Join Clarivate as a Technical Consultant in Korea and become a trusted advisor to clients using IPfolio, our Salesforce-based intellectual property management solution. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys combining technical problem-solving, client communication, and business process improvement. You will work closely with Korean clients while collaborating with a global team across APAC, Europe, and North America.

This is a strong opportunity for a bilingual Korean-English technical professional seeking to build expertise in enterprise SaaS, Salesforce configuration, and the intellectual property domain. You will help clients get more value from IPfolio, solve practical system challenges, and contribute to the success of a growing product used by global IP teams. Due to legal requirements, this position is restricted to Korean citizens living in Korea.

About You – experience, education, skills, and accomplishments

  • 2–3+ years of experience in a Technical Consultant, Application Support, SaaS Implementation, Salesforce Administrator, or similar client-facing technical role

  • Experience translating client requirements into practical system configuration, troubleshooting steps, or process improvements
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience in information systems, computer science, business, engineering, or a related field
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in Korean and English, with confidence working with both local clients and global colleagues

  • Experience supporting or configuring enterprise SaaS applications for corporate clients
  • Knowledge of intellectual property processes, including patents, trademarks, docketing, renewals, or portfolio management
  • Experience with IP management systems or legal technology platforms
  • Basic SQL knowledge or experience investigating data-related issues
  • Interest in AI, automation, analytics, or other emerging technologies that improve client service and operational efficiency
  • Japanese or Chinese language skills, especially if you have worked with regional clients across APAC

What will you be doing in this role?

  • Act as a primary technical contact for Korea-based clients using IPfolio, helping them resolve issues and make effective use of the platform
  • Analyze client questions, reported issues, and configuration requests, then recommend clear and practical solutions
  • Configure standard IPfolio and Salesforce functionality using declarative tools such as fields, layouts, workflows, permissions, reports, and related settings
  • Troubleshoot system behavior, document findings, and coordinate with product, engineering, implementation, and support teams when deeper investigation is needed
  • Guide clients through resolutions in a clear, professional, and culturally appropriate way in both Korean and English
  • Share knowledge, improve internal documentation, and contribute to consistent service quality across our global IPfolio Premium Services team
