At Notarize, we’re pulling the future closer, bringing industries like real estate, automotive, and financial services into the digital age. We’re the first company to complete a legal online notarization, online mortgage closing, online will, online auto sale, and countless other critical transactions. 

We’re proud to play an integral role for our customers -- from individuals to major enterprises -- in making life’s most important moments better. 

 

Our business has grown exponentially (over 600%!) in the past year. In September 2021 we came in at #114 on Inc.’s list of the 5000 fastest-growing companies in the nation. We raised an additional $130 million in Series D funding in March of this year -- backed by industry behemoths like Capital G/Google, Citi, and Wells Fargo -- and we recently announced a major strategic partnership with Adobe.

 

Notarize is the pioneer and market leader in Remote Online Notarization (RON), and we’re building the team that will operate a critical platform in tomorrow’s fully-remote economy. Come join us!

 

Notarize is proud to be a fully-distributed, remote-first team. Employees can work from anywhere in the United States -- all 50 states and D.C too.

  • Serve as the sole in-house counsel on the development, acquisition, and protection of intellectual property at Notarize
  • Implement and maintain an IP strategy, driving all IP-related activities including but not limited to trademarks, copyright, patents, and branding

  • Partner with outside counsel to draft and prosecute patent applications
  • Work closely with marketing to build and expand the Notarize brand, reviewing public-facing materials to ensure compliance with IP laws, including copyright and trademark issues
  • Team up with product, design, and engineering teams to drive and protect innovation

  • Previous hands-on experience with patent litigation and related IP disciplines, such as copyrights, trademarks, open source, and trade secrets
  • Prior experience partnering with in-house product, engineering, and marketing teams
  • Demonstrated ability to partner with internal and external resources to drive meaningful change and propel the company brand
  • Ability to function in a fast-paced and constantly evolving technology environment
  • Superior oral and written communication skills, with the ability to communicate clearly and effectively with senior leaders, external partners and internal staff
  • The ability to influence, build trust and drive results with business stakeholders across the organization
  • A highly-motivated and strategic mindset - a strong team player (no job is too small or too large) who is willing to take on additional responsibilities

Some of our benefits:

  • Competitive salaries & equity
  • Heavily subsidized medical, dental, and vision
  • 401k with 4% match
  • Unlimited PTO & flexible work schedules

  • Yes Before No: We are optimistic about our ability to change lives by transforming outmoded processes. We believe our efforts can create a better future, and it is our attitude that will allow us to pull that future closer.
  • Start With Why: We don't presume to understand the intentions of the people around us, whether coworkers or customers. We ask honest questions and listen to feedback in order to gain insight, build trust, and create memorable experiences. 
  • Stamp Together: We create a strong team and a welcoming workplace by valuing diverse perspectives. Every role in our organization is supported and valued equally, without regard to location or background.
