Senior Product Manager

Keeping a patent or trademark alive around the world takes a huge amount of work: filing in each country, translating applications, paying renewals on time, recording every change of ownership. It is high volume, deadline-critical, and still with limited automations. RWS is building the AI-powered engine that changes that, and we are looking for a Senior Product Manager to own it.

The role is hands on. You will spend time with the attorneys, in-house IP teams and operations people who live in this work, work closely with engineers and designers, and move from problem to working software with as few hand offs as possible. We will make sure you have the AI you need to move at pace.
