- Work with internal stakeholders (operations, product, finance, HR, compliance) to embed legal requirements into processes and SOPs, reducing regulatory and litigation risk.
Intellectual property rights (IPR) management
- Collaborate closely with product and marketing teams to identify patentable ideas and protect new features and innovations, where relevant to the travel-tech model.
