## About the role

We are seeking a commercially minded Product Counsel to join Beacon’s legal team as our dedicated product and IP specialist. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of law, technology, and product strategy: you will be the primary legal partner to Beacon and its portfolio’s product and engineering functions — advising on new product features and development across our portfolio in different industries, protecting Beacon’s intellectual property, and managing the full spectrum of product-related legal matters...

- 5–7 years of product, technology, and IP law experience at a top-tier law firm, or 4–5 years of in-house product and IP counsel experience at a technology company
- Broad product law experience spanning IP strategy and portfolio management, software and SaaS licensing, open source compliance, and product-facing commercial agreements
- Broad regulatory experience across multiple industries, with the ability to quickly come up to speed on sector-specific legal frameworks and advise product teams on compliance obligations in verticals outside of mainstream consumer technology
- Experience advising on AI/ML products and familiarity with the evolving legal landscape around training data rights, and AI regulation is a strong plus
- Strong background in patent strategy and prosecution management, trademark portfolio oversight, and IP ownership and licensing structures
