Legal & Compliance Executive

At BidX1, we're changing the way property is bought and sold.

We're disruptors. BidX1's digital platform connects users across the globe with real estate opportunities in five markets and enables them to complete the entire purchase online, using technology developed in Dublin.

We're high-growth. BidX1 held the first online property auctions in Ireland in 2015, and by 2019 we had launched operations in Cyprus, the UK and South Africa. We've sold more than 14,000 properties to date, raising more than €3 billion, with bidders from more than 60 countries.

We're sustainable. BidX1 has been carbon neutral since 2019, joined the UN Global Compact in 2021, and submitted our first report to the Carbon Disclosure Project in 2022.

We're good at what we do. BidX1 has been recognised by Deloitte as a Best Managed Company, received backing from Enterprise Ireland, and won numerous awards including a KPMG Property Excellence Award, an Irish Times Innovation Award and an Estates Gazette Tech Award.

But that's enough about us – we'd like to meet you!
