Job summary

Joom Group, Lisbon-based multinational, seeks an IP Counsel to take full ownership of intellectual property matters across our marketplace and related products. This is a hands-on role—negotiation, enforcement, and advisory work beyond portfolio management.

You will handle EU infringement claims, coordinate with external counsel, and design enforcement workflows with moderation and product teams while advising on merchant authorisation, assortment risks, and platform liability.

Qualifications

• 4–6 years of hands-on IP experience with a strong focus on rights holder disputes and enforcement.
• Practical understanding of trademark and copyright infringement in the context of merchant-uploaded content, and platform liability.
• You will work closely with the product team to assess, explain, and mitigate risks.
• You can work independently and make judgment calls without ongoing supervision.
• Experience instructing and managing external counsel in contentious proceedings.
• Legal English at a professional level.

Responsibilities

• Handle escalated IP infringement claims from rights holders (trademarks, designs, copyright): assess each claim and own the outcome — removal, settlement, or defence
• Manage pre-litigation and court proceedings in the EU, instructing and working with external counsel
• Build and maintain IP enforcement workflows together with moderation and product teams; ensure court orders and rights holder demands are implemented on the platform
• Advise the business on merchant authorisation, assortment risks, and the platform’s intermediary status
• Manage the group’s IP asset portfolio: identifying, recording, and registering internally created IP (TM, software) where legally or fiscally relevant
• Review and negotiate commercial agreements (SaaS, NDA, outstaffing) with EU and US counterparties
• Support privacy matters across Joom products
