About the role

A global law firm is seeking a Director of Patent Operations to lead their Patent Practice Group. You will be responsible for executing operational strategies, managing patent operations teams, and driving process optimization. With over 10 years of experience in patent prosecution operations, this senior leadership role requires exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills. This position is hybrid and can be based in various locations including San Francisco.

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.
