About Us
Dyson is a global technology company with a unique philosophy - to solve problems that others ignore. It transforms every category it enters with radical and iconic re-inventions that work, perform and look very different. Today, Dyson offers products across a wide range of areas, including audio, floorcare, air purification, robotics, haircare (including formulations), lighting and hand drying. But it doesn’t stop there; Dyson continues to expand into new areas.
IP is vital to Dyson as it underpins the company’s commitment to innovation and competitive advantage. By protecting Dyson’s innovation and product design, IP ensures that Dyson’s significant investment in research and development is safeguarded from imitation and misuse. This protection enables Dyson to maintain its leadership in cutting-edge products, supports market growth, and fosters consumer trust in the originality and quality of Dyson products.
About The Role
We have new roles within the IP department. Working closely with Research, Design and Development (RDD), you’ll be responsible for managing IP risks and opportunities, and for delivering strategic value and legal advice. You’ll be heavily involved in supporting exciting new technologies and products, which span a diverse range of categories.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
