AI Solutions Lead – IP Legal / Patent Drafting

We have an exciting new role for an AI Solutions Lead - IP Legal / Patent Drafting to help shape and scale PatSnap’s AI-powered patent drafting solution.

We're looking for someone with hands-on patent drafting experience who is interested in applying that expertise in a broader capacity. You may be a Patent Attorney, Patent Agent, or trainee attorney who enjoys the profession but is curious about where technology is taking it and wants to play a more active role in shaping the tools used by IP professionals.

In this role, you'll become one of the key people helping shape PatSnap's patent drafting solution. You'll work closely with customers to understand their workflows, demonstrate the product, gather feedback, and help ensure we're solving genuine problems for patent professionals.

You'll also play an important role in supporting strategic customer opportunities. Working alongside Sales and Customer Success teams, you'll participate in customer meetings, workshops, demonstrations, proof-of-concepts, and evaluation projects. Your credibility as someone who has done the job yourself will help customers understand how the product can support their drafting workflows and where it can deliver value.

You'll partner with Product Managers and Engineers, bringing practical patent drafting experience into the product development process. Whether it's identifying workflow improvements, validating new capabilities, or helping prioritise future enhancements, you'll play an important role in how the product evolves.

The ideal candidate combines hands-on patent drafting expertise with strong communication skills, commercial awareness, and a genuine interest in technology. They enjoy engaging with customers, are comfortable presenting solutions, and want to play a meaningful role in both product development and customer adoption.

This role is well suited to someone who wants to apply their patent expertise in a broader capacity while helping shape the future of patent drafting technology.
