Role
We are hiring a Senior Intellectual Property Paralegal to assist with the IP and operational backbone of that work. This is a hands-on role for someone who is happiest when the records are current, the repository is accurate, every document has a number and a home, and nothing is waiting on a signature that no one has chased. Roughly half the job is traditional paralegal work, and half is IP prosecution and operations: the systems, workflows and reporting that let a lean department carry a large volume.
This role is part of a well-supported small team with a large impact, working directly with the Legal Ops Manager and supporting our Deputy General Counsel, Vice President of IP and Executive Legal Counsel.
