About Qogita
Qogita [Ko-gi-ta] is on a mission to make global trade radically efficient by building the operating system for modern wholesale.

Wholesale is a €50 trillion market still largely run through phone calls, catalogues and trade shows. Behind every product sits a fragmented chain of sourcing, trading and logistics that makes wholesale slower, more complex and expensive than it should be.

Qogita is changing this by connecting the global market into a single order book, building the rails to move products across borders efficiently, and providing the intelligence to help businesses know what to stock, what it’s worth and where it should go.

We operate across health and beauty in 30+ European markets, with ambitions to reach every category, everywhere. Backed by Accel, Bessemer, Dawn and LocalGlobe, we’re one of Europe’s fastest-growing B2B companies.

We’re an ambitious, pragmatic and highly collaborative team, united by a desire to reshape one of the world’s biggest markets.

The role

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.

About Qogita

Qogita is a B2B wholesale marketplace that connects retailers with wholesalers and brands, mainly in health and beauty. Its platform automatically splits each buyer's order across sellers, taking into account their prices, minimum order values and shipping costs.

The company was founded in London in 2021 and much of its team works from its Amsterdam office.
