Corporate Counsel

We're so happy you're here! Thank you for checking our job out and we hope to have the chance to meet you in our interview process!

Grüns is one of the fastest-growing consumer brands in the country, now part of Unilever's Wellbeing Collective, and we're hiring our second lawyer. You'll work directly with — and be mentored by—our General Counsel, a former Morrison & Foerster partner with more than a decade in consumer products, work alongside the principals and operators who built the company and are taking it to the next level, and you'll see more legal terrain in a year than many lawyers see in their entire careers: national retailer deals, creator and sponsorship agreements, litigation, advertising enforcement, brand protection, sweepstakes, privacy, IP, and whatever tomorrow brings.

This role owns the day-to-day legal work that keeps the business moving — contracts, litigation management, and advertising enforcement. You'll negotiate directly with counter parties, sit with Marketing, Retail, Ops, People, and Customer Experience while decisions get made, and build the systems a fast-moving legal function needs (and improve the ones that already exist). This seat is built to grow with the person in it.

And you won't be doing it alone: alongside the Grüns seat you'll have a working relationship with Unilever's commercial contracting, litigation, IP, privacy, and employment teams and the chance to partner with Unilever Wellbeing Legal — the ownership and pace of a company that’s still building, with the depth and network of one of the world's largest consumer companies within reach.

This role is part of our remote HQ! We have a fully remote, high-trust work environment - and also come together on a biannual basis for amazing off-sites where we can connect IRL.

• Breadth you can't get in most legal roles: contracts, litigation, IP, marketing, privacy, and employment in one seat, with real ownership of each
• Mentorship from a General Counsel who built this function from scratch and wants you to grow into more
• The best of both worlds: the pace, ownership, and direct access to business leaders of a company that's still building, with Unilever's platform, specialist depth, and global legal network behind it
• Authority from day one: you own your matters and negotiate directly with counter parties
• A bigger legal team than our headcount suggests:
  Unilever colleagues in commercial contracting, litigation, IP, privacy, and employment, plus Unilever Wellbeing Legal, to learn from, partner with, and call on
• Evaluated on impact, not hours: no billable hours and no timesheets — you're measured on your judgment, efficiency, productivity, and the value you add to the business

This is not a typical legal job, and it isn't for everyone. It's for a lawyer who is thirsting for more—more responsibility, more range, and more direct impact—earlier than most legal careers will offer it. If that's you, we'd like to meet you.

• Own commercial contract review end to end: intake, first-turn redlines, negotiation with counter parties, practical advice to the business team, and execution across vendor, marketing and creator partnership, agency, and retailer agreements — partnering with Unilever's commercial contracting team on agreements that run through Unilever's templates and approval processes
• Run litigation management: litigation holds and preservation, discovery and subpoena coordination with outside counsel and Unilever's global litigation team, a live matter and budget tracker, and regular reporting to the General Counsel and, on contentious matters, to Unilever Litigation
• Lead advertising enforcement and brand protection: draft cease-and-desist and demand letters when…
