Manager, CorpSec

Location: Toronto

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 Manager, Corp Sec to join our growing Engineering Team. This role is available to candidates across Canada, excluding Quebec. If you are local to one of our hubs (Burnaby, Calgary, or Toronto) you will be expected to be in office minimum two days per week for our Anchor Days.

What your Team Does:

At Clio, we strive to be both human and high performing. For our Manager, Corp Sec, this means transforming our security systems into a mission-driven function that unifies IT Systems, Application Security, and Compliance. You will lead a team dedicated to owning our cybersecurity posture-protecting Clio from internal and external threats while building upon the deep trust we've established within the organization.

This is a "player-coach" role where you will be both a builder and an operator, driving a principled approach to security that is deeply integrated into Clio's culture.

What a day in the life might look like:

* Building & Running:
Deploying, configuring, and tuning our Data Loss Prevention (DLP) capabilities and owning the operational management of EDR.

* Leading from the Front:
Remaining hands-on with the tools that matter-from phishing simulations to AI detection-while developing the response procedures that keep us safe.

* Architecting Response:
Building and maintaining internal incident response playbooks for insider threats, compromised devices, and accidental data leaks.

* Innovating with AI:
Partnering with SMEs to evaluate and deploy AI security tooling, ensuring we move data safely and mitigate emerging risks.

* Mentoring & Growing:
Directly supervising and coaching your team, supporting their professional development, and fostering a culture of feedback and transparency.

* Cross-Functional Partnership:
Working closely with Privacy, Compliance, and IT teams to ensure technical controls align with global standards like SOC 2, ISO, and HIPAA.

* Closing the Loop:
Designing employee education workflows and onboarding programs so every "Clion" understands their role in our security posture.

What you may have:

* Proven Leadership:
Experience leading, managing, or mentoring security teams within a fast-paced environment.

* Deep Technical Foundation: 6-8 years of hands-on Info Sec experience, specifically with endpoint security, email security, and security operations.

* Tooling Proficiency:
Direct experience operating at least two of: EDR, DLP, Phishing, SIEM, SSO Providers, or Google Workspace security controls.

* Autonomous Drive:
The ability to operate independently-you are comfortable starting as a primary practitioner and don't need a pre-built playbook to get to work.

* Communication

Skills:

The ability to explain complex security risks and decisions to non-technical stakeholders with clarity and empathy.

* Principled Approach:
You understand the natural tension between security visibility and employee trust, and you navigate it thoughtfully.

* Growth Mindset: A healthy curiosity to fix the "why" behind a problem rather than just the symptom, especially when it comes to new technologies like AI.

Serious bonus points if you have:

* Experience assessing AI-related risks or augmenting AI into security processes.

* Prior exposure to enterprise frameworks like NIST, ISO 27001, or FedRAMP.

* Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or CompTIA Security+.

* Experience with MDM systems and advanced incident management workflows.

This is a new role.
