Location: Italy (Hybrid – regular presence in Parma required)
Sector: Intellectual Property | Biotechnology & Healthcare
Salary: € Competitive + Benefits
The Role:
We're working with a cutting-edge, research-driven biotechnology and healthcare organisation that is pushing the boundaries of science and innovation. They are now looking for a Patent Attorney Manager with a strong foundation in biotechnology and chemistry to play a pivotal role in protecting breakthrough discoveries and advancing global healthcare solutions.
This is not just another IP role, this is your opportunity to sit at the intersection of science, innovation, and strategy, partnering closely with R&D; teams to safeguard and maximise the value of complex, high-impact biotech developments.
Why This Role Stands Out:
- Work on innovative biotech, molecular, and chemical technologies at the forefront of the life sciences industry
- Collaborate directly with scientists and researchers on cutting-edge projects
- Take ownership of global IP strategy and protection
- Be part of a dynamic, fast-growing, and highly collaborative environment
What You'll Be Doing:
- Lead prior art searches and deliver insightful patentability assessments
- Provide expert advice on infringement and validity matters
- Draft and manage international patent applications and prosecution
- Monitor competitor activity and assess third-party patent landscapes
- Support due diligence projects, including in-licensing opportunities
- Contribute to opposition and litigation proceedings
- Act as a key advisor to R&D; teams across the full biotech and product development lifecycle
The Candidate:
You are a scientifically-minded IP professional who thrives in a fast-paced, innovation-led environment. You bring:
- A Master's degree (or equivalent) in Biotechnology, Chemistry, or a closely related Life Sciences discipline
- 3–5+ years of experience in biotech/chemical IP (industry or private practice)
- Strong understanding of biotech innovation, chemical processes, and R&D; pipelines
- Qualification as an Italian Patent Attorney and progress toward European Patent Attorney status
- Fluency in English and Italian
- A proactive, adaptable mindset with strong analytical skills
Location & Working Style (Important):
This role is based in Italy and requires candidates to live within Italy. While the position offers hybrid flexibility, you will be expected to travel to Parma on a frequent (typically weekly) basis to collaborate with key teams on-site. This is a core part of the role and essential for success.
Ready to Make an Impact?
If you're passionate about biotechnology, chemistry, and intellectual property, and want to play a key role in bringing life-changing innovations to market, this could be your next move.
