Role
Who you are
- This is an ideal role for a current or former lawyer or legal innovation/change management professional who thrives at the intersection of law, technology, and client engagement
- You will bring the authority and insight that come from your experience in practice to guide how leading firms and legal departments adopt AI in their most sophisticated work
- JD or equivalent legal qualification and at least 3 years of experience at a top-tier law firm (AmLaw 100 or equivalent) or in-house — preferably with corporate, litigation, or other high-complexity practice area focus
- Additional experience in legal operations, innovation, or change management in a law firm or corporate legal department is a strong plus
- Proven ability to engage, influence, and build trust with senior legal stakeholders
- Outstanding presentation and facilitation skills, with confidence addressing both legal and executive audiences
- Strong understanding of legal workflows, processes, and the cultural dynamics that influence technology adoption — particularly in elite law firms and leading corporate legal departments
- A consultative, solutions-focused mindset with a genuine curiosity about how AI can transform legal research, drafting, and analysis
- Experience in technology, consulting, sales, or other client-facing roles is a strong plus
- Comfort working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where priorities shift and creativity is valued
What the job involves
- We are currently seeking a Legal Architect to join our Sales team in New York City
- At Clio, we believe the future of legal is cloud-based, AI-powered, client-centered, and radically better for both lawyers and their clients. Our mission is to transform the legal experience for all — and we’re looking for a Legal Architect to help us get there
- This is a curated role for our most strategic customers, designed to help them extract maximum value from Clio’s solutions with a special focus on AI transformation in legal research and practice. We put our customers first, and your mission will be to help top-tier firms and in-house teams practice law more efficiently and effectively, leveraging advanced technology to elevate their legal work and outcomes
- You’ll apply your legal expertise, consultative mindset, and change management skills to secure the “practice win” — ensuring customers not only understand what Clio can do, but also experience meaningful, measurable improvements in the way they research, draft, analyze, and deliver legal work
- Engage with legal professionals at elite law firms and leading corporate legal departments to understand their processes, challenges, and opportunities for improvement — especially where AI can meaningfully transform their workflows
- Lead consultative discussions and tailored demonstrations of Clio’s AI-driven solutions, showing how they can improve specific legal workflows and deliver higher-quality legal outputs
- Partner with our Account Executives to deeply understand client needs, influence buying decisions, and guide firms through their AI adoption journey
- Work with Clio customers and prospects to design high-impact pilots of new technologies, ensuring successful engagement, adoption, and measurable outcomes in targeted practice areas and on specific types of legal tasks
- Define what a great pilot looks like: the outcomes our customers want to achieve, the practice areas to focus on, and the legal work that will demonstrate real, scalable value
- Act as a trusted advisor to senior partners, practice leads, and operations managers, building strong relationships and influencing adoption at all levels
- Help customers navigate the cultural, behavioral, and process changes needed for successful AI transformation — from initial pilot through full-scale rollout
- Collaborate with our marketing team to create content and messaging that resonates with legal audiences and showcases real-world AI success stories
- Serve as the Voice of the Customer, sharing insights with our product and sales teams to continuously improve our AI solutions and go-to-market strategies
- Stay curious and informed about AI trends, legal technology innovations, and best practices — and share your expertise both internally and externally
Our take
Modern law firms increasingly manage their work digitally but the lack of a specialized remote solution means that workflows have become fragmented. This leads to legal practice managers having to juggle multiple software solutions across various devices.
Clio provides a legal practice management platform designed for law firms, allowing users to manage billing for legal aid cases, access and manage documents and store files across multiple devices. Whilst other startups are operating in this niche, Clio has uniquely focussed on synchronisation across remote devices and on a wide range of integrations, allowing the user to access information from other industry standard software such as Xero and Klyant from within a single interface.
Clio has raised significant funding and benefited from the COVID-era shift toward cloud technologies. More recently, the company has experienced rapid growth following the integration of AI into its platform in 2023. Alongside this, it surpassed $200M in annual recurring revenue (ARR) in mid-2024 and has since grown to an impressive $500M ARR. The company was valued at $5B following a $500M funding round in 2025, with the investment supporting further AI development and platform expansion.
