Job Posting: U.S. Patent and Trademark Office

The federal agency that issues patents and registers trademarks is hiring another Senior Associate Ombudsman. Based in Alexandria, Virginia, the position will report to Chief Ombudsman Paul Sotoudeh and work alongside Senior Associate Ombuds Andrea Brown and Nellie Haddad. The job does require living in the DC area (and USPTO can’t pay for relocation), but does allow for three days per week of telework.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens and have significant relevant experience, including ADR techniques and processes used by Ombuds. The GS-14 position pays $139,395 to $181,216 per year and applications are due by October 23, 2024. (USA Jobs: all U.S. citizens; Federal employee and status candidates.)
