Your Role:

You will play a key role in driving revenue, improving operational efficiency, and maximizing the value of the company's intellectual property portfolio.

Accuracy is a must. You will frequently work with Excel, Alliant, LEDOX, SharePoint, DocuSign, SAP, and Oracle to accomplish your projects.
