## Description (the employer's text)

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!

### About the role

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 counterparties, 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.

### Why this role

- 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 counterparties
- 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, more direct impact—earlier than most legal careers will offer it. If that's you, we'd like to meet you.

### In this role, you will

- Own commercial contract review end to end: intake, first-turn redlines, negotiation with counterparties, 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 competitors' advertising is false or misleading, track responses, recommend when a filing or challenge is warranted, and support trademark and anti-counterfeiting efforts
- Build the systems that make Legal faster and smarter: a precedent and template library, negotiation playbooks with fallback positions and approval matrices, a contract repository with key terms tagged, matter and budget tracking, and guidelines for how the legal function uses AI
