Are you looking for a project where you can truly grow and make an impact with what you do?
We are looking for an Employment Director to lead our Legal & Employment team, reporting to our founder and CEO, Oriol (In).
Who are we? 😊Founded in 2018, Qida is a private and social high-growth start-up with a clear mission: to make the health and social care system sustainable. We do this by helping more people live longer and with a better quality of life at home (Triple M), reducing avoidable hospitalisations and promoting more preventive, coordinated, humane and patient-centred care.
At Qida, social impact and economic impact go hand in hand, the two are inseparable and both are a necessary condition for fulfilling our mission.
Today we are a team of more than 300 people in the office and 1,800 home-based carers, and we have served more than 25,000 families. In 2025 we closed a €37M funding round, the largest social impact round in Spain and southern Europe. We are leaders in quality (4.8/5) and in technology in the sector.
We are looking for a person who will lead and coordinate all the employment activities of the Group, ensuring operational excellence, regulatory compliance, risk control and solid support for the business.
You will be a key figure in raising the level of legal and employment maturity of the Group, providing legal judgement and structure, reinforcing our quality standards in an environment of strong operational intensity, and supporting the integration and harmonisation of processes and policies across the different companies in the Group.

Coordination of obtaining and maintaining the authorisations and accreditations needed to operate in each geography, as well as quality and information security certifications (ISO, ENS…)
Cross-functional legal support and advice on commercial, administrative and tax matters, providing first-level response to the business in these areas and coordinating with external advisers when necessary
Leadership and development of the employment team (currently 6 people)
You are a good person, committed and eager to change the world for the better: you care about what you do and the impact you have
Degree in Law with a specialisation in Employment Law
10+ years of experience in employment roles within a company, ideally as Employment Director (or equivalent role) in a services company with a high volume of staff and significant employment complexity

Our value proposition is clear:
You will work with good people who are also good people; the quality of talent matters to us and motivates us
You will work on a high-growth project building something truly ambitious
What we do has a real impact on people's lives; the meaning of what we do is the reason we are here
