Five9 Jobs

Location: This role is preferably based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Dallas, TX, or on the East Coast. Hybrid or remote arrangements will be considered for the right candidate. Hybrid employees work in the San Ramon/Dallas office three days a week (Tuesday through Thursday).

You will negotiate and close the contracts that bring Five9's cloud contact center and AI products to customers. You will be pivotal in enabling Five9’s revenue growth working directly with Sales to close complex deals quickly while addressing issues such as AI, security, and privacy in alignment with company business processes, policies, and objectives.

• Advise Sales, Product, Partner team, Sales Operations, Compliance, Procurement, and Finance on legal and business issues and address data use, privacy, cybersecurity, AI, and regulatory questions that arise in deals.
• Offer practical solutions that protect the company and keep deals moving in a high-pressure, high-growth environment.
• Build and refine contract templates, negotiation playbooks, and frequently asked questions that raise deal velocity across the team.

Your Team and Your Impact

You will join a business-focused Transactions team inside Legal and Compliance, reporting to the VP, Legal Transactions. You will work side-by-side with Sales leadership, and you will have a real voice in how Five9 handles AI terms in customer contracts as the market changes.

Nice to Have

• Experience supporting product teams on AI-enabled and data-driven features.
