About the role

Nextpower seeks a Patent Agent to partner with engineers and leaders to identify potentially patentable inventions and describe them in writing. You will oversee and review outside counsel drafts of US patent applications, conduct prior-art searches, and coordinate international patent prosecution to support strategic protection of Nextpower's portfolio. With a focus on practical IP processes, you will help evaluate existing portfolios and guide continuations, design protection, or broaden claim

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
