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 Go-To-Market (GTM) organization during a period of continued scale, maturity, and transformation.
