Head of Legal

Description
We’re looking for a Head of Legal to own our legal function and help shape the next stage of Qogita’s growth. You’ll work directly with the CFO and leadership team, bringing independent judgement, clear recommendations and practical ways to turn commercial ambitions into action.
Trademark/IP and distribution will be central to your remit, alongside commercial agreements, corporate governance and international expansion. You’ll be hands-on with significant matters, lead a small internal team and use external specialists where they add value.

Requirements

• Lead our legal strategy. Set priorities, advise leadership on consequential decisions and take responsibility for recommendations through to implementation.
• Own trademark and distribution matters, helping shape trading models.
• Help the business grow. Partner with Commercial, Operations, Product and Finance on new markets, categories, sourcing arrangements and partnerships. Develop legal structures and operating approaches that make these opportunities possible.
• Handle commercial and corporate matters. Structure and negotiate material agreements, oversee governance and support fundraising, equity and other strategic projects.
• Run an effective legal function. Manage external counsel, budgets and specialist advice across jurisdictions. Improve playbooks and AI-assisted workflows so routine work is handled efficiently.
