Summary:ABOUT THE ROLE:

As the VP, People Business Partners & Talent Development, your role is to ensure our human and high performing culture is embedded in everything we do, throughout the duration of the end-to-end employee experience. Operationalizing our culture and continually strengthening it. In this role, you'll oversee two of our critical functions: the People Business Partner (PBP) team and the Learning & Development (L&D) team.

In this role, you are the architect of our talent density strategy. You will ensure that every department at Clio has the strategic talent partnership it needs to scale, and every "Clion" has the world-class learning ecosystem required to do the best work of their lives. You will report directly to the Chief People Officer and serve as a key advisor to our executive leadership team.

Who You Are:

• The Strategic Architect: You don't just solve today's problems; you build systems that work for 2,000+ Clions globally. You think in terms of organizational design and long-term talent health.

• A High-Stakes Coach: You are comfortable sitting across from C-suite executives, communicating with "radical candor" with deep empathy, and helping them navigate complex organizational shifts.

• A Lifelong Learner: You are obsessed with how humans grow. You understand that L&D is our competitive advantage that must be woven into the fabric of the daily workflow.

• Data-Informed, Human-First: You use people analytics to find the "why" behind retention and performance trends, but you never lose sight of the individual human experience.

• The Culture Guardian: you live and breathe Clio's values. You lead by example and ensure our "Human-First" philosophy remains operationalized as we scale globally.

What Your Team Does:

• Your organization is the heartbeat of the Clio employee experience.

• The PBP Team: Acts as the strategic engine for our business units. They partner with leaders on workforce planning, org design, and high-level talent strategy to ensure our teams are optimized for growth. The PBP team partners across the different disciplines across the People team to inform the employee experience and ensure all of our programs reflect Clio's Human and High Performing culture.

• The L&D Team: Designs and delivers the Clio learning experience. They own everything from world-class onboarding and leadership development to technical upskilling, ensuring that "growing at Clio" is a tangible reality for every employee.

What You'll Work On:

• Integrating Talent & Growth: You will unify the PBP and L&D functions so that performance gaps identified by PBPs are solved by targeted, agile learning interventions from the L&D team.

• Executive Succession & Org Design: You'll lead the strategy for how we identify, develop, and transition our top leadership talent to meet the needs of a multi-product, global SaaS company.

• The Future of Learning: and Talent Development: You will oversee the transition to an AI-augmented learning environment, personalizing growth paths for Clions at scale.

• High-Performance: You'll refine our performance management philosophy, moving us toward a model of continuous feedback and transparent career mobility.

• Global Scaling: As we expand, you will ensure our people strategy remains cohesive across different time zones, cultures, and legal jurisdictions.

What You Bring:

• 10+ years of People Leadership: Significant experience leading high-growth People teams, with a deep background in both the Business Partner and Learning/Talent Development worlds.

• SaaS Savvy: You understand the metrics of a successful software business (ARR, Churn, LTV) and how talent strategy directly impacts those levers.

• Change Management Mastery: A proven track record of leading large-scale organizational shifts, including M&A integrations or major department re-orgs.

• Executive Presence: The ability to influence, challenge, and support a high-velocity executive team.

• A Product Mindset: Experience building internal people programs with the same rigor and iteration as a customer-facing software product.

• Bias for action and fostering high performing teams.
