Clio is the global leader in legal AI technology, empowering legal professionals and law firms of every size to work smarter, faster, and more securely. We are transforming the legal experience for all by bettering the lives of legal professionals while increasing access to justice.

Summary: We’re seeking a Senior People Business Partner (PBP) to support Clio’s Technical Infrastructure organization, including Production Engineering, IT, Security and Data Engineering. This role sits at the intersection of business strategy, operational execution, and team performance during a period of continued scale, maturity, and transformation. As a Senior PBP, you will act as a trusted advisor, coach, and strategic consultant to Technical Infrastructure leaders. You will help leaders scale their teams, develop their teams, navigate change, and drive performance— all while ensuring a strong, inclusive, and compliant employee experience. This role is ideal for a senior People leader who is comfortable partnering with highly technical teams and who brings strong business acumen, organizational insight, and judgment to complex environments.

Who You Are

You are a senior-level People partner who understands how technical infrastructure organizations operate and intersect: how Production Engineering keeps Clio’s platform reliable, how IT and Security protect and enable the business, and how Data Engineering builds the data platforms that analytics and AI work depend on. You balance strategic thinking with pragmatic execution and bring confidence, clarity, and sound judgment to ambiguous situations. You are comfortable operating at the intersection of business strategy, organizational design, performance, and employee experience, and you build deep, trusted relationships with leaders at all levels.

What Your Team Does

The People Business Partner team at Clio is responsible for enabling leaders and teams to do their best work while ensuring Clio scales sustainably, equitably, and compliantly. PBPs partner closely with leaders, People Centers of Excellence (Talent, Total Rewards, L&D, People Ops), and cross-functional teams to deliver thoughtful, data-driven people solutions that align with Clio’s business strategy and values. Together, we help Clio build human and high-performing teams and exceptional leaders.

What You’ll Work On

Strategic Business Partnership

Partner closely with senior leaders to develop and deliver People strategies aligned to business objectives, growth plans, and organizational health. Act as a strategic thought partner on topics including org design, workforce planning, role clarity, capacity models, and team structure. Translate business strategy into people implications—anticipating risks, scaling challenges, and leadership needs. Coach leaders through complex decision-making with a strong lens on performance, culture, and employee experience.

Organizational Design, Performance & Talent Strategy

Lead and advise on organizational design efforts, including restructures, role evolution, spans and layers, and operating model changes. Partner with leaders on performance management, goal-setting, and accountability, ensuring strong linkage between strategy, execution, and outcomes. Support succession planning and talent reviews, identifying readiness, gaps, and development actions. Partner with Talent Management and L&D to support leadership development, manager capability, and team effectiveness.

Employee Relations, Risk & Compliance

Identify, assess, and manage complex employee relations issues quickly, thoughtfully, and decisively. Conduct and support investigations as required, partnering with Legal and People Operations to ensure fair, compliant, and consistent outcomes. Maintain deep knowledge of employment law requirements across jurisdictions relevant to your client group. Mitigate legal and employee risk through proactive coaching, documentation, and early intervention. Partner with Legal Counsel as needed to manage sensitive or high-risk situations.

People Programs & Cross-Functional Collaboration

Identify patterns early and proactively address risks related to retention, engagement, or leadership effectiveness.

Continuous Improvement & Scaling People Infrastructure

Identify opportunities to improve and evolve People processes to better support a scaling organization.
