POET is seeking a Senior Intellectual Property Counsel to work in its Sioux Falls, South Dakota office. The
Senior Intellectual Property Counsel is the primary legal advisor to our
management team on all IP matters (including patents, trademarks, copyright, and
licensing) and an integral contributor to business and legal strategy.
Who We Seek
Are you as exceptional as a business person as you are an IP lawyer? Are you as
creative and savvy at negotiating agreements as you are at navigating the patent
landscape and mitigating risk? Do you love teaching in plain English the
essential elements of your very technical jargon to scientists and business
executives alike? Do you competitively improve things and get exasperated with
mediocrity? Do you thrive on setting bold targets, tracking performance, and
then beating those goals? Do you have humility enough to fervently serve your
teammates?
If you honestly answered an emphatic, “Yes!” to all of these questions,
then we would be pleased to hear from you. Innovation in the biorefining space
is high as companies race to capture the growing demand for renewable energy.
The patent issues in this space are broad, technically challenging, and a
strategic imperative for POET.

Who We Are
At POET, we are passionate about reducing our country’s reliance on foreign
energy, lifting economies by revitalizing global agriculture, and providing a
cleaner, affordable alternative to fossil fuels. We also believe in creativity
from common sense. Our engineers and scientists have a relentless focus on
developing technologies for more efficient biofuel production with the slightest
environmental footprint. By integrating that technology development with our
expertise in construction, operations, risk management, and marketing, we’ve
built a network of 27 biorefineries in seven states that each year produces in
excess of 1.6 billion gallons of ethanol, 9 billion pounds of high protein
animal feed, and thousands of pounds of bio-based oils and lubricants. We aim
to revolutionize the worldwide development, production, and marketing of
biorefined products.
At POET Legal, our vision is to become the premier legal department among
companies of our size. Our nimble team runs like a business, with a strategy
and differentiated value proposition built around an intimate knowledge of our
company and the needs of our business team.
