About the position
Höganäs is the world leader on the market for iron and metal powders. Our vision is to inspire industry to make more with less. By utilising the endless opportunities of our metal powders, we know that we can improve efficiency and lead a wave of change for the better. With people at every level of our organization dedicated to redefining what is possible, we continue make new breakthroughs. Höganäs is enjoying strong growth in new markets and with this evolution towards sustainable and renewable industries, the IP function needs to take a more pro-active stance in providing business-relevant IP advice.

This role is a critical position to our future development of the IP function, the patent capital, and for defending the patent portfolio against challenges in a competitive and evolving environment. We look to you to take an independent and autonomous role in being the voice for our IP Group; to champion IP throughout the organisation, as you help to raise the profile of IP across the various stakeholder groups, locally and worldwide. You will work in harmony with your peers, in helping to communicate and establish an patent-centric culture and you will be active across the full value chain of the organisation.

Your profile
Your academic qualification will be within Chemistry or a related degree. Your academic experience will have provided you with a broad base of scientific knowledge on which you have built your patent skills. You will be either a qualified European Patent Attorney or a part-qualified attorney with at least 3 years in the profession. You will come to the position with a background of working in-house or private practice - if the latter, then you would need to demonstrate experience of managing direct clients. Your experience of IP will be equally broad and will have touched most aspects of the patent life cycle, with a strong foundation in substantive patent matters. This will help better position you as the partner, concerning not only external stakeholder expectation but also internal customers
