About Us

QuantWare is building the world's most powerful quantum processors to solve humanity's greatest challenges. We do this with our unique VIO™ technology, the only QPU architecture that breaks the hardware barriers that have held quantum computing back, unlocking the path to MegaQubit quantum processors.

With VIO, we are paving the way for the hyper-scale quantum computers that will change the world. And delivering on that vision demands people who don't shy away from tackling the hardest challenges of our time. That's where you come in!

We are scaling rapidly and Legal is becoming one of the most consequential functions in the business as a result. This role is the company's first in-house lawyer - sole owner of everything legal, reporting to the CFO, partnering them and the wider management team through IPO readiness and beyond.

This is not a caretaker role. You'll be drafting and negotiating multi-million-pound commercial agreements one day, tracking shareholder resolutions the next, and defining governance frameworks needed to scale internationally the day after that. You will be the function as much as run it: choosing outside counsel, building playbooks, and deciding what QuantWare handles in-house versus externally.

What you'll own

IPO and public-company readiness -

• Partner with the CFO, external counsel, auditors and bankers on the listing process, corporate structure and financial regulator compliance requirements.
• Help build the governance, disclosure and reporting infrastructure a newly public company needs - and keep it running once listed.

Commercial contracts -

• Lead negotiation and drafting of complex, high-value commercial agreements (customer, supplier, licensing, IP)
• Act as the commercial risk gatekeeper without becoming the bottleneck: pragmatic, deal-literate, and fast.
