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.
Summary:
We're hiring our first Legal Architect for Enterprise in APAC, to help establish and scale our Enterprise offering across the region. This is a rare opportunity to step into a foundational role where you'll shape how leading APAC firms and in-house legal teams adopt AI in their most sophisticated legal work.
What your team does:
Clio for Enterprise gives major legal organisations technology built for a rapidly changing industry. It raises performance across complex matters and gives leaders a clear path to a technology foundation suited to the next era of legal service delivery.
Who you are:
At Clio, we believe the future of legal is cloud-based, AI-powered, client-centred, and radically better for both lawyers and their clients. Our mission is to transform the legal experience for all, and we're looking for a Legal Architect to help us get there.
This is a curated role for our most strategic customers, designed to help them extract maximum value from Clio's solutions with a particular focus on AI transformation in legal research and practice. We put our customers first, and your mission will be to help top-tier firms and in-house teams practise law more efficiently and effectively, using advanced technology to elevate their legal work and outcomes.
This is an ideal role for a former lawyer who thrives at the intersection of law, technology, and client engagement. You'll bring the authority and insight that come from your time in practice to guide how leading firms and legal departments adopt AI in their most complex work.
You'll apply your legal expertise, consultative mindset, and change management skills to secure the "practice win". To ensure customers not only understand what Clio can do, but experience meaningful, measurable improvements in how they research, draft, analyse, and deliver legal work.
As our first Legal Architect in the region, you'll also help define how this function works in APAC, building the playbook rather than inheriting one.
What you'll work on:
Engage with legal professionals in your region's leading law firms and corporate legal departments to understand their processes, challenges, and opportunities for improvement, especially where AI can meaningfully transform their workflows
Lead consultative discussions and tailored demonstrations of Clio's AI-driven solutions, showing how they improve specific legal workflows and deliver higher-quality legal outputs.
Partner with our Account Executives to deeply understand client needs, influence buying decisions, and guide firms through their AI adoption journey
Work with Clio customers and prospects to design high-impact pilots of new technologies, ensuring successful engagement, adoption, and measurable outcomes in targeted practice areas and on specific types of legal work
Define what a great pilot looks like: the outcomes our customers want to achieve, the practice areas to focus on, and the legal work that will demonstrate real, scalable value.
Act as a trusted adviser to partners, practice group leaders, and legal operations managers, building strong relationships and influencing adoption at every level
Help customers navigate the cultural, behavioural, and process changes that successful AI transformation requires, from initial pilot through to full rollout
Collaborate with our marketing team to create content and messaging that resonates with legal audiences and showcases real-world AI success stories
Serve as the Voice of the Customer, sharing regional insight with our product and sales teams to continuously improve our AI solutions and go-to-market approach
Represent Clio in the Australian and APAC legal innovation community and at conferences, industry events, and in professional networks
Stay curious and informed about AI trends, legal technology, and emerging best practice, and share what you learn both internally and externally
What you may bring:
Admitted to practise in an Australian jurisdiction, with 3+ years post-admission experience (PQE) at a top-tier firm or in a strong in-house legal team
Proven ability to engage, influence, and build trust with senior legal stakeholders
Outstanding presentation and facilitation skills, with confidence in front of both legal and executive audiences
A strong understanding of legal workflows, processes, and the cultural dynamics that shape technology adoption, particularly in top-tier firms and large in-house teams
A consultative, solutions-focused mindset and genuine curiosity about how AI can transform legal research, drafting, and analysis
Experience in technology, consulting, sales, or another client-facing role is a strong plus
Comfort working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where priorities shift and creativity is valued
Serious bonus points if you have:
Experience in an AI or legal innovation initiative
Experience on secondment to a client, or in a business development or pitch-facing role
Spoken at conferences, presented CPD, or published on AI and technology in legal practice
Involvement in the Australian legal innovation community, such as ALTA, the Law Society of NSW FLIP stream, or the Centre for Legal Innovation
