About Exotel

Exotel is one of Asia’s largest customer communication platforms, helping enterprises move voice, messaging, contact centres, and AI-driven customer interactions to the cloud. We work with leading brands across fintech, e-commerce, consumer tech, and banking, powering billions of conversations every year.


Role Overview – Legal Associate

Exotel is at the intersection of CPaaS, CCaaS, and Conversational AI, transforming how enterprises communicate at scale. As a Legal Associate, you will support this transformation by owning and scaling commercial contracting across products, customers, and geographies.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you’ll work on AI-led, enterprise-grade agreements, build legal playbooks, and help evolve Exotel’s legal systems toward public-company readiness.


Why This Role Matters

  • Exposure across CPaaS, CCaaS, Conversational AI, and large enterprise deployments

  • Direct ownership of contracts end-to-end, not a narrow review role

  • Close collaboration with Sales, Product, Engineering, Security, and CX teams

  • Opportunity to build scalable legal processes, automation, and playbooks

  • Fast learning curve in an AI-first, high-growth environment


Key Responsibilities

  • Independently review, negotiate, and close commercial agreements (MSAs, SaaS, DPAs, SLAs, SOWs, partner contracts)

  • Identify and mitigate risks across data privacy, telecom, AI commitments, IP, security, liability, and SLAs

  • Partner with Sales and business teams to enable faster, business-friendly deal closures

  • Build strong product understanding across telephony, APIs, AI workflows, and SLAs

  • Contribute to contract playbooks, CLM workflows, and legal automation initiatives

  • Support governance, compliance, and audit readiness


What We’re Looking For

Must-have

  • 5–7 years of commercial contracting experience in tech / SaaS / platform companies

  • Strong enterprise contract negotiation skills

  • Ability to understand complex products and technical concepts

  • Comfort operating in fast-paced, cross-functional environments

Skills

  • Clear drafting and redlining

  • Strong communication and structured thinking

  • Business-oriented, pragmatic mindset

  • Ability to prioritize and move fast

Nice to have

  • Experience in CPaaS, telecom, AI, or data privacy

  • Exposure to CLM tools or contracting automation


 

Education

  • LLB (mandatory)

  • Certifications in technology, privacy, telecom, or AI law are a plus
