Summary:

We’re seeking a Senior Manager of Product Design to lead our Service Delivery team, responsible for the tools and workflows that help legal professionals plan, manage, and execute high-quality legal work. This includes experiences like calendaring, task orchestration, case management workflows, and collaboration within Clio Manage, our flagship product.

You’ll play a critical leadership role in Clio’s growing Product Design & Research organization. As a strategic design leader, you’ll combine strategic oversight with design craft, setting direction while remaining close to the work. You’ll shape the design vision, nurture a high-performing design team, and partner closely with Product and Engineering to deliver meaningful, human-centered experiences at scale.

What you’ll work on:

• Lead the vision and strategy for Service Delivery UX, partnering with Product and Engineering to translate business goals, user insights, and data into actionable design strategies.
• Manage and mentor a talented group of product designers, fostering a culture of curiosity, autonomy, collaboration, and continuous growth.
• Champion user-centered design by embedding user research and data-driven practices into the product development process.
• Establish and evolve design standards to ensure quality, consistency, and scalability across Service Delivery features.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Research, Data Science, Marketing, and Customer Success to deliver cohesive, valuable experiences.
• Influence product direction through clear communication of design rationale, insights, and tradeoffs with stakeholders at all levels.
• Plan and allocate resources effectively, ensuring the team is equipped to meet delivery goals and drive long-term strategic impact.
• Contribute to Clio’s design system, helping ensure platform-wide consistency and efficiency.
• Hire and develop exceptional talent, conducting performance reviews, delivering feedback, and supporting each team member’s growth and success.

What you bring:

• 10+ years of product design experience, including SaaS or complex platform environments.
• 5+ years of experience leading and managing product design teams.
• A proven track record of shipping high-quality, user-centered products at scale.
• Deep expertise in user research, interaction design, and systems thinking.
• Demonstrated ability to connect design strategy to business and customer outcomes.
• Experience leading complex cross-functional initiatives with agility and influence.
• A coaching mindset—able to build trust, grow talent, and lead through ambiguity.
• Proficiency with modern design and collaboration tools (Figma, Miro, etc.).
• Strong understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG) and inclusive design principles.
• Experience working in fast-paced, iterative product development environments.

Nice to have:

• Experience designing for enterprise or regulated industries (e.g., legal, healthcare, finance).
• Familiarity with AI-assisted workflows, automation, or personalization in product design.
• Experience contributing to or evolving platform-level systems and multi-product environments.
• If you’re excited about transforming how lawyers deliver legal services, and want to lead a team designing intelligent, intuitive, and impactful experiences, we’d love to hear from you.
