Job description

Bizagi is at the forefront of the rapidly growing enterprise automation and AI market. We're hunting for top talent across regions to find innovative people that are eager to make an impact.

Our name stands for Business Agility, and we help organizations adapt to a fast-changing world by embedding AI into operations through business orchestration. AI is everywhere, but without a solid foundation, it can't deliver ROI. Bizagi bridges that gap-connecting AI to end-to-end processes and measurable outcomes to ensure real results.

Companies use Bizagi to automate processes, build low-code apps, and integrate systems. Now, they’re adding our AI Agents, Workers, and Assistant in just weeks. Trusted by leaders like DHL, Unilever, and Old Mutual, Bizagi powers daily operations and transforms how business gets done.

What is it like to work at Bizagi?

Founded in LATAM, we're a global company with strong presence in EMEA and growing in NAM. We're proud of our diverse culture, world-class leadership, and incredible team.

At Bizagi, you’ll make a real impact, grow professionally, and enjoy the journey. We value innovation, collaboration, and accountability—and we support flexibility and work-life balance. Diversity, inclusion, and mutual respect are part of who we are.

• Coordinate intellectual property matters, including the trademark portfolio, renewals, deadlines and filings with outside counsel. Maintain up-to-date IP registrations before the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce and National Copyright Office (SIC and DNDA in Spanish).
• Support responses to customer security and compliance questionnaires together with the Security team.
• Handle corporate housekeeping for Bizagi entities, including minutes, powers of attorney, certificates and signature authority.

• Legal AI & Technology: Understanding of AI applications, opportunities, and risks within legal practice, including regulatory and compliance considerations.

• Knowledge of personal data protection regulation.
• Familiarity with intellectual property, including trademark registration and portfolio management.
• Knowledge of corporate law and entity management.

Soft Skills

• Stakeholder Management: Ability to build trusted relationships and effectively manage internal and external stakeholders.
• Adaptability & Flexibility: Comfortable operating in a dynamic environment and adapting to evolving business needs, priorities, and ways of working.
• Collaboration & Cross-Functional Partnership: Ability to work effectively across teams and functions, fostering strong internal relationships and alignment.
• Business-Oriented Negotiation: Ability to balance legal risk with business objectives, remaining firm on material risks while taking a pragmatic approach to non-material matters.
• Clear and Effective Communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex legal issues in plain language to non-legal audiences.
• Learning Agility: Demonstrates curiosity, seeks feedback, asks thoughtful questions, and continuously develops new skills and knowledge.
• Prioritization & Multitasking: Ability to manage multiple matters simultaneously and deliver results in a fast-paced, international environment.
