Job description

Описание:

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. As the Senior Product Manager for Italy Market Expansion at Clio, you will lead the vision, strategy, and roadmap execution of solutions that help Clio successfully expand into the Italian market. You will own the end to end product portfolio and customer experience for Italy, balancing global scale with local nuance.

Задачи:

You own Clio's product portfolio and customer experience in Italy end to end, from first touch through onboarding, daily practice management, billing, and support. Where a gap sits in a product another team owns, you own getting it closed. You are accountable for the quality of Clio's customer experience in Italy as a whole, rather than for a single feature area. You maintain a single, current view of what breaks today, what is missing, and what we have committed for Italy, and you make that view legible to leadership before leadership asks for it. Working from the overarching strategy set by your Senior Director, Product Management, you will develop a roadmap in conjunction with your peers that moves our business forward, and evangelize it throughout the company. You will own the delivery of features in the roadmap while also ensuring they deliver on the desired business outcome. Drive product readiness for the Italian market, including localization, multi-lingual support, regulatory requirements, and market-specific workflows. You set a clear vision for what Clio looks like in Italy, then ship toward it in weeks rather than quarters. We expect a first customer-visible change within your first 90 days. You will make decisions with imperfect information, put something in front of customers, and correct from what you learn. You parallelize. When a workstream can run alongside another, you run it alongside, and you say what serializing would cost in weeks when you choose to serialize. You understand how lawyers in Italy actually work: how Italian civil law shapes a firm's structure, how matters progress through the local courts, how the profession sets and regulates fees, what the Consiglio Nazionale Forense and the local Ordini require of a practitioner, and where local practice diverges from common law practice. You track the regulatory surface that touches our product, including Italian electronic invoicing through SdI, split payment VAT, and Consiglio Nazionale Forense professional rules, and you translate it into requirements our central teams can build against. You build and maintain direct relationships with practitioners, bar associations, and local partners, and you serve as the company's source of truth on what the Italian legal profession needs. You can read and reason about how we built our platform: where our data models carry a country assumption, how the model represents currency, tax, payments, and locale, and what a change to one of those costs downstream. You can hold a design discussion with engineering about cardinality, extensibility, and migration, and leave with a shared decision. You can tell a problem that needs a local configuration from a problem that needs a platform capability, and you argue for the platform capability when it is the right answer. You work AI-first by default. You use AI for customer research synthesis, competitive and regulatory analysis, requirements drafting, data querying, and prototyping, and you can show how it changed your throughput. You build your own working systems. You are comfortable writing prompts, chaining tools, and standing up a lightweight agent or script to remove repetitive work from your week. You bring judgment to it. You know which AI output needs verification against a primary source, particularly on regulatory and legal questions, and you verify it. You will build the business case in the currency that team's leadership measures it on, name the tradeoff you are asking them to make, and find the version of the ask that serves their goal alongside yours. You bring escalation on a stated trigger rather than on frustration. When merit alone does not win the ask, you bring your Senior Director a clear recommendation and the cost of inaction. Partner closely with cross-functional leaders across Product, Engineering, Design, Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, Legal, and Operations to support the Italian market launch and growth. Manage stakeholder relationships across a matrixed organization with clarity and diplomacy.

Требования:

• Fluency in Italian and in English. Clio operates in English, so English fluency is a requirement of the role rather than a preference.

• Technical fluency sufficient to reason about system design, data models, and platform tradeoffs with engineering
• A demonstrated AI-native working style, with specific examples of how you use AI in your product practice
• Evidence of winning roadmap commitments from teams that do not report to you and that carry no accountability for your outcome
• Exceptional attention to detail, so that no requirement or specification slips through the product development cycle
• Outstanding organizational skills, capable of managing multiple priorities simultaneously without compromising quality or timelines
• Experience using data to inform decisions without succumbing to analysis paralysis
• Genuine ability to put yourself in our customers' shoes and operate from a place of empathy
• Experience working across time zones and cultures, with a customer-first approach
• An entrepreneurial mindset with comfort operating in ambiguity
• At least 2 or 3 failures under your belt, the learnings of which you can bring to Clio
