The Content Manager – U.S. Case Law is the accountable owner of Clio’s U.S. case-law collection, one of the company’s most strategically critical assets. This role treats case law as a product and infrastructure layer—responsible for coverage parity, data quality, reliability, enrichment, and commercial impact.
You will define and execute the roadmap for U.S. federal and state case law, ensuring Clio achieves and sustains competitive parity with incumbent providers such as Westlaw and LexisNexis, while building a more modern, AI-ready legal data platform that powers Vincent AI and Clio Work.

3. Pipeline, Infrastructure & Technology Stewardship
Partner with Content Ops, Data Ops, and Engineering to operate and evolve the ingestion and enrichment stack (including migration to Iceberg pipelines).

4. Legal Data Enrichment & Innovation
Govern metadata and structural standards, including court identifiers, reporter series, parallel citations, and pagination mapping.
Oversee CERT, Clio’s proprietary citator, ensuring validation accuracy and historical treatment of “good law.”
Lead enrichment initiatives such as:
Key passages and semantic tagging of holdings
AI-generated summaries and headnotes
Topic normalization and statute linking
5. ROI & Performance Management
Partner with Finance to quantify ROI of new coverage and enrichment investments.
Maintain dashboards tracking cost-per-document, ingestion throughput, parity metrics, and enrichment penetration.
Present quarterly updates to the Content Committee on roadmap progress, risks, and financial impact.
6. Market Intelligence & Partnerships
Benchmark Clio’s coverage, editorial quality, and citator capabilities against Westlaw, LexisNexis, Bloomberg Law, and emerging competitors.
Source partnerships with courts, publishers, and open-data providers to improve upstream access.
Track advancements in AI and NLP applied to legal text normalization and summarization.

Experience with product ownership and cross-functional leadership across legal, technical, and commercial teams
