At Wynnes, we know that great Intellectual Property work isn't only about the big ideas. It’s about getting the little details right. That’s why we are looking for an IP Administrator who takes genuine pride in the quality and accuracy of their work.

Wynnes Patent & Trade Mark Attorneys is a boutique intellectual property firm based in Brisbane, assisting Australian and international clients with patents, trade marks and designs.

We're looking for someone who is organised, switched on and detail-focused to become an important part of our growing administration team.

Here's the catch, you don't need to know too much or have Intellectual Property experience, because we'll teach you. What we're looking for is the right person with the right mindset. At Wynnes, we invest in our people and support development from within, so for someone who wants to learn and grow, this role has the potential to become much more than an administration position.

The Opportunity:

This is a position where you'll work closely with our Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys and experienced administration team across Australian and international intellectual property matters. You'll be involved in the day-to-day administration of patents, trade marks and designs, while also helping keep the broader Wynnes office running smoothly.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Preparing client correspondence, reporting letters, invoices and supporting documentation;

- Corresponding with clients, overseas Associates and intellectual property offices;

- Working collaboratively with our Attorneys and administration team;

- Maintaining accurate client and matter information across our systems;

- Monitoring tasks, correspondence and important deadlines;

- Providing reception and general office administration support; and

- Managing incoming calls, emails and client enquiries;

About You:





We're not looking for someone who simply describes themselves as having “great attention to detail.” That's nice and all, but we're looking for someone who actually demonstrates it. And chances are, if that's you, it already shows in the way you work day to day. You're most likely someone who:

- Notices when something doesn't quite look right;

- Double-checks names, dates, numbers, recipients and attachments before pressing send;

- Takes ownership of a task and follows it through to completion;

- Keeps track of deadlines without needing repeated reminders;

- Can manage multiple priorities while maintaining accuracy;

- Reads instructions carefully and follows them completely;

- Asks questions when something is unclear rather than making assumptions;

- Takes feedback on board and applies it next time;

- Enjoys structure, systems, processes and keeping things organised;

- Communicates professionally and confidently;

- Takes pride in producing work that is accurate and complete; and

- Genuinely wants to learn and develop.

You'll ideally have previous experience in administration, qualified services, legal administration or another detail-focused environment.

And again, previous Intellectual Property experience isn't essential. We have an experienced team ready to teach you the IP side of the role. What we're looking for is someone who brings the organisation, care, initiative, and attention to detail that will allow them to thrive in it.

Why Work With Us?

Wynnes offers something a little different from the large corporate workplace.



We're not a cut-throat workplace, and we don't want to be. We're a firm where you'll actually know the people you're working with, understand how your work contributes to the bigger picture, and have the opportunity to build real knowledge within a specialised profession.

You'll receive:

- Training and support in intellectual property administration;

- Exposure to Australian and international patent, trade mark and design matters;

- The opportunity to work directly with experienced Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys;

- Genuine opportunities to develop your skills and grow within the firm;

- A supportive and collaborative team environment;

- A professional workplace without the layers and hierarchy of a large corporate firm; and

- A great office location in Bulimba, Brisbane.

And at Wynnes, you actually matter and we aren't just saying that because it sounds good in a job ad. Our culture is something we're genuinely proud of. We're a close team, we support one another, we celebrate the wins and we want the people who join Wynnes to feel like they're part of the firm, not simply another employee number.

If you're looking for somewhere you can learn, contribute, grow and genuinely become part of a team, we'd love to hear from you.

Please submit your resume and cover letter telling us a little about yourself, your experience and why you think you'd be a great fit for Wynnes.

One last thing...

Attention to detail is important to us, and we want to know you've actually read the ad. So, when submitting your application, please include the words “DETAILS MATTER” somewhere in your cover letter. We look forward to hearing from you.
