Company Description: ORIGIN LIMITED - An innovative, 100% employee-owned IP and tech law firm transitioning into an AI-first practice.
Job Description:
Leverage your STEM background to protect cutting-edge innovations in neurosymbolic AI, quantum computing, and biotech. You will bypass traditional multi-year law school routes through an accelerated SQE pathway, training directly under world-leading IP strategists to draft patents and structure complex licensing deals for VC-backed startups and global tech giants.

Work at the absolute frontier of technology, advising disruptive VC-backed startups and major players like ARM and TikTok on their most critical IP assets.
What you will do:
Collaborate directly with inventors and founders to identify, draft, and protect patents for breakthrough technologies across multiple scientific sectors.
Develop comprehensive IP strategies and handle complex commercial agreements, including high-value licensing deals with global pharmaceutical and tech companies.
Help lead the firm's transition into an AI-first practice, utilizing and building new tools to reshape how legal services are delivered.
The ideal candidate:
Holds a PhD or a first-class/2:1 STEM degree in Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, or Biotech from a top-tier university.
Demonstrates intense curiosity about cross-disciplinary technology and a desire to understand the commercial context behind scientific innovation.
Possesses exceptional interpersonal skills and the ability to articulate complex technical and legal concepts to founders, inventors, and technical teams.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
