Mistral is a full-stack AI company providing frontier models, developer tools, applications, and compute infrastructure. They partner with enterprises across finance, manufacturing, defense, healthcare, and the public sector to co-create customized AI systems.
As an IP Rights Manager (Legal Operations Specialist – Data Licensing), you will own the end-to-end processes that enable Mistral to license content and data efficiently while maintaining legal compliance. This role bridges legal analysis and operational execution, turning complex agreements into repeatable workflows and automated systems.
Key responsibilities include:
- Clearing inbound data usage requests by researching rights status, scope, obligations, and restrictions before data enters systems
- Reviewing data-related agreements and codifying key terms into structured metadata, maintaining template libraries alongside the Legal team
- Assessing whether specific AI use cases fall within third-party agreement scope and recommending contract amendments
- Building and maintaining a central database as the single source of truth for all signed data-related agreements
- Tracking and managing compliance with ongoing obligations (permitted uses, confidentiality, re-use rights), automating reporting, and administering master licensing partnerships
- Verifying provenance, ownership, and consent for acquired data, identifying obligations requiring active monitoring
- Monitoring that Mistral clients and partners stay within granted rights, operating the approval system that enforces legal restrictions
- Designing and running AI-powered workflows for contract review assistance, obligation extraction, and renewal alerts
You will sit at the intersection of copyright, data protection, and AI, ensuring compliance with EU and US law while respecting third-party rights and enforcing contractual restrictions. Your impact will be visible in smoother data flows, clearer rights status, and reliable records for every data agreement.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in law, publishing, information science, business, or related field
- 2–5 years of experience in copyright, permissions, licensing, legal operations, or contract administration, ideally in an AI, tech, or data-driven environment
- Working knowledge of EU and US copyright law and contract administration, with demonstrated ability to interpret contracts independently
- Meticulous attention to detail and discretion with confidential contracts, combined with strong project-management skills
- Clear, direct communication and initiative to anticipate needs through ambiguity
- Legal-ops mindset: ability to turn legal analysis into repeatable, scalable processes rather than handling one-off reviews
- Comfort building agentic AI workflows in complex enterprise environments; AI power user experience, ideally with experience setting up such workflows in a legal team
- Additional depth in formal legal training, CLM platforms (e.g., Ironclad), publishing-house contracts, or European languages (French, German, Spanish, etc.) is welcome
