You understand the metrics of a successful software business (ARR, Churn, LTV) and how talent strategy directly impacts those levers.
Change Management Mastery: A proven track record of leading large-scale organizational shifts,
including M&A; integrations or major department re-orgs.
