About the role

A leading law firm in Washington, D.C. is seeking an experienced Technical Advisor or Patent Agent with a strong background in Chemistry. This is a unique opportunity to work alongside attorneys on complex patent matters. Your role will involve analyzing scientific information, assisting with patent prosecution, and conducting technical research. The ideal candidate has 5–7 years of relevant experience and a Ph. D. or advanced degree in Chemistry. An initial contract of 3–6 months with the possibility of extension awaits you.

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.
