This is a high-impact individual contributor role for someone who can operate at a strategic level while rolling up their sleeves to drive execution.

• Strategically identify areas for partnership and build a pipeline of high-value deals - negotiating and managing partnerships across third-party apps, GTM partners, content partners and strategic partners.

• Work closely with Product and Engineering to identify partnership opportunities and evaluate them against a build, buy, partner framework; solicit opportunities to and from partners to inform product development decisions.

• Work closely with Go-To-Market (GTM) teams, including Marketing and Channel, to bundle, solution, and sell partner solutions alongside Clio's first-party solutions, driving joint marketing and sales initiatives.

• Collaborate closely with Legal and Compliance to ensure Clio meets all legal and regulatory requirements across its partnerships and integrations.

• Collaborate with, inspire, and mentor a team of Business Development Managers, Partnership Managers, and other relevant roles to drive successful partnership outcomes.

• Develop and execute monetization strategies within the scope of partnerships and integrations, driving revenue growth and maximizing value for both Clio and its partners.

• Manage relationships with internal and external stakeholders - including partners, executives, and cross-functional teams - to ensure alignment and successful partnership outcomes.

• Take on additional responsibilities and initiatives as needed to support the growth and success of the business.

• 8+ years of experience as a strategic leader in partnerships or business development, with a track record of success in scaling and expanding businesses.

• Strong negotiation and complex deal-structuring skills, with a deep understanding of partnership dynamics in a SaaS environment.

• Demonstrated ability to develop and execute strategic growth plans and initiatives.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, capable of building relationships with internal and external stakeholders at all levels.

• A history of working in small, high-performing teams with outsized impact.

• The ability to think and operate at a strategic level, but drive execution at a tactical level - with the willingness to roll up your sleeves.

• A data-driven, highly analytical mindset, with the desire and ability to dig into metrics, derive insights, build defensible business cases for partnerships, and drive decisions.

• A high degree of comfort negotiating term sheets and partnership agreements in collaboration with legal teams.

• A strong understanding of the legal tech ecosystem.

• Experience in the legal industry or legal-tech industry.

• Experience at a top-tier strategy consulting firm.

• A qualified, prioritized pipeline of high-value partnership opportunities, sequenced against Clio's product and growth priorities.

• Signed, well-structured partnerships that deliver measurable revenue, lead volume, and strategic value for Clio and its partners.
