Brand protect Manager

We are looking for an Brand protect Manager to lead our online brand protection practice.
This is a management role at the intersection of intellectual property, copyright, legal operations, domain takedown, team management, and process automation. The main goal is to build and manage a scalable process for removing brand-abusing domains.
This is not a classic in-house legal role. We need a person who can manage cases, lead a team, improve processes, control quality, and turn legal/operational workflows into clear systems.

Responsibilities

Manage the full domain takedown process from case creation to final result.
Lead a team of 4–5 specialists: assign tasks, review work quality, control deadlines, and improve performance.
Prepare, review, and improve complaints related to copyright, trademark.
Communicate or supervise communication with third-paries providers.
Analyze domain cases together with the team.
Build and improve internal SOPs, complaint templates, checklists, escalation routes, and quality-control processes.
Create clear tasks for automation.
Work with product/development teams to improve internal tools and reduce manual work.
Track key metrics: processed domains, successful removals, response time, removal time, pending cases, team productivity, and complaint quality.
Identify bottlenecks in the process and improve the system until it becomes predictable and scalable.

Requirements

Legal background & corresponding experience in intellectual property, copyright, trademark, brand protection, legal operations, DMCA, or online enforcement.
Experience managing a small team or coordinating legal/operational workflows.
Understanding of how hosting providers, registrars, CDN providers, and abuse departments process complaints.
Strong written English for legal complaints and business communication.
Ability to work with technical domain data and basic website analysis.
Strong organizational and process-management skills.
Ability to create clear instructions, templates, SOPs, and automation tasks.
Experience working with developers, product managers, CRM systems, trackers, or internal automation tools.
Attention to detail and ability to work with high-volume cases.
Result-oriented mindset: focus on removals, speed, quality, and team efficiency.
Will be a plus
Experience with domain takedowns, anti-piracy, iGaming, affiliate marketing, SEO, or online brand protection.
What we expect from this role
A clear and controlled domain removal process.
A well-managed team with measurable results.
Higher success rate of domain removals.
Faster processing and escalation of cases.
Better complaint quality and evidence preparation.
Improved internal templates, workflows, and automation logic.
Less manual chaos, more structured legal operations.
This role is not for you if
You want a purely advisory legal role without operational responsibility.
You do not want to manage people and processes.
You are not comfortable working with technical domain data.
You are not ready to work with automation, trackers, SOPs, and measurable KPIs.
