Full job description
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 Senior Counsel, Product, Privacy, and Regulatory, you'll own the legal strategy where product innovation, data privacy, and regulatory compliance intersect. You'll work closely with Product, Engineering, Security, Telephony, Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success to embed legal judgment directly into how Dialpad's AI-powered products are designed, launched, and scaled globally. You'll also help build the frameworks, playbooks, and guardrails that position Dialpad as a trustworthy, enterprise-ready AI platform. You are not a compliance gatekeeper - you are a builder.
This position reports to our Deputy General Counsel and has the opportunity to be based in our San Ramon, CA office. You will join a collaborative legal team alongside dedicated product and privacy legal resources, supported by a strong network of outside counsel and cross-functional partners. This is a high-visibility role with direct exposure to Dialpad's executive team and enterprise customer base.
What you’ll do
AI governance & product counseling - Advise Product and Engineering on privacy-by-design, AI governance, and regulatory risk across the full product lifecycle. Support the development of legal frameworks covering AI training data, LLM data use, model governance, and compliance with the EU AI Act, US state AI laws, and FTC guidance.
Global privacy & data protection - Support Dialpad’s global privacy compliance program (GDPR/UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, HIPAA, and beyond) in partnership with dedicated legal team members. Help manage the data subject access request program, maintain DPIAs and RoPAs, and serve as on-call counsel for data incidents, including breach response and required notifications.
Telecom & regulatory compliance - Advise on federal and state telecom regulations (FCC, TCPA, 911, USF), track international developments, and handle CALEA readiness, law enforcement requests, and sectoral compliance across regulated verticals.
Security partnerships & certifications - Partner with Security and GRC teams on certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI, HIPAA) and help design privacy-enhancing controls including automated redaction, anonymization, and access governance.
Commercial & marketing enablement - Handle DPA and BAA negotiations, support complex enterprise transactions, and advise on marketing compliance including TCPA, CIPA, web tracking, consent signals, and digital advertising practices.
IP & legal operations - Participate in the Patent Review Board, coordinate patent prosecution with outside counsel, contribute to key internal policies, and drive legal ops scalability through automation and AI tools.
Skills you’ll bring
J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school; active bar membership in 1+ U.S. states.
8+ years of relevant legal experience, preferably including meaningful time at a recognized law firm with a technology or privacy practice, combined with in-house experience at a SaaS or technology company.
Deep expertise in GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and HIPAA, including privacy-by-design and cross-border data transfers.
Familiarity with AI legal frameworks (EU AI Act, US state AI legislation, FTC priorities).
Experience communicating complex legal concepts to non-legal audiences.
Experience advising Product and Engineering teams on product, privacy, and regulatory matters.
Experience with FCC/TCPA/VoIP regulation or communications products such as call recording, telecom, or voice/AI-enabled workflows.
Experience with incident response and breach notification under US state laws and GDPR.
CIPP/US, CIPP/E, or equivalent privacy certification is a plus.
