The Manager will support the effective stewardship of Haleon s global patent portfolio by ensuring high standards of data integrity, deadline compliance, and operational accuracy across the patent lifecycle.

- Coordinate patent prosecution and maintenance activities with external counsel, ensuring timely submissions and error-free documentation.
- Manage entries in the patent docketing system (e.g., Anaqua), ensuring completeness, accuracy, and traceability of all patent-related actions.
- Conduct periodic audits of docketed data, identifying gaps, inconsistencies, or risks and driving remediation.
- Generate routine and ad hoc portfolio status reports for legal, R&D, regulatory, and business stakeholders.
- Maintain structured, compliant document repositories for patent filings, PoAs, assignments, and related legal documentation.
- Support compliance reviews and internal controls for IP operations, including billing checks and vendor coordination.
- Liaise with global teams to ensure consistent adoption of IP operations standards and escalation protocols.
- Support U.S. patent prosecution administration, including Patent Center correspondence monitoring, filing formality review, assignment and inventor documentation, and coordination of U.S. filing activities with outside counsel.
- Serve as a point of contact for internal teams (Legal, R&D, and Operations) regarding patent-related data, processes, and reporting.
- Partner with external counsel across jurisdictions to ensure operational accuracy, clear communication, and alignment on deadlines.
- Support invoice processing and reconciliation for patent-related expenses.
Essential:
- Graduate degree in any discipline is mandatory.
- IP-relevant certifications (e.g., in intellectual property law, paralegal studies) are advantageous.
- Up to 6 years of experience in patent operations or IP lifecycle management.
- Experience with IP docketing systems (e.g., Anaqua), USPTO Patent Center, and working with external counsel would be an added advantage.
Preferred:
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, both written and oral.
- High attention to detail, organisational skills, and the ability to prioritize and manage multiple tasks to strict deadlines.
- Collaborative approach, with proven ability to work effectively across legal, operations, and finance teams.
- Proactive problem-solving and adaptability in a dynamic, deadline-driven environment.
- Proficiency in managing IP docketing systems (e.g., Anaqua), document management systems, and basic reporting tools (such as Excel).
- Good understanding of IP data integrity, renewals management, and invoice/billing processes.
- Ability to generate and interpret reports on IP portfolio status and deadlines.
- Familiarity with U.S. patent prosecution processes, including USPTO correspondence, patent filings, assignment recordation, and patent lifecycle administration.
