Senior Product Designer, Accounting
About The Position
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 are seeking a Senior Product Designer to join our growing Product Design team. This role is available to candidates across Canada (excluding Quebec) and the US. If you are located near one of our hubs (Burnaby, Calgary, or Toronto), you will be expected to work in the office a minimum of twice per week on our designated Anchor Days. Design plays a pivotal role at Clio, standing alongside Product and Engineering as one of the three pillars of our Research and Development organization. Our product designers work directly with customers to understand their behaviors, needs, and workflows. They champion thoughtful, high-quality experiences as we transform how lawyers and their teams serve their clients. If you’re focused on shipping value to customers with an opportunity to revolutionize an industry, you’ve found your next team. The Clio Accounting team is on a mission to automate and tailor the accounting experience to every customer: taking firms from weeks of setup to fully operational and automated on day one. As a Senior Product Designer, you'll define and execute the experience strategy for core Accounting workflows, transaction import, review and matching, and transaction creation and settlement. This high-stakes area spans financial configuration and day-to-day accounting operations; experiences that directly shape whether customers manage their bookkeeping efficiently and accurately. The role sits at the intersection of complex domain logic, structured data, and habit-forming onboarding design. You'll partner with Product and Engineering to evolve these experiences for solo lawyers to mid-market and enterprise customers, leading end-to-end design from discovery through launch and iteration. Ideal candidates ground decisions in deep customer understanding, translate accounting complexity into clear and intuitive experiences, and drive outcomes from day one.
