About Decagon
Decagon is the leading conversational AI platform empowering every brand to deliver concierge customer experience. Our AI agents provide intelligent, human-like responses across chat, email, and voice, resolving millions of customer inquiries across every language and at any time.
Since coming out of stealth, Decagon has experienced rapid growth. We partner with industry leaders like Hertz, Eventbrite, Duolingo, Oura, Bilt, Curology, and Samsara to redefine customer experience at scale. We've raised over $200M from Bain Capital Ventures, Accel, a16z, BOND Capital, A*, Elad Gil, and notable angels such as the founders of Box, Airtable, Rippling, Okta, Lattice, and Klaviyo.
We're an in-office company, driven by a shared commitment to excellence and velocity. Our values-customers are everything, relentless momentum, winner's mindset, and stronger together-shape how we work and grow as a team.
About the Role
We're looking for an experienced Commercial Counsel to join Decagon and help shape the legal foundation of our fast-growing AI company. As a key early hire in this role, you will join a team of legal professionals working as trusted partners to teams across Sales, Security, Product, and Leadership. From negotiating complex enterprise SaaS agreements to streamlining contract operations, you'll play a pivotal role in accelerating revenue, protecting the business, and building scalable legal infrastructure from the ground up.
In this role you will...
Be a part of a team reviewing and negotiating our commercial agreements, working cross functionally to balance legal risk with business outcomes, tailoring your guidance based on context and deal stage.
Build relationships throughout our company, and serve a solutions oriented partner to provide guidance to sales teams based on our technology, market norms, and your experience.
Define what excellent looks like on a legal team in a hypergrowth startup - establish working norms and process to provide top-tier service.
Work to design, update, and enforce policies and controls over Decagon's contracting process.
Grow with the team as Decagon scales, and be open to taking on new challenges outside of Commercial legal as appropriate.
You'd be a good fit if you...
Are a qualified attorney in your jurisdiction with 4 - 7+ years of legal experience, including time at a top-tier law firm and/or a relevant in-house role.
Have deep experience drafting, negotiating, and closing on a high volume of commercial agreements, including SaaS, MSAs, SOWs, NDAs, DPAs, and partner/reseller deals.
Are fluent in legal frameworks (like GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA), security concepts, AI governance, and intellectual property concerns that arise in SaaS transactions.
Understand how to balance legal risk with business outcomes, and can tailor guidance based on context and deal stage.
Thrive in cross-functional environments and are comfortable being the go-to legal resource for Sales, Finance, Product, and RevOps as we build out a global contracting process.
Can leave your ego at the door and communicate clearly and effectively, translating legal complexity and abstract risk into actionable guidance for internal non-legal stakeholders - and do the same with counterparties who may not be at the same level of sophistication.
Are flexible, eager to learn and grow, and are energized by fast growth, ambiguity, and the opportunity to build scalable legal systems that drive velocity.
Even better if...
Have in-house legal experience at a high-growth SaaS or technology company.
Have a process-building mindset, and have worked closely with RevOps or LegalOps on CLM tools and Salesforce integrations.
Are experienced leading customer-facing contract negotiations directly with enterprise clients, and especially highly-regulated customers (financial services, healthcare, SLED & FED).
Have negotiated AI terms with counterparties - and can articulate common issues with brevity.
Have built and maintained legal playbooks, fallback clause libraries, and approved workflows.
Have trained commercial teams on contract review, negotiation strategy, or compliance topics, and are eager to mentor junior colleagues.
Benefits
Fully paid medical, dental, and vision benefits
Take what you need vacation policy
Daily lunches, dinners and snacks in the office to keep you at your best
Compensation
$225,000-$290,000 + equity

