Overview

Shape the legal foundation of a high-growth SaaS company.

We’re looking for a Head of Legal to build and lead Evotix’s in-house legal function as we scale globally and prepare for a private equity exit. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for a commercially minded lawyer who can balance risk with opportunity—helping us move fast while staying compliant and protected.

You’ll own all legal, contractual, and governance matters, partnering closely with the Executive Team, Board, and investors to guide strategic decisions. If you thrive in fast-paced, global environments and want to shape the legal backbone of a purpose-driven tech business, this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact.

• Oversee compliance framework in coordination with Finance, Compliance, and IT Security teams.

Employment & HR Support 

• Provide practical legal advice to HR on employment law, contracts, and dispute resolution. 
• Support global mobility, contractor arrangements, and local employment compliance. 

Strategic Leadership
