Senior Commercial Counsel

Company Overview Deepgram is the leading platform underpinning the emerging trillion-dollar Voice AI economy, providing real-time APIs for speech-to-text (STT), text-to-speech (TTS), and building production-grade voice agents at scale. More than 200,000 developers and 1,300+ organizations build voice offerings that are ‘Powered by Deepgram’, including Twilio, Cloudflare, Sierra, Decagon, Vapi, Daily, Cresta, Granola, and Jack in the Box. Deepgram’s voice-native foundation models are accessed through cloud APIs or as self-hosted and on-premises software, with unmatched accuracy, low latency, and cost efficiency. Backed by a recent Series C led by leading global investors and strategic partners, Deepgram has processed over 50,000 years of audio and transcribed more than 1 trillion words. There is no organization in the world that understands voice better than Deepgram. Company Operating Rhythm At Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset—AI use and comfort aren’t optional, they’re core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance. Every team member who works at Deepgram is expected to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and even build your own into your everyday work. We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here. Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do. Additionally, we move at the pace of AI.

Change is rapid, and you can expect your day-to-day work to evolve just as quickly. This may not be the right role if you’re not excited to experiment, adapt, think on your feet, and learn constantly, or if you’re seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional 9-to-5. Opportunity: We’re looking for an exceptional commercial lawyer to join our lean, high-impact legal team as our second commercial lawyer. This role is for someone who thrives at the intersection of law and business strategy — a deal-maker with sharp instincts, sound judgment, and genuine excitement about what Deepgram is building and how we are changing what is possible with speech. Our legal team has a real seat at the table. You’ll close deals that matter, shape legal strategy at the frontier of AI, and craft commercial frameworks that are being built for the first time in this space. You’ll also help establish a legal function that scales with a company on a steep trajectory, reporting directly to our Associate General Counsel (Commercial). This role will be based in the UK/EU and will play a lead role in supporting our growing UK/EU and APAC business, including our expanding presence in the UK, EU, India, Australia, and Singapore. This is a role for a builder.
