What you would do as our Brand Portfolio Manager

As a Brand Portfolio Manager at ASSA ABLOY, you are a key partner to the business, providing strategic support and guidance in the management and development of the division’s brand-related intellectual assets. This includes trademarks, designs, domain names, and other elements that form the foundation of the company’s brand identity. You are responsible for maintaining and evolving these portfolios to reflect actual brand usage, ensuring they remain relevant, protected, and aligned with business objectives. A central part of the role involves overseeing brand watches—such as monitoring trademarks and domain names—and taking the lead in initiating and managing actions when justified by business needs. Through your expertise, you help safeguard and strengthen the company’s brand value across all markets.

You will report to the Head of Intellectual Property.

You would also:

• Act as the link between marketing, business, and legal teams to maximize the value and impact of brand asset applications, registrations, and legal actions.

• Support the business in identifying and evaluating potential third-party misuse of brand assets and manage related opposition and infringement cases.

• Oversee the day-to-day administration and strategic management of the brand asset portfolio, including audits and pruning processes.

• Coordinate external legal specialists and service providers to ensure effective protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights.

• Represent the division in brand-related IP matters and collaborate with other divisions and Group Brand IP on cross-functional initiatives.

The skills and experience you need

We are looking for someone who:

• at least five years of experience working independently as a trademark administrator or paralegal, preferably within industry or an IP law firm.

• has strong knowledge of trademark and design law in key global markets, along with an understanding of domain name registration practices.

• is proficient in using brand IP databases and internal IP management systems (e.g. Ipendo), as well as MS Office and digital communication tools like Microsoft Teams.

• has relevant education and professional background in brand-related IP management; a law degree is considered a merit.

• is fluent in English at a high professional level; proficiency in German and/or Swedish is an advantage.

The Brand Portfolio Manager should demonstrate strong interpersonal and communication skills, with an open and inclusive attitude that enables effective collaboration across different corporate functions, cultures, and countries. Success in the role requires well-developed cooperation skills, as well as the ability to understand and align with diverse perspectives within the organization. The ideal candidate is self-motivated, driven, and takes initiative, with a proactive mindset and the ability to prioritize tasks effectively in a dynamic and cross-functional environment.
