Чем предстоит заниматься
Dispatch is looking for a Head of Legal to own the day-to-day legal function at Dispatch
This is a highly hands-on role for an experienced commercial attorney who is comfortable operating as an individual contributor, making practical risk decisions, and building the legal infrastructure of an early-stage company. You will work closely with our Sales, Customer Success, Product, Security, Finance, People, and executive teams, with particular responsibility for enterprise commercial agreements, privacy and data matters, and the legal processes that support our growth
The ideal candidate combines strong law firm training with meaningful in-house experience at an early-stage (Series C or earlier) B2B SaaS company. You should be equally comfortable negotiating a complex enterprise agreement, advising the business on a new data-sharing arrangement, and creating the templates and playbooks that allow the company to move faster without introducing unnecessary risk
This role reports to the COO and is an individual contributor position initially with the expectation of growing and scaling the team over time
Fundraising, investor matters and other specialized corporate matters will continue to be handled by outside counsel
How You'll Operate
This role is designed for someone who likes being close to the business
You will handle the company's highest-volume and highest-impact legal work, create repeatable systems where they do not yet exist, and know when an issue warrants escalation to specialized outside counsel
Success in this role means helping Dispatch move quickly while making thoughtful, commercially grounded decisions about risk. The goal is not to eliminate risk; it is to make sure the company understands it, takes it deliberately, and builds the processes needed to scale
What You'll Own
Own the commercial contracting function, including drafting, reviewing, and negotiating MSAs, order forms, amendments, statements of work, and multi-year enterprise agreements
Lead negotiations with sophisticated enterprise customers and their legal, procurement, privacy, and security teams
Develop pragmatic positions on indemnification, limitations of liability, warranties, insurance, intellectual property, termination rights, service levels, and other material commercial terms
Partner closely with Sales and company leadership to balance revenue objectives, customer requirements, and legal and business risk
Build and maintain contract templates, negotiation playbooks, approval thresholds, and fallback positions that allow the company to scale contracting efficiently
Evaluate and implement systems and processes to improve contract intake, negotiation, approval, execution, and management

Strong business judgment and the ability to distinguish material risk from theoretical risk
Ability to operate independently, prioritize competing demands, and provide clear recommendations rather than simply identifying legal issues
Experience serving as a company's first legal hire
