Role Description

  • We are seeking a highly analytical and commercially minded senior IP professional to execute and manage our global intellectual property strategy.
  • This role is not a traditional legal or patent prosecution role. The ideal candidate combines strong knowledge of energy and geothermal markets, with technical fluency in drilling or geothermal energy systems, and a practical understanding of intellectual property law and strategy.
  • Reporting directly to the VP, Legal and indirectly to the Chief Technology and Operating Officer.

Key Responsibilities Portfolio Development

  • Evaluate, strengthen, and expand the company’s global IP portfolio in alignment with business and technology strategy
  • Identify opportunities for new patent filings, continuations, defensive publications, trade secrets, and other forms of protection
  • Analyze gaps, risks, and white space opportunities within the existing portfolio
  • Develop strategic recommendations to fortify the company’s long term IP moat
  • Support invention harvesting and translate technical innovation into protectable IP opportunities
  • Help define filing priorities based on technical differentiation, market opportunity, and competitive dynamics

Key Responsibilities Cross Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with engineering and technical teams to understand evolving technologies and innovation roadmaps
  • Participate in technical discussions related to closed loop geothermal systems, drilling technologies, reservoir engineering, thermodynamics, and related innovations
  • Coordinate with commercialization, finance, and leadership teams to align IP activities with broader business priorities
  • Act as a bridge between technical teams and external IP counsel

Key Responsibilities Market Intelligence

  • Monitor geothermal, energy transition, drilling, subsurface, and adjacent technology markets for emerging trends and threats
  • Conduct competitor landscape analyses, focused on patent landscapes and technology positioning
  • Evaluate competitor IP portfolios and identify potential risks or strategic vulnerabilities
  • Assess market attractiveness and commercial relevance of IP opportunities
  • Support leadership with strategic insights on industry developments and competitive positioning

Key Responsibilities Portfolio Coordination & Operations

  • Coordinate global patent prosecution activities with external counsel
  • Manage IP related action items, deadlines, filing schedules, and strategic documentation
  • Maintain oversight of portfolio organization, reporting, and status tracking
  • Support IP budgeting, cash flow forecasting, and spend management
  • Ensure timely execution of prosecution, maintenance, and strategic review activities
  • Develop, implement, and continuously improve company wide governance processes for identifying new inventions, evaluating IP opportunities, prioritizing filings, and managing the company’s IP portfolio

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in engineering, geoscience, physics, energy systems, or a related technical discipline
  • Experience working with patents, intellectual property strategy, technology commercialization, innovation management or related fields
  • Understanding of energy technologies, industrial technologies, subsurface technologies, or other complex technical sectors
  • Experience in the geothermal industry is considered an asset but is not required
  • Strong analytical, problem solving, and critical thinking skills
  • Demonstrated ability to integrate technical, commercial, and intellectual property considerations into practical strategic recommendations
  • Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects, priorities, and timelines effectively
  • Experience collaborating with diverse stakeholders, including technical experts, business leaders, external partners, and legal professionals
  • Strong written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills
  • Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, cross functional environment and contribute to strategic decision making
  • Experience building or maturing intellectual property programs, including developing systems and processes for identifying, evaluating, and protecting inventions

What Success Looks Like

  • The company’s IP portfolio grows strategically and defensibly
  • Competitive and market risks are identified early and addressed proactively
  • Engineering innovations are effectively translated into high value IP assets
  • Internal IP coordination becomes efficient, predictable, and well governed
  • Leadership gains clear visibility into portfolio strategy, opportunities, costs, and risks
  • The company strengthens its long term competitive moat in closed loop geothermal technology

Ideal Candidate Profile

  • You are intellectually curious, technically fluent, commercially aware, and highly organized.
  • You enjoy thinking strategically about technology and competitive positioning, not just managing legal processes.
  • You can move comfortably between engineers, executives, and patent counsel, and you are energized by helping build a category defining technology company with a durable IP advantage.

Who is Eavor Technologies Inc.

  • Eavor (pronounced “Ever”) is a private company founded in 2017 to commercialize disruptive geothermal technology.
  • We leverage oil and gas technology, along with some proprietary solutions, to create the world’s first closed loop geothermal system.
  • Working with clients and partners, we are progressing a pipeline of commercial projects in Northern Europe, Canada, The United States, and Japan.

What We Bring To The Table

  • Competitive compensation package including upside opportunity
  • Comprehensive Benefits package which includes health, dental and life
  • Company sponsored Health Care Spending Account
  • Company sponsored RRSP matching program
  • Fast paced, fun, and collaborative working environment
  • A team invested in you both personally and professionally
  • New and freshly renovated office space including gym membership
  • The opportunity to change the world and be a part of the evolution of scalable, clean, baseload and dispatchable power
