This is a unique opportunity to join Verkada’s legal team as its first and top intellectual property and litigation counsel. You will own both Verkada’s global patent program and its litigation and regulatory docket, responsible for building and protecting its intellectual property portfolios (with a focus on patents) as well as for overseeing all litigation and regulatory matters. You will get to own and build out Verkada’s Global Patent Program from the ground up and make an impact from day one. This is a highly collaborative role in which you will work with various cross functional teams across the organization to manage and protect the company’s intellectual property.
