Senior Counsel

Senior Counsel

Our client is a fast-growing, Y Combinator-backed voice AI company whose platform runs real-time AI voice agents for large enterprises in healthcare, travel, technology and retail.

We're hiring our first Senior Counsel to build the company's legal function from the ground up. You'll report directly to the founder and be Sales' go-to partner on every enterprise deal.

• Set the company's position on voice AI legal issues: call recording consent, TCPA, AI disclosure, and customer use-case reviews
• Own platform terms, acceptable use policy, privacy policy, and outside counsel spend

Must have:

• JD and active US bar membership in California State
• 6+ years of commercial or technology transactions experience OR 4+ years in a tech transactions group at a top law firm
