What the job involves

- The "Practice Area" team focuses on delivering and enhancing products that meet the specific needs of different legal practices
- With a current emphasis on personal injury and legal aid firms initially, the team will also explore and expand into other areas, adapting Clio’s solutions and product suite to fit the unique needs of specialized legal firms and teams
- Develop and champion a compelling product vision and strategy for Clio’s "Practice Area" products, ensuring alignment with Clio’s overall business goals and market demands

- Provide strategic leadership including direct management as well as acting PM responsibilities for critical product investments
- Empower teams through regular feedback and clear strategy, while maintaining a hands-on approach to manage the product execution for one of the teams directly. This dual focus requires that you not only guide your teams towards achieving their goals, but also stay deeply involved in the product development process
- Oversee the product lifecycle from conceptualization to launch, focusing on creating high-value features and enhancements that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of legal practices
- Implement agile methodologies and foster a culture of continuous improvement and rapid iteration within your team
- Work closely with customers and internal stakeholders to gather insights, feedback, and requirements that drive product improvements and innovations
- Build and maintain strong relationships across functional teams to ensure alignment and collaborative effort in product development
- Keep abreast of industry trends and competitive dynamics specific to the legal practice areas, using insights to inform product strategy and positioning
Our take
Modern law firms increasingly manage their work digitally but the lack of a specialised 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 a large amount of investment capital, most recently in a 2021 Series E round which saw the company attain unicorn status with a valuation exceeding $1 billion. This funding is being used to accelerate its product development, hire additional talent, and for expansion into new markets with a focus on the EMEA region, particularly the UK and Ireland.
