Manager of IT Systems, Clio

• Proven experience leading a team of systems, platform, or integration engineers in a technical people management role
• Hands-on background in IT systems engineering or development—you understand how integrations, automation pipelines, and SaaS administration actually work, and can set a credible technical bar for your team
• Familiarity with MDM platforms (FleetDM, Kandji, InTune) and endpoint management concepts
• Practical familiarity with the tooling your team will own: iPaaS platforms (Workato, Okta Workflows, or similar), Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform), cloud infrastructure (AWS), and CI/CD tooling (GitHub Actions, Buildkite)
• Experience administering and integrating core SaaS platforms such as Google Workspace, Okta, Slack, and others common in a modern enterprise environment
• Comfort working across API standards (REST, GraphQL) and authentication mechanisms—enough to guide technical design and review your team’s work meaningfully
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills: you know how to build trust with stakeholders outside IT, translate ambiguous problems into well-defined projects, and communicate progress clearly
• Experience with hiring, performance coaching, and developing engineers at different levels of seniority
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with operational discipline—you can set a roadmap and also ensure your team ships reliably
