• Collaborate with internal teams to improve delivery processes, share client insights, and develop reusable best practices.
• Act as the main point of contact across the project lifecycle, coordinating tasks and managing stakeholder expectations.
• Build strong relationships with clients and partners, working independently to drive projects to successful outcomes.

About You:

• 7+ years of experience in IP consulting, patent research, innovative analytics, or related roles in the patent services space.
• Proven track record of managing and delivering multiple client-facing projects simultaneously.
• Strong familiarity with patent data, innovation databases, and tools like Patsnap or similar platforms.
