About Dialpad
Dialpad is the AI platform for customer experience, built to resolve customer problems in real time across voice and digital. Our AI agents learn from your best human agents and improve with every interaction, helping organizations understand their customers, deliver better experiences, increase operational efficiencies, and build a lasting competitive advantage.
Unlike legacy systems built to route and answer, or standalone agentic bot vendors built to deflect, Dialpad was built to resolve. Our AI agents and human agents operate on a single platform with shared context, allowing Agentic AI to resolve issues, advance deals, and eliminate busywork through automation while seamlessly handing conversations to humans when needed, with full context preserved.
Market-leading brands, including Randstad, Motorola Solutions, Netflix, the San Diego Padres, the Colorado Rockies Baseball Club, and Cal Athletics, trust Dialpad. Dialpad is backed by Andreessen Horowitz, GV, ICONIQ Capital, and T-Mobile.
Being a Dialer
At Dialpad, AI isn’t just a feature; it’s how our teams do their best work every day. We put powerful AI tools in every employee’s hands so they can move faster, think bigger, and achieve more.
We believe every conversation matters. And we’ve built the platform that turns those conversations into insight and action, for our customers and ourselves.
We look for people who are intensely curious and hold themselves to a high bar. Our ambition is significant, and achieving it requires a team that operates at the highest level. We seek individuals who embody our core traits: Scrappy, Curious, Optimistic, Persistent, and Empathetic.
Your role
As a Sr. 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. You will bring seasoned judgment and independent decision-making to drive deals forward while protecting the company's interests in a fast-moving, global SaaS environment.
Beyond day-to-day deal work, you will play a key role in helping to shape the commercial legal function itself - building scalable playbooks, embedding AI-powered workflows, mentoring junior counsel, and helping define how the team operates at scale. 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.
This position reports to the Deputy General Counsel and has the opportunity to be based in our Austin Office.
