This role requires diligence, the ability to develop a strong understanding of intellectual property (IP) licensing, legal documentation, and the nuances of product distribution in a wholesale environment.

  • Maintain up-to-date records of all product licenses, ensuring timely renewals, adherence to contract terms, and regulatory compliance.
  • Support the development of new licensing opportunities, collaborating with internal teams to negotiate and finalize product licensing deals.

Contract and Agreement Support:

  • Assist in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating product licensing agreements, ensuring all terms align with business objectives and legal requirements.
  • Collaborate with the legal team to interpret contract clauses, resolve legal issues, and ensure proper documentation for product licensing agreements.
  • Conduct research on licensing restrictions, intellectual property laws, and product compliance to provide guidance to internal teams.

Wholesale and Distribution Coordination:

  • Support wholesale teams in managing product distribution agreements that involve licensed products.
  • Ensure that product licenses comply with wholesale operations, including distribution rights, territory exclusivity, pricing agreements, and marketing usage.
  • Monitor wholesale and licensing agreements to ensure compliance with contractual obligations, including royalty payments, sales reporting, and performance benchmarks.

Regulatory Compliance and IP Protection:

  • Maintain a basic working understanding of IP law and product licensing regulations to ensure compliance with domestic and international standards.
  • Assist with trademark and copyright registration processes related to licensed products, working closely with the legal team.
  • Coordinate and act as the point person on licensing audits or disputes, providing necessary documentation and representing the company in discussions with licensors or regulatory bodies.

Cross-Departmental Collaboration:

  • Work with sales, marketing, product development, and legal teams to ensure proper execution of licensing agreements, including branding guidelines and product approvals.
  • Act as a liaison between licensors and the company, ensuring communication of licensing terms, obligations, and deadlines across departments.
  • Support marketing teams in ensuring that promotional materials and product packaging meet the requirements of licensing agreements.

Ideal Qualifications/Skills:

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Legal Studies, Intellectual Property, or related field (certification as a paralegal is a big plus, but by no means required).
  • 2+ years' experience in product licensing, contract management, or paralegal work, preferably in wholesale or distribution sectors.
  • Strong understanding or ability to develop a strong understanding of product licensing, intellectual property laws, and contract negotiation.
  • Experience with wholesale operations, including knowledge of distribution agreements for licensed products.
  • Experience with royalty management, sales reporting, and compliance monitoring for licensed products.
  • Knowledge of global IP and licensing regulations.
  • Excellent organizational skills with a high level of attention to detail and deadlines.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to liaise with legal professionals, licensors, and business stakeholders.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and legal management software.
