Responsibilities Define and execute the multi-year global support strategy, including the operating model, service architecture, geographic footprint, and AI roadmap Own the P&L for global support,

build-versus-buy decisions and vendor relationships Deploy intelligent AI voice and chat agents capable of handling complex, multi-product workflows for legal professionals, and set the governance for escalation logic, confidence thresholds, knowledge curation, and human-in-the-loop design Build AI-assisted agent tooling — agent assist, real-time suggestions, auto-summaries — that measurably improves time to resolution and first-contact resolution Establish the accuracy, compliance, and quality standards that AI-delivered support must meet in a high-trust, regulated vertical, and own accountability for them Own support's contribution to retention and expansion, including the identification and conversion of Customer Success Qualified Leads (CSQLs) at every touchpoint Build PLG-integrated support motions — in-product nudges, proactive outreach triggers, self-service optimization — that reduce friction at critical conversion and adoption moments Partner with Revenue, Marketing, and Post Sales to make support a measurable input to net revenue retention, not an adjacent function Own the end-to-end support lifecycle for Clio's core practice management platform and for Clio Work (Legal AI drafting, research, and intelligence) Build differentiated support models tuned to each product's complexity, customer segment, and AI-sensitivity — recognizing that Clio Work

live chat, email, AI chat, async messaging) with consistent service levels across all Partner with Product, Engineering, and R&D to build a rigorous product feedback loop powered by support signal —

performance to be understood and trusted company-wide Serve as the executive face of Clio's support organization externally, representing Clio at industry events and thought leadership forums Build Clio's reputation as the reference case for what AI-first support looks like in a high-trust vertical Skills You are a seasoned support or CX executive who has built and scaled global service organizations in high-growth B2B SaaS — and who has genuinely operationalized AI, not just piloted it You've led leaders across multiple geographies, owned a substantial budget with real ROI accountability, and navigated the tension between service quality, cost to serve, and growth without treating any of the three as negotiable You think in systems and see the whole board, not just the next move You are energized by ambiguity and by building things that don't yet exist You have informed opinions about where AI support technology is heading and you follow the space closely You can translate complex AI and operational concepts credibly for a board audience and for a frontline agent in the same day, and you create environments where high performers thrive and everyone has a clear path to growth 12+ years in customer support, service, or CX leadership, including 5+ years managing managers in high-growth B2B SaaS environments Proven experience leading global support or CX organizations of 150+ people across multiple geographies, with full budget or P&L ownership A demonstrated track record deploying AI support technologies at scale — you have actually done this and

enterprise rollout Deep understanding of AI agent architecture escalation logic, confidence thresholds, knowledge base curation, and human-in-the-loop workflow design Strong command of support

in legal tech, professional services SaaS, or another high-trust, regulated vertical where content accuracy and compliance carry real stakes A track record of building feedback loops between support signal and product roadmap — influencing priorities, not just reporting issues Exceptional executive presence and communication, with the ability to influence at every level and present to the C-suite and board A "Draw the Owl" mindset — comfort with ambiguity, a bias toward action, and the drive to build the structures, processes, and playbooks where the path isn't yet defined Genuine passion for transforming legal work through AI, and a clear point of view on how service will evolve over the next decade Benefits Competitive, equitable salary with top-tier health benefits, dental, and vision
