IP Legal Counsel at Joom

Joom Group is an international tech-centric group of e-commerce companies founded in 2016 in Latvia. We are here to transform the largest industry in the world, global trade, making it more transparent, efficient, and technology-driven.

Today, Joom Group brings together the following businesses:

• Joom, a platform for shopping from all over the world;
• JoomPro, the first end-to-end cross-border B2B marketplace, with successful operations in Brazil and plans to expand to other markets;
• JoomPulse, data platform that provides analytics and recommendations for marketplace sellers;
• and Onfy, a pharmaceutical marketplace in Germany.

Joom Group’s offices are located in China, Brazil, Portugal, Latvia, and Germany, with headquarters in Lisbon, Portugal. We work as one international team, sharing knowledge and collaborating across countries, businesses, and products.

We are looking for an IP Counsel to take full ownership of intellectual property matters across Joom’s marketplace and support IP in other Joom products. This is a hands-on negotiation, enforcement, and advisory role — not a solely portfolio management position.

Responsibilities:

• Handle escalated IP infringement claims from rights holders (trademarks, designs, copyright): assess each claim and own the outcome — removal, settlement, or defence;
• Manage pre-litigation and court proceedings in the EU, instructing and working with external counsel;
• Build and maintain IP enforcement workflows together with moderation and product teams; ensure court orders and rights holder demands are implemented on the platform;
• Advise the business on merchant authorisation, assortment risks, and the platform’s intermediary status;
• Manage the group’s IP asset portfolio: identifying, recording, and registering internally created IP (TM, software) where legally or fiscally relevant;
• Review and negotiate commercial agreements (SaaS, NDA, outstaffing) with EU and US counterparties;
• Support privacy matters across Joom products.
