  • Partner with R&D to identify innovation early and protect core technologies and product configurations.
  • Conduct proactive landscape monitoring to identify risks and enforcement opportunities.
  • Lead defensive and offensive IP enforcement actions, including litigation and dispute resolution.

M&A and Global Market Expansion Support

  • Lead IP due diligence efforts for mergers, acquisitions, and strategic partnerships in a high-acquisition environment.
  • Integrate acquired IP portfolios and ensure alignment with broader strategic objectives.
  • Advise leadership on IP implications tied to global expansion and commercial agreements.

Collaborate & Influence

  • Act as a strategic legal advisor to product, engineering, marketing, and commercial teams.
  • Manage global outside IP counsel with a strong focus on efficiency, value, and strategic alignment.
  • Foster a culture of IP awareness and innovation protection across the organization.

Contribute to Broader Legal Initiatives

  • As capacity allows, support general corporate legal work including commercial contracts, governance processes, and policy development.
 

What You Bring:

  • JD and active license to practice law.
  • Minimum 4 years of experience in international IP management and strategy.
  • Proven experience managing patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret portfolios.
  • Demonstrated experience in IP litigation and enforcement across jurisdictions.
  • Experience supporting M&A IP due diligence.
  • Ability to work closely with engineering/R&D in technology-driven environments.

Preferred

  • Strong commercial intuition and ability to evaluate IP from a value-creation and risk perspective.
  • Experience working within global organizations across multiple regulatory jurisdictions.
  • Demonstrated intercultural competence and ability to collaborate across borders.
