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.
We're hiring a Product Design Manager to lead Design Systems at Clio. The role is open to candidates across Canada (excluding Quebec) and the US. If you are located near one of our hubs (Burnaby, Calgary or Toronto), you'll be expected to be in the office at least twice a week on our Anchor Days.
Design is one of the three pillars of Clio's R&D organization, alongside Product and Engineering. Our designers work closely with customers to understand how they work, and push for high-quality experiences as we change how lawyers and their teams serve their clients and communities.
Design work at Clio isn't done only by designers anymore. Product managers, engineers and agents build UI too. Clio AI formulates answers, artifacts, and automations that support workflows and work outputs through plain language requests. Our teams actively prototype in Claude to optimize, iterate, and innovate. Each of these can only produce on-brand, accessible, consistent UI if the design system is written in a form both people and machines can read and interpret well.
As Product Design Manager, Design Systems, you'll lead the team that makes this happen. You'll steer the system's operating model: roadmap, intake, contribution, governance, versioning, and how we measure the system's health across channels. You'll also oversee the onboarding and product-led growth (PLG) patterns that let teams run growth and retention experiments independently.
This is a hands-on, player-coach leadership role. You'll be as comfortable reviewing token architecture and component APIs with Platform Engineering as you are discussing brand expression and copywriting with Brand Marketing. You'll lead the team, and you'll also do the work yourself when it matters most.
You'll report to the Platform Product Design Director, and manage a team of Design Systems and PLG designers.
This role is a backfill for an existing position.
Compensation is one of the main components of Clio’s Total Rewards Program. We have developed a series of programs and processes to ensure we are creating fair and competitive pay practices that form the foundation of our human and high-performing culture.