At Sierra, we're creating a platform to help businesses build better, more human customer experiences with AI. We are primarily an in-person company based in San Francisco, with growing offices in Atlanta, New York, London, and Singapore.
We are guided by a set of values that are at the core of our actions and define our culture: Trust, Customer Obsession, Craftsmanship, Intensity, and Family. These values are the foundation of our work, and we are committed to upholding them in everything we do.
Our co-founders are Bret Taylor and Clay Bavor. Bret currently serves as Board Chair of OpenAI. Previously, he was co-CEO of Salesforce (which had acquired the company he founded, Quip) and CTO of Facebook. Bret was also one of Google's earliest product managers and co-creator of Google Maps. Before founding Sierra, Clay spent 18 years at Google, where he most recently led Google Labs. Earlier, he started and led Google's AR/VR effort, Project Starline, and Google Lens. Before that, Clay led the product and design teams for Google Workspace.
What you'll do
As one of our early legal hires, you will have the opportunity to join a small but high-impact legal team at an early stage. We are looking for someone who has deep expertise in commercial contracts, but also someone who is also eager to broaden their scope across IP, regulatory, and product. You will thrive in dynamic environments, enjoy tackling challenges beyond your comfort zone, and be excited to contribute across the business. In return, we'll provide the support and opportunities you need to grow and excel as a lawyer. You'll be part of a legal team that is highly respected within both the company and the broader legal industry-committed to excellence, collaboration, and making a meaningful impact.
Commercial Contracting: Structure, negotiate and advise on all commercial contracts, including SaaS subscription agreements, technology licenses, professional services agreements, channel partner agreement, vendor agreements and NDAs. Commercial privacy and security contracting experience (e.g., DPAs, BAAs, security agreements) is a plus.
Operational Excellence: Help build out our commercial function to be best in class. We aim to be the fastest and strongest, where the legal team is the differentiator in the contract lifecycle. You will be developing templates, playbooks, and workflows to drive efficiency and scalability.
Expertise: Deep knowledge of practice areas that underpin the commercial practice, including contract law, IP and privacy. You will also want to work in AI and understand the nuances of law as it relates to AI, including the evolving regulatory frameworks. You will be expected to advise broadly on all contractual issues and be comfortable doing so.
Teamwork: A team player first and foremost. Sierra is a unique place to work, with a strong sense of togetherness, and the legal team is no exception. You will look out for your colleagues, be accustomed to sharing and helping the team succeed.
Judgement: Understand risk in the context of a hyperscaling business, have sound judgement and be strategic in your decision making. You will not be afraid to make judgement calls, and you will be empowered to do so.
Approach: A strong work ethic with an eye for detail. You will strive for perfection, and expect that of others.
Collaborate: Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Operations, and Agent Development teams to support revenue growth and strategic business initiatives.
What you'll bring
2-6 years of legal experience, with a combination of both large law firm and in-house experience at a tech company.
A strong background in negotiating and managing complex commercial contracts, preferably in SaaS, AI, or enterprise software.
Strong communication skills (verbal and written) and the ability to partner with both legal and non-legal stakeholders.
A proactive mindset and the ability to navigate ambiguity in a fast-paced, dynamic startup environment.
Even better…
Experience of privacy/regulatory frameworks and can advise on data processing agreements and security-related contract provisions.
A passion for AI, with a deep understanding of AI products, LLMs and the related legal issues.
Law firm experience at a top-tier, internationally recognized law firm.
Experience working at a high-growth startup and operating with a sense of ownership.
Our values
Trust: We build trust with our customers with our accountability, empathy, quality, and responsiveness. We build trust in AI by making it more accessible, safe, and useful. We build trust with each other by showing up for each other professionally and personally, creating an environment that enables all of us to do our best work.
Customer Obsession: We deeply understand our customers' business goals and relentlessly focus on driving outcomes, not just technical milestones. Everyone at the company knows and spends time with our customers. When our customer is having an issue, we drop everything and fix it.
Craftsmanship: We get the details right, from the words on the page to the system architecture. We have good taste. When we notice something isn't right, we take the time to fix it. We are proud of the products we produce. We continuously self-reflect to continuously self-improve.
Intensity: We know we don't have the luxury of patience. We play to win. We care about our product being the best, and when it isn't, we fix it. When we fail, we talk about it openly and without blame so we succeed the next time.
Family: We know that balance and intensity are compatible, and we model it in our actions and processes. We are the best technology company for parents. We support and respect each other and celebrate each other's personal and professional achievements.
What we offer
We want our benefits to reflect our values and offer the following to full-time employees:

Eligible full-time employees can participate in Sierra's equity plans subject to the terms of the applicable plans and policies.
Be you, with us

To do so, it is important to us that the diversity of our employees represents the diversity of our customers. We believe that our work and culture are better when we encourage, support, and respect different skills and experiences represented within our team. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description. We strive to evaluate all applicants consistently without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, pregnancy, gender expression or identity, sexual orientation, citizenship, or any other legally protected class.

Commercial Counsel
Behavior therapist job in San Francisco, CA
Anthropic's mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.
As a Commercial Counsel at Anthropic, you'll join our dynamic legal team supporting cutting-edge AI initiatives at the forefront of technological innovation. You'll collaborate with diverse teams across the organization, handling a wide variety of agreements including go-to-market contracts, research and product partnerships, procurement deals, and compute infrastructure agreements. This is an exceptional opportunity to tackle novel legal challenges while contributing directly to responsible AI development.
Responsibilities:
Structure, negotiate, and close a potentially wide range of commercial agreements spanning GTM, research collaborations, policy and product partnerships, procurement, and compute infrastructure
Partner collaboratively with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment on commercial terms and initiatives
Develop scalable contract templates, playbooks, and processes to support our fast-growing organization
Identify and manage legal risks while maintaining momentum in our rapidly evolving AI landscape
Stay current on legal developments affecting AI technologies and provide timely guidance to stakeholders
You might be a good fit if you have:
A JD and active membership in at least one U.S. state bar (California preferred)
3-7 years of relevant legal experience
Exceptional attention to detail and analytical skills
Strong ability to quickly learn and adapt to new technologies and legal frameworks
Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate complex legal concepts for non-lawyer audiences
A low-ego, high-empathy orientation to internal colleagues and external partners
Intense curiosity about AI technology and commitment to responsible AI development
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities and ambiguity
A "doer" attitude willing to roll up your sleeves and pitch in where needed
Strong candidates may have:
Experience leveraging AI to optimize their work or studies
Application Deadline: September 15, 2025. Applications will be reviewed after the deadline, and our hiring team plans to begin contacting potential candidates shortly after. We encourage all interested and qualified applicants to submit their materials before this date to ensure full consideration.
The expected salary range for this position is:
$200,000 - $265,000 USD
Logistics
Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.
Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
Visa sponsorship:We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
How we're different
We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact - advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI - rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.
The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
Come work with us!
Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
