🟢 Build the next version of Mapon
Mapon builds B2B SaaS for companies whose work happens in the physical world. Our platform helps businesses manage vehicles, drivers, and equipment, improve road safety, reduce costs, automate daily operations, and comply with complex transport regulations.
We started in Riga in 2006. Today, more than 35,000 clients use Mapon, with over 400,000 connected devices on the platform. We have 200+ colleagues across Europe and a network of 150+ partners worldwide. Mapon is a growing, profitable international business. We have completed eight acquisitions and intend to keep growing organically and through M&A.
We are growing through new products, larger enterprise and public-sector customers, and acquisitions across Europe. To support the next stage of growth we are hiring our first in-house Head of Legal.
🕹 Role Description
As Head of Legal you will build and lead Mapon's legal function and act as the group's designated Data Protection Officer. You will be the trusted legal adviser to the management team and the board, set the legal agenda, and turn legal and regulatory requirements into practical decisions for the business. You will direct the work of our retained legal counsel and external law firms across our markets.
This is a hands-on role for someone who likes to build: you will shape how legal work is organised at Mapon, not only respond to requests.
You will have the opportunity to build Mapon’s legal function as its first Head of Legal, working closely with management and the Board, while taking on a broad mandate across commercial, corporate, M&A, data protection, and regulatory matters within an international group.
🎯 What you will do
Build the legal function:
- Set up and run the legal operating model: matter management, contract repository, legal calendar and reporting to management.
- Create and maintain group templates and negotiation playbooks for customer, supplier, partner and employment agreements.
- Own the legal budget and decide which matters are handled in-house, by retained counsel or by external firms.
Commercial legal:
- Negotiate and approve customer agreements, including enterprise customers, public tenders and data processing agreements.
- Support the evolution of Mapon's commercial models for hardware, software subscriptions and services.
- Advise sales, product and operations teams on contract risk and practical solutions.
Corporate, M&A and financing:
- Manage corporate governance for the group's companies and branches, including board and shareholder documentation and powers of attorney.
- Lead the legal side of acquisitions: due diligence, transaction documents, negotiation and post-closing integration.
- Prepare the company legally for future financing, including data room readiness and shareholder agreement work.
Data protection and Data Protection Officer:
- Act as Mapon's Data Protection Officer under the GDPR: inform and advise the company, monitor compliance, advise on data protection impact assessments and act as the contact point for the Data State Inspectorate and data subjects.
- Maintain the record of processing activities, data protection policies and breach-response procedures.
- Report to the board on data protection at least once a year.
Regulatory compliance:
- Lead Mapon's compliance with the EU AI Act, NIS2 cybersecurity requirements, sanctions and export controls, whistleblowing rules and pay transparency.
- Own group policies and keep the management team ahead of upcoming regulation relevant to telematics and connected vehicles.
Employment and disputes
- Oversee employment documentation and policies across our countries, working with HR and local counsel.
- Manage claims and disputes together with external counsel.
🧩 What we are looking for
- Master's degree in law.
- At least 8 years of legal experience after qualification, including at least 3 years in-house, ideally in a B2B software, telematics or technology company.
- Hands-on M&A experience, ideally having led or co-led transactions.
- Expert knowledge of GDPR and data protection practice, sufficient to act as Data Protection Officer.
- Solid experience in commercial and technology contracting, including SaaS and data processing terms.
- Working knowledge of the EU AI Act and NIS2, or a strong interest in mastering them.
- Fluent English; Latvian is strongly preferred (English is needed for communication with our other branches and partners as we are international company).
- A proactive, commercially minded approach: you set priorities, drive work to completion and explain legal risk in plain language.
It is an advantage if you have:
- Cross-border experience in the Baltic and Nordic countries.
- Experience with IoT, connected-vehicle or telematics products.
- Previous Data Protection Officer experience or the Data State Inspectorate DPO qualification.
- Experience supporting an equity financing round.
