Description
As a Senior Commercial Counsel, you will serve as a key legal advisor and deal architect for Dialpad's most complex and high-value commercial transactions.
You will handle end-to-end negotiation of strategic agreements, provide authoritative guidance on legal risk, and act as a trusted partner to senior business stakeholders across Sales, Finance, Privacy, Security, and Customer Success.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Contract Management & Negotiation: Handle end-to-end negotiation of Dialpad's most significant and complex commercial agreements, including enterprise SaaS agreements, strategic partnership arrangements, reseller and channel agreements, services agreements, and vendor contracts.
- Cross-Functional Partnership: Act as a strategic advisor to senior business stakeholders, influencing deal structure and go-to-market strategy from the earliest stages of customer engagement.
- Legal Operations & Scalability: Develop and continuously refine the commercial legal playbook, including pre-approved fallback positions, escalation protocols, and guidance on non-standard terms.
You will bring an `AI-first` mindset to this work, translating legal expertise into repeatable, technology-enabled systems that improve speed, consistency, and risk management across the organization.
The ideal candidate will have 8-15 years of experience as a commercial attorney, with substantial in-house experience at a technology or SaaS company.
In return, Dialpad offers a competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and real opportunities for growth.
