Job description
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.
This is a rare opportunity to lead world-class Customer Success across Clio's international markets — one of the fastest-growing legal SaaS platforms in the world. You'll own the end-to-end CS experience across Clio's core practice management platform and Clio Work, our intelligent Legal AI assistant — with a mandate to build a team where every Clion is focused on complex, high-value customer relationships, while AI-powered workflows and scaled motions handle everything else.
You won't just be managing renewals and health scores. You'll be building AI-powered success plays, driving multi-region operations across markets with distinct regulatory and cultural contexts, and scaling your team's ability to identify and convert Customer Success Qualified Leads at every touchpoint — continuing to grow international markets as a core revenue engine for Clio.
Own the International CS strategy and operating model — spanning CSMs, Account Management, Renewals, and Digital Success and as well as partnership with Onboarding & Customer Support — with a mandate to grow NRR, expand into new markets, and increase team maturity to meet Clio's rapid growth trajectory
Scale from 25+ to a regionally distributed, high-performing organization that serves customers across EMEA and beyond — building the right team structure, coverage model, and career pathways for each growth stage
Drive Clio Work adoption across international markets, building the AI-era playbook for customer success in legal tech — creating differentiated success models tuned to each product's complexity and customer segment with power of AI
Drive Clio’s growth expanding NRR leveraging every touchpoint across the international book — with CS as a core revenue engine, not a cost center
Serve as the escalation executive for critical customer and product incidents, representing the voice of the customer internally at the highest level
Partner closely with the Global CS leadership team and cross-functional stakeholders — Sales, R&D, Marketing, Revenue Operations, and Data Intelligence — to drive global GTM strategy, customer-informed product input, and a seamless globally consistent experience
Lead the international CS Monthly Business Review (MBR) and OKR process for Customer Success. Maintain clear performance visibility to senior stakeholders; represent international CS in global operating rhythms: strategic planning, talent planning, forecasting, and budgeting
Lead, develop, and inspire a 25+ person team, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, operational excellence, and a customer-obsessed mindset
Be an engaged member of the International Leadership Team, serving as both culture driver and creator across regions
Recruit top-tier talent with a lens on AI-native and AI-fluent CS professionals who are excited about redefining their roles alongside technology
Exemplify Clio values and foster a high-performance, inclusive culture across a multi-national team
Design and own the strategy to evolve international CS into an AI-first model — elevating Clions to focus on complex, high-value interactions while AI-powered tooling handles scaled coverage; partner with RevOps to build the systems, workflows, and data infrastructure that make this real
Build and mature three distinct CS motions: high-touch CSM for key accounts, Scaled CS for SMB, and Digital CS for all segments — leveraging AI (auto-summaries, churn prediction, sentiment signals, AI-assisted QBRs) to power each
Drive PLG-integrated success motions that reduce friction at critical conversion and adoption moments; turn CS signal into roadmap input by building a robust customer feedback loop with Product and Engineering
Set and own critical CS KPIs: NRR, GRR, expansion revenue, CSAT, and AI-driven efficiency metrics
Lead forecasting, budgeting, and workforce planning across traditional and AI-augmented workflows — enabling intelligent staffing decisions across growing markets
Build and scale CS systems architecture across Claude, Salesforce, ChurnZero/Gainsight, Knowledge Base, and AI CS tooling
Manage budget with a clear ROI mindset, building the business case for team investments and AI tooling
8+ years in Customer Success, with at least 4+ years in senior people management roles in high-growth B2B SaaS environments
Demonstrated track record building and scaling international or global CS organizations of 20+ across multiple functions and geographies
Direct ownership of key CS metrics: NRR, GRR, expansion revenue, CSAT, and time-to-value
Experience building and executing multiple CS motions simultaneously (high-touch, scaled, and digital/tech-touch)
Strong command of CS operations metrics with a bias toward outcome-driven, AI-augmented efficiency
Experience supporting complex, multi-product SaaS environments with distinct customer personas and technical depth requirements
AI fluency in practice — you actively use Claude, Copilot, Gemini, or other enterprise AI tools in your daily work, can evaluate AI tooling for CS workflows, and are energized by building AI-first operating models (not just talking about them)
Experience in legal tech, professional services SaaS, or other high-trust, regulated verticals where content accuracy and compliance carry real stakes
Hands-on experience deploying AI in CS workflows — auto-summaries, churn prediction, AI-assisted QBRs, digital success plays
Track record building feedback loops between CS signal and product roadmap — not just reporting issues, but influencing roadmap priorities
Experience navigating multi-national operations across varying regulatory, cultural, and market environments
Background in hypergrowth environments where the business doubles while headcount grows far more slowly
Experience with PLG (Product-Led Growth) success models, including in-product nudges, proactive outreach triggers, and self-service optimization
An operator who thinks in systems — you see the whole board, not just the next move
Energized by ambiguity and building new things, not just optimizing existing ones
Genuinely excited about AI — you actively use enterprise AI tools in daily work and want to be on the frontier
A communicator who can translate complex operational and AI concepts for executive audiences and frontline teams alike
A genuine global collaborator, not a siloed regional operator — you build bridges across geographies and time zones
A culture carrier who creates environments where high performers thrive and everyone has a clear path to growth
You'll be expected to evaluate, select, and drive adoption of tools across these categories:
AI Enterprise Platform: Claude (primary), with fluency across AI-native CS tooling
CRM: Salesforce (pipeline management, account health, CS reporting)
Communication & Productivity: Slack, Google Workspace
Knowledge Management & Support: Zendesk and equivalents
