## Description

We are seeking an Associate General Counsel, Product & IP to provide strategic product counselling on cutting-edge issues at the intersection of IP and agentic and generative AI.

Ideal Candidate:

- At least 8+ years of experience in-house and at a top law firm, ideally both managing at least a portion of an IP portfolio and product counselling.

- Ability to calibrate risk, distinguish business from legal risk, and communicate it clearly to executive, business, and technical audiences.

- A roll-up-your-sleeves attitude to tackle projects large and small with a low-ego approach to collaborating across the organization.

- Deep interest in artificial intelligence, generative AI, and machine learning technology and applications.
