Siemens Plc is a global technology leader committed to shaping a sustainable future. For over 175 years, we have driven innovation in electrification, automation, and digitalisation. Our mission is to transform the everyday and improve lives worldwide. 

We have a new opening for an IP Counsel to join our team which is small, but growing, and this position is a key part of enabling that growth in our digital businesses.  This could be anything from system-on-chip applications to modelling to EV charging to railway signalling.  We are looking for someone who is looking to expand their experience and willing to engage directly with our fantastic and growing local client-base from across all Siemens Core in UK&I.  

We support qualification as, and further development for, Chartered Patent Attorneys and European Patent Attorneys and encourage broader legal training both in-house and externally. We have a growth culture here at Siemens and will actively support you in determining the direction you would like your career to go.

Siemens recognise that building a diverse workforce is critical to the success of our business. We strongly encourage applications from a diverse talent pool and welcome the opportunity to discuss flexibility requirements and workplace adjustments with all our applicants. See our flexibility culture here.   The role may be 100% home-based or hybrid home/office, but you will be expected to travel to visit clients where needed.
 
You’ll create impact by 
  • Act as the primary contact for IP matters, providing expert advice across all levels of the business.
  • Draft and prosecute patent applications in-house, ensuring strong protection for Siemens innovations.
  • Support product development by mitigating third-party IP risks and defining IP strategies aligned with market goals.
  • Identify opportunities to protect innovation and collaborate with internal teams and external partners to secure strategic IP rights.
  • Engage with stakeholders to develop and manage IP portfolios, using IP as a tool for business growth.
  • Promote a culture of innovation by working closely with sales, engineering, and business development teams.
  • Advise on a range of IP topics, including patents, trade secrets, licensing, and copyright, across diverse digital technologies.
  • Join a global community of IP professionals and contribute to Siemens’ innovation leadership.

What We’re Looking For:
  • Progressing toward qualification as a European Patent Attorney (and ideally UK Patent Attorney), with experience in software and digital innovations.
  • Skilled in drafting and prosecuting patent applications independently or under supervision.
  • Ability to communicate complex technical and legal topics clearly to diverse audiences.
  • Proven experience influencing cross-functional teams and advising stakeholders across technologies.
  • Highly motivated, proactive, and eager to take initiative within a collaborative and supportive team.
What can we offer? 
  • Performance-Based Bonus: Enjoy an annual bonus linked to the company's performance 
  • Hybrid Working: Achieve a healthy work-life balance with our hybrid working arrangements 
  • Pension Plan: Secure your future with our generous pension scheme, with employer contributions up to 10%. 
  • Time Off: Recharge with 26 days of annual leave (plus bank holidays), and the option to buy or sell an additional 5 days. 
We are fully committed to providing equal opportunities and building an inclusive workplace where a broad range of backgrounds and perspectives thrive. We embrace the many ways people think, learn, and experience the world—because we know that diverse minds drive innovation. So that we can support you to be your best during the application and interview process, please let us know if you have any specific requirements.
