🏢 Who We Are
SINGU was founded on the belief that true success in real estate comes from continuous innovation. Our vision is to lead Europe in delivering cutting-edge software for facility management, maintenance, and ESG compliance.
SINGU is one of the fastest-growing PropTech companies in Europe. Today, our platform manages over 250 million square metres of real estate for 2500+ clients across 40 countries, helping property managers digitalise and automate their operations, from maintenance to portfolio management.
SINGU Group now brings together several European businesses (Micad by SINGU, Singu Germany, QRMaint, and Synbiotix), with teams in Poland, Cyprus, the UK, and the DACH region, and more acquisitions on the way.
We are a dynamic, forward-thinking organisation where adaptability, collaboration, trust and ambition drive how we work. We put our clients at the heart of everything we do, and we make sure to have fun along the way.
🎯 About the Role
This is the first in-house legal role in SINGU’s history. You will build the legal function from the ground up and become the day-to-day owner of legal risk across the Group, working closely with the Group CFO.
Today, legal work is handled by a mix of external firms across several jurisdictions. That model served us well at an earlier stage, but it does not scale for a multi-country group that is moving upmarket into enterprise deals and acquiring companies continuously.
We are looking for a commercially minded Legal Counsel who likes getting deals done. Someone who knows our commercial position well enough to negotiate hard and fast, who can bring order to our contract suite and governance, and who sees M&A, compliance and people law as part of one connected job.
The role goes well beyond working through a queue of document requests. Together with the Group CFO, you will shape the legal strategy, design how the business works with legal, and personally lead the most important matters.
📍 Location: London, Warsaw, or Kraków, hybrid (regular office presence), with occasional travel to other locations.
🧭 Reporting line: Group CFO. You will work closely with the Executive Leadership Team and support the Board.
👥 Team: Initially a team of one, managing a panel of external counsel across jurisdictions, with scope to build a small legal team as the Group grows.
💼 What You’ll Do
You will own your work and be accountable for results. In practice, this means:
1. Commercial contracts & deal support
- Own the customer contract suite – take full ownership of our customer-facing legal documents (MSA, Order Form, DPA, EULA, EU Data Act Addendum, Security Policy, SOW and Supplemental T&Cs) and make them complete, consistent and easy for Sales to use.
- Negotiate enterprise deals – lead redlines and negotiations on larger and more complex deals, protecting our commercial position (e.g. billing and implementation triggers, liability, service scope, payment terms) while shortening sales cycles.
- Build a contract governance model – define document ownership, approval rights, negotiation limits and fallback positions, version control, and a review cadence, and decide clearly what is Group-standard and what is country-specific.
- Localise for our markets – deliver compliant local versions where required, starting with Germany (German MSA, EULA, DPA addendum, Order Form, SOW and Security Policy).
- Support bids and procurement – provide legal input on tenders, public and enterprise procurement requirements, and customer security and compliance questionnaires.
- Handle day-to-day agreements – NDAs, partner, supplier and vendor contracts (including HR and technology vendors), and third-party liaison, mostly through templates and playbooks that the business can use on its own.
2. M&A and integration
- Support legal for our buy-and-build M&A model – lead legal due diligence, deal structuring, transaction documents and negotiations on acquisitions, working with our investors, Finance and external advisers.
- Own post-close legal integration – align contracts, entities, software licensing agreements and policies of acquired businesses with Group standards.
- Secure the people side of deals – together with People & Culture, make sure employees of acquired companies land on the right contracts, pay and benefits, and that any restructuring or redundancy process is legally sound in every jurisdiction.
- Build a repeatable playbook – so every transaction is faster, cheaper and more consistent than the last.
3. Compliance, data protection & regulatory
- Own a coherent compliance framework – across UK and EU GDPR, the EU Data Act, sector-specific data handling for enterprise clients, and other obligations, resolving overlaps and conflicts between regimes.
- Be the single legal owner of data protection – including employee data, working with the Data Protection / IT Security lead and People & Culture; oversee DSARs, data processing terms and security commitments made to customers.
- Horizon-scan and keep leadership informed – track changes in Polish, EU, UK and German law that affect the business, flag them early, and give the ELT and Board regular, clear legal updates.
- Manage disputes and exposure – handle pre-litigation, litigation and regulatory matters proactively, with the right external support.
4. Employment & people law
- Be the legal partner to People & Culture – across Poland, the UK and DACH, covering employment contracts, settlement agreements, formal complaints and grievances, ACAS and other employment disputes, and threatened legal action.
- Validate policies by jurisdiction – review and sign off HR and Group policies so they are legally sound in every country where we operate.
- Bring consistency to immigration and right to work – set a clear approach and manage the external providers we rely on.
5. Corporate governance, IP & risk
- Strengthen Group governance – support Board and shareholder matters, entity management across jurisdictions, and a clean legal structure that is ready for scrutiny from investors and future buyers.
- Protect Group IP – make sure intellectual property across all Group companies is properly owned, registered where relevant, and protected in our contracts.
- Align software licensing – bring the separate software licensing agreements of Group companies into one consistent approach, kept up to date with GDPR and governance requirements.
- Be the dedicated risk owner – replace single points of failure with clear escalation routes and faster decisions on contractual and regulatory exposure.
6. Build the legal function
- Create a clear “legal front door” – so everyone knows when and
