Location: Remote – US strongly preferred Hours: 10–20 hrs/week | Contract to start, potential to grow Compensation: $35–50/hour depending on experience, or monthly retainer aligned to ~15–20 hours/week 🧭 The Role We’re looking for a smart, systems-oriented legal ops consultant to help us build a clean, scalable, and sale-ready IP and brand protection infrastructure. This role is ideal for someone with U.S. legal experience who’s comfortable working across borders and can confidently lead global brand protection strategy while coordinating with local experts as needed. You won’t be expected to handle international filings solo — but you will be the strategic lead for our trademarks, enforcement, and IP structure. If you’ve managed brand protection in ecommerce, especially for a company with international sales, this could be a great fit. 🧩 What You’ll Own This is a project-based role with clear priorities — and potential to evolve into a long-term strategic relationship. In the first 3–6 months, you’ll: • Audit and organize our existing trademarks across core markets • Oversee new filings and transfers (via local counsel where needed) • Set up platform brand protection systems (Amazon, TikTok, Walmart, Meta) • Define an enforcement process and manage takedowns • Establish a clean, centralized IP documentation system • Coordinate NDAs and contracts to protect IP in creator/freelancer relationships • Build a scalable trademark decision process for future product launches 🚀 Why This Role Matters We’re growing fast across multiple markets — with increasing visibility and rising risks of copycats and IP confusion. We’ve seen enough early traction to know it’s time to protect what we’ve built, both for peace of mind now and for long-term valuation. This role is core to that strategy. ✅ You Might Be a Fit If You… • Have experience managing U.S. trademarks and are comfortable working across jurisdictions • Have set up or managed Brand Registry on Amazon, TikTok, or similar platforms • Understand ecommerce and the speed at which consumer brands need to act • Are comfortable owning strategy, not just execution • Know when to call in local experts — and how to keep them on track • Are operationally minded — you don’t just file, you build structure • Have worked in DTC, skincare, or consumer brands (a plus) • Are a clear communicator, organized, and values-driven 🌍 Location & Time Zones We’re open to candidates globally, but our preference is someone in the U.S. or with strong U.S. legal experience, who isn’t afraid of a cross-border structure (with entities in Switzerland and the U.S., and growing IP assets in multiple markets). Experience working across time zones and collaborating async is a must. 📩 How to Apply Please email leonie@oyoskincare.com with the subject line: IP Role – [Your Name] – Legal Ops + Brand Protection Include: • A Loom video (3 minutes max) introducing yourself and sharing 3 reasons why you're a great fit • Your resume or LinkedIn • Your responses to the following: ✍️ Screening Questions 1.
