Job summary

Intellectual property (IP) is integral to all our lives. The IP system incentivises the innovation and creativity which drives economic growth and helps society benefit from new ideas and artistic works. The Intellectual Property Office (IPO) is responsible for the policy and operational aspects of IP rights, including patents, trade marks, designs, copyright and tribunal functions. It is also responsible for educating innovators and consumers about IP rights and responsibilities and supports the enforcement of IP rights. The IPO is an executive agency of the Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology (DSIT).

Access to finance is a key part of the Government’s Innovation Strategy and the UK's Science and Technology Framework, published in March 2023. Having access to adequate financing affects every stage of the innovation cycle from idea creation to commercialisation, expansion, and long-term business sustainability. Innovative and creative businesses, especially SMEs, can sometimes find it difficult to leverage their existing or potential intangible assets to unlock funding, particularly compared to more conventional tangible assets. This topical and high-profile role will focus on improving access to IP-backed finance, ensuring businesses are able to access the right type of finance at the right time and support innovative companies to scale-up.

The role will be in the IP in Regulation and Finance Team, which sits in the Business and International Policy (BIP) Directorate. Duties are likely to evolve for this high-profile role which operates in an emerging area of policy interest for the IPO.

The role will have a strong cross-Government and industry dimension. Growth in knowledge economies and an awareness that intangible assets such as IP need to better understood and recognised, is also driving significant international interest.

Working location

This role will be carried out in-line with IPO Hybrid working arrangements where staff are currently expected to attend the office 1 day per week, or equivalent if part-time, on-site at our Newport or London office

Job description

The role will cover a diverse portfolio of workstreams related to IP-backed finance, including investment, IP insurance, accountancy standards, and lending. The post-holder will need to work proactively across Government in formulating policy; confidently engaging international partners, industry, and civil society organisations in the process.

**Main duties will include**:
Develop a clear strategy on IP-backed finance, working across the IPO and partners in Government to gather evidence and formulate policy.
Develop and deliver a stakeholder engagement plan, building strong relationships with key industry and civil society organisations to ensure a range of interests are considered.
Represent the IPO at international fora, bilateral engagements, and other external engagements.
Produce and oversee production of clear, coherent, and strategically grounded submissions, briefings, and policy papers.
Coordinate other work in the IP and Regulation space (competition, procurement, tax), as required.
Role model leadership within the Directorate.
