About the role

H.B. Fuller, a global leader in adhesives, seeks a Senior Director of IP to manage the worldwide patent portfolio and oversee trademark, trade secret, and IP transactions. You will partner with the Chief IP Counsel to shape strategy, enforcement, and commercialization of IP assets across business units. Responsibilities include leading IP strategy, supervising patent professionals, managing budgets, and coordinating with legal, R&D, and business teams to advance strategic initiatives.

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.
