We are AI Native

We are building an AI native company where AI is an integral part of how we build and operate. AI tool usage during interviews varies by role. You may be asked to demonstrate proficiency with AI tools, discuss how you leverage AI, or complete interview exercises without AI assistance. Your Recruiter will provide clear guidance as you move through the interview process.

Undisclosed use of AI not previously discussed with or approved by your Recruiter may impact your candidacy.

## About The Team

This Legal team partners across every function at Life360 to provide client-focused legal services and advice that enable growth and efficiency for the Company’s consumer software and hardware business lines, as well as its new advertising initiatives. We collaborate closely with several teams, including Ads, Finance, Product, Privacy, Engineering, and Devices.

## About the Job

We are seeking a business-oriented intellectual property attorney with 5+ years of experience in IP portfolio management and transactional work to join our expanding team. This is an exciting opportunity to work closely with teams across Life360 to support a high-growth phase for the Life360 family of consumer mobile software applications and hardware devices, including Tile and Pet GPS.

In this position, you will be the first dedicated IP counsel at Life360 and help shape IP strategy for our category-leading consumer business. This position offers the opportunity to apply and further develop your skills across a variety of business needs. You will be the in-house attorney responsible for managing Life360’s patent and trademark portfolios, including directing outside legal service providers, leading new IP initiatives, and providing advice on open source. In addition, you will support the commercial legal team by negotiating and drafting commercial agreements that pertain to the development and licensing of intellectual property, and you will support the corporate development team with IP M&A review and analysis as needed. Also, you will support the social media and creative team by reviewing promotional materials for compliance.
