Isomorphic Labs
London, United Kingdom
Isomorphic Labs is a new Alphabet company that is reimagining drug discovery through a computational- and AI-first approach.
We are on a mission to accelerate the speed, increase the efficacy and lower the cost of drug discovery. You'll be working at the cutting edge of the new era of 'digital biology' to deliver a transformative social impact for the benefit of millions of people.
Come and be part of a multi-disciplinary team driving groundbreaking innovation and play a meaningful role in contributing towards us achieving our ambitious goals, while being a part of an inspiring, collaborative and entrepreneurial culture.
This position offers an amazing opportunity to formulate and execute a strategic vision to advance and protect the organisation’s current and future intellectual property estate.
Reporting to the General Counsel, as the Head of IP you will lead intellectual property strategy for Isomorphic Labs, balancing strategic planning with practical execution. You will collaborate with researchers and business leaders across the organisation, using your knowledge and influencing skills to shape how we build and develop the business from an IP perspective. You will also partner with other members of the Alphabet ecosystem as a representative of Isomorphic Labs.
You will need to utilise your previous experience and show initiative in order to fully carve out your contribution. The Head of IP will work in partnership with the IsoLegal team and various researchers and senior leaders across business functions to design, develop and drive implementation of intellectual property strategy in alignment with the organisation’s strategic directives. Key responsibilities of the position include identifying and pursuing strategies to protect innovation in IsoLabs’ research and development activities (including AI/ML as well as small molecule and biologic therapeutic innovations), effectively educating on IP matters, communicating IP guidance, and managing the Company’s intellectual property affairs (e.g., client counselling, licensing transactions, patent preparation and procurement, opinion work, IP disputes and litigation, due diligence and competitive intelligence, IP budgeting, copyright and trademark matters).
What does it take to be successful at IsoLabs? It's not about finding people who think and act in the same way, but we do have some shared values:
Thoughtful
Thoughtful at Iso is about curiosity, creativity and care. It is about good people doing good, rigorous and future-making science every single day.
Brave
Brave at Iso is about fearlessness, but it’s also about initiative and integrity. The scale of the challenge demands nothing less.
Determined
Determined at Iso is the way we pursue our goal. It’s a confidence in our hypothesis, as well as the urgency and agility needed to deliver on it. Because disease won’t wait, so neither should we.
In this together
Together at Iso is about connection, collaboration across fields and catalytic relationships. It’s knowing that transformation is a group project, and remembering that what we’re doing will have a real impact on real people everywhere.
We realise that to be successful we need our teams to reflect and represent the populations we are striving to serve. We’re working to build a supportive and inclusive environment where collaboration is encouraged and learning is shared. We value diversity of experience, knowledge, backgrounds and perspectives and harness these qualities to create extraordinary impact.
We are committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of sex, race, religion or belief, ethnic or national origin, disability, age, citizenship, marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy or related condition (including breastfeeding) or any other basis protected by applicable law. If you have a disability or additional need that requires accommodation, please do not hesitate to let us know.
It’s hugely important for us to be able to share knowledge and establish relationships with each other, and we find it easier to do this if we spend time together in person. This is why we’ve decided to follow a hybrid model, and for full time positions we would require you to be able to come into the office 3 days a week (currently Tue, Wed, and one other day depending on which team you’re in). For part time positions this may vary. As an equal opportunities employer we are committed to building an equal and inclusive team. If you have additional needs that would prevent you from following this hybrid approach, we’d be happy to talk through these if you’re selected for an initial screening call.
Please note that when you submit an application, your data will be processed in line with our privacy policy.
