About the job
Revolutionizing Innovation - The traditional methods companies use to innovate are failing to keep pace with the rapid changes in today's world. A staggering 90% of the value of S&P 500 companies is intangible, largely comprised of intellectual property. Yet, R&D and IP teams often find themselves overwhelmed with manual tasks, spending excessive time navigating patents and paperwork instead of advancing their innovative efforts. At Ankar, we aim to change that.
Ankar is pioneering the AI operating system for innovation, transforming the way businesses create and safeguard their inventions. Our innovative platform streamlines the journey from idea generation to the establishment of robust intellectual property, powered by a suite of AI modules that include patent drafting, office action responses, and infringement detection.
We are at a pivotal moment in our growth:
Secured over $24M in funding from leading venture capitalists including Atomico, Index Ventures, Norrsken, Daphni, and notable angel investors such as the Founder of Hugging Face and the CEO of Datadog.
Collaborating with some of the most innovative companies in the world, including Fortune 500 giant L’Oréal and the prestigious law firm Vorys.
Expanding our exceptional team with experts from Palantir, Amazon, and BCG to address the enormous $1T+ innovation market. Our journey has just begun.
We are looking for passionate individuals who are eager to take ownership of ambitious projects, tackle complex and impactful challenges, and achieve the pinnacle of their career.
Your Role
We are seeking a proactive patent professional to serve as a bridge between product, engineering, and intellectual property. You will work closely with clients and internal teams to design, prototype, and deploy proofs of concept and novel products.

Collaborate with clients (in-house patent teams and law firms) to design and implement high-impact proofs of concept and product innovations.
Facilitate sessions with patent professionals to ensure effective adoption and demonstrable value delivery from our solutions.
Translate client feedback into actionable product requirements.
Identify emerging product opportunities through client interactions.
