Senior Manager, Employee Engagement

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 are currently seeking a Senior Manager, Employee Engagement to join our Employee Experience team in Vancouver or Toronto.

What your team does

The Employee Experience team is a global function at Clio dedicated to how Clions connect, celebrate, and belong — in person and across our distributed footprint. Our team spans Real Estate, Workplace Experience, Employee Voice, Employee Engagement, and Social Impact. We translate Clio’s mission, values, and operating principles into intentional programming that is measurable and tied to business outcomes.

Who you are

You’re a strategic operator who’s equally comfortable setting direction and rolling up your sleeves. You understand that great employee experiences don’t happen by accident — they’re designed, measured, and continuously improved. You thrive at the intersection of culture and execution: building the kind of moments and programs that make people feel like they belong, while being fluent in the business outcomes those programs drive.

You’ve led engagement, events, or culture programs in a distributed or global environment, and you know how to make them land consistently across time zones, offices, and entities. You’re a player-coach who can hold both the big picture and the details — and you’re ready to grow a team of program managers around you as the function scales.

You also bring genuine curiosity about AI and how it can make your work better. You don’t need to be a technologist, but you’re already experimenting — using AI tools to move faster, think more clearly, and free up space for the work that actually requires a human.

What you’ll work on

• Act as DRI for Team Day , Clio’s annual all-company conference — owning end-to-end planning, execution, and cross-functional committee leadership

• Design and deliver recurring connection programming including Summer Socials and seasonal moments throughout the year

• Lead wellness and wellbeing initiatives that support a healthy, high-performing culture

• Own the intentional-gathering strategy for Anchor Days under our Distributed by Design (DxD) model — the programming, purpose, and rhythms that build connection and collaboration worth showing up for

• Own the Remote Employee Experience : how distributed and remote Clions connect, belong, and thrive, including Remote Community Days

• Design and manage global recognition programs spanning peer recognition (Bonusly), milestones, anniversaries, and culture awards — ensuring they land consistently across all regions and entities

• Define success before you launch — name the metric for every program, then own outcomes in Peakon, participation data, and connection/belonging signals

• Lead and develop the Employee Engagement team (currently Mitch — Events & Experiences; Tasha — Recognition; Lorena — program coordination)

• Partner with Workplace Experience, the People Leadership Team, and senior stakeholders to integrate engagement best practices across the organization

What you may have

• Demonstrated experience designing and owning employee engagement, gathering, or culture programs — ideally in a distributed or global organization

• Experience as a player-coach: able to set strategy and stay hands-on in a lean team

• A measurement mindset — able to tie people programs to business outcomes and communicate impact to senior leaders

• Strong cross-functional instincts and judgment navigating ambiguity and competing stakeholder priorities

• Experience managing a team of program managers

• Genuine AI fluency — you actively use AI tools in your day-to-day work and can help your team do the same

Serious bonus points if you have

• Experience owning a large-scale all-company event (1,000+ employees)

• Familiarity with Peakon, Bonusly, or similar engagement/recognition platforms

• Experience building programming that scales across multiple offices, time zones, or post-acquisition entities

• Background in both in-person and remote/distributed employee experience

This role is a backfill for an existing position.
