Online Brand Protection Analyst

at  Corsearch

Do you get excited when hearing about trademarks and brand protection news? YES?! So do we! At Corsearch, there’s no pushing trademark solutions and brand protection from our thoughts. We’re thinking about coined trademarks in the car, a detailed design search over lunch, counterfeits while sitting with the in-laws, and anti-piracy while working out
We are a mission-led company, driven by a passion for making the world better and safer for our brand customers and their consumers. It’s what we do. And people come to Corsearch to be challenged, developed, supported, and valued

THE ROLE

In this role, you will report to the Brand Protection Client Delivery Manager.
You will work closely with the Client Delivery Manager and collaborate with your colleagues to provide one of our largest and most advanced customers with strategic support in protecting its world-famous brands online.
Together with various brand owners, you will be working towards a safe online environment in which the goal is to get rid of all IP infringements that take place around the world. By doing so, you will also make sure that creativity is rewarded, and consumers are protected from illegal and dangerous products.
