Conduct IP clearance searches and advise on go/no-go decisions for trademarks, patents, designs and domains.

Manage the prosecution process: oversee filings, responses to examiner actions, renewals, recordals and docket maintenance.

Draft, review and negotiate IP-related clauses in commercial contracts, licensing, technology and distribution agreements.

Provide internal advice/training to stakeholders (product, marketing, sales) on IP usage, brand protection and risk mitigation.

Maintain an audit-ready IP registry and create performance reports and dashboards for senior management.

Engage and manage external counsel, agents and service-providers; monitor budgets and deliverables.

Stay up to date with IP laws, regulations and best practices in the UAE/GCC region and globally; propose process improvements and implement SOPs.

Qualifications & Experience

Law degree (LL.B. / J.D.) with admission to practise in at least one jurisdiction.

Minimum 5-7 years (or higher for senior roles) of hands-on IP experience, preferably in the UAE/GCC region, including prosecution, enforcement and licensing matters.

Strong track record in trademark/patent prosecution, brand protection, domain disputes, takedowns, and multi-jurisdictional IP matters.

Proven drafting/negotiation skills for contracts, licensing and commercial transactions.

Excellent analytical, communication and stakeholder-management skills; able to work cross-functionally and deliver under pressure.

High integrity and sound judgment; ability to handle confidential matters and act with commercial awareness.

Proficiency in MS Office; experience with IP management systems or brand protection tools is an advantage.

Fluency in English; Arabic proficiency is highly desirable.

Key Competencies & Behaviours

Strategic thinker: able to align IP work with business objectives and see the broader commercial impact.

Detail-oriented and organised: strong at managing deadlines, docketing, and prioritising multiple matters.

Influential and collaborative: able to lead, advise and build relationships with business teams and external partners.

Problem-solver: comfortable dealing with complex and evolving IP issues in a dynamic environment.

Results-driven and proactive: takes ownership, acts with urgency and drives improvements in processes and outcomes.

What We Offer
