VP of Legal

About the Role 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 Commercial Contracts
