IP Administrator

IP Administrator – Manchester - Hybrid

We are seeking an enthusiastic and detail-oriented IP Administrator to join our Manchester office. This is an excellent opportunity to develop your experience within intellectual property, working as part of a supportive and knowledgeable team in a well-established firm.

As an IP Administrator, you will play a key role in supporting the patent team by ensuring that applications and related documentation are prepared and filed accurately and on time. The role requires a high level of attention to detail, strong organisational skills, and the ability to manage multiple deadlines effectively.

• Prepare forms for filing patent applications with a strong focus on accuracy and compliance.
• Prepare and submit supporting documentation to various Patent Offices using relevant online filing systems.
• Draft documents and correspondence for clients and overseas agents, including technically detailed content.
• Create and process invoices, including more complex billing matters.
• Review incoming workflow correspondence to prioritise urgent deadlines.
• Work collaboratively across teams and provide general administrative support as required.

• Strong administrative skills and a process-driven, detail-oriented approach.
• Experience in IP administration or patent formalities is advantageous.
• Excellent analytical, organisational and time management skills.
• Ability to produce high-quality work efficiently and meet strict deadlines.
• Ability to work independently while also contributing effectively as part of a collaborative team.

We are large enough to offer strong career development prospects, yet small enough to provide a friendly and supportive working environment where individuals are recognised and valued.

Benefits include a 34-hour working week (Monday to Friday), agile working arrangements, annual salary reviews, 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays, a holiday purchase scheme, salary exchange options, life assurance, a healthcare cash plan and wellbeing app, group income protection, long service milestones, social events, seasonal vouchers, and charity initiatives.

If you are highly organised, motivated to build a career in intellectual property, and looking to join a supportive and professional environment, we would be pleased to hear from you.
