More specifically you will work with handling IP matters independently and assuming the full responsibility in relation to top management as well as other relevant managers throughout the business organisation is also a key area. You will proactively increase the awareness about IP within the company and providing internal IP training at higher level to the organisation. Acting as project leader of large and complex IP driven projects are another important focus area.

To be actively engaged in leading and driving the development of the own organisation and focusing on continuous improvements and drives change throughout the business organisation will be an important part of the role. You will participate in internal meetings and committees within the R&D organisation where innovation and future technology road maps are discussed.

We see that you have excellent inter-personal skills in resolving conflicts and extensive experience in leading, mentoring and coaching an IP team with a strong interest in developing the individual team members as well as the team's way of working.

You have high level of analytical skills and high ability not only to analyse and understand the details in a specific matter with high complexity, but also the ability to apply IP, business and financial aspects of relevance for the organisation.
