  • Support corporate governance, intellectual property, and Legal function leadership, including IP-related contract terms, confidentiality, open-source software use, board materials, delegated authorities, Legal policies, and representation in senior leadership meetings.
  • Develop training, playbooks, and process improvements, including use of AI to enhance legal workflows, and supervise the SCIEX Paralegal.


The essential requirements of the job include:
  • 7+ years as a licensed U.S. attorney with experience in a nationally recognized law firm and in-house (life sciences preferred); global experience a plus.
  • Excellent academic credentials and active U.S. Bar membership in good standing.
