About the role

Alcon, the global leader in eye care, is seeking an IP Counsel to join our Legal and Compliance team in Fort Worth, TX. You will manage invention disclosures, oversee patent preparation and prosecution, and advise on IP strategy across devices and manufacturing technologies. Candidates should have a J.D., bar admission, and 4–7 years of patent law experience, with strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with cross-functional partners. Travel may be required.

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.
