Legal Operations Coordinator

Grove Collaborative is a sustainability-focused consumer products company creating household and personal care essentials that are effective, beautifully designed, and healthier for people and the planet. We are a certified B Corp, plastic-neutral, and on a mission to transform the CPG industry for good. Temporary Contract for Parental Leave Coverage | September 2026 – January 2027 | Remote We are open to a full-time or part-time schedule | $28-34/hour THE SHORT VERSION We're looking for an experienced Legal Operations Coordinator to join a three-person legal team at a public company and take ownership of recurring operational workstreams — contracts, e-signature administration, and compliance support — for about five months while our Legal Operations Lead is on maternity leave. Our GC and AGC will set priorities and be available for the genuinely novel calls, but the day-to-day execution is yours to run. This is a strong fit if you've already built a real foundation in legal operations or paralegal work and are ready to own a workstream independently at a public company, working directly with a GC and AGC who'll trust you to execute without close supervision. WHAT YOU'LL OWN Contracts & Legal Technology Own Grove's day-to-day contract lifecycle process end-to-end: intake via Tropic, triage, routing for review, execution, and archiving in Juro — running the process independently and escalating only genuine exceptions. Administer Grove's e-signature tools (Adobe Acrobat Sign and Google Workspace eSignature), including troubleshooting user issues, as Grove transitions off DocuSign. Manage Legal's vendor relationships directly: run regular check-ins and track renewal timelines, bringing decisions to counsel only when they call for judgment beyond process. Compliance & Corporate Governance Own SOX process documentation within Legal and cross-functionally — gathering and organizing audit evidence in coordination with Finance and Internal Audit without needing task-level direction. Maintain the corporate calendar (board meetings, regulatory filing deadlines), track state registrations, and manage filing of completed board minutes. Run point on the logistics of responses to data requests, subpoenas, or document productions, executing under counsel's direction on strategy. Monitor adherence to Legal policies and procedures company-wide, flagging gaps proactively rather than waiting to be asked. Records, Billing & Insurance Run Legal's filing systems with discipline — naming conventions, document retention, and legal hold processes — as the person accountable for consistency, not just someone following a checklist. Own legal billing review: track outside counsel invoices against billing guidelines and flag anomalies for review. Manage Grove's corporate insurance portfolio, including renewals, purchases, and claims. YOUR TOOLKIT You should already be comfortable picking up systems like these quickly — we'll ramp you on Grove's specific setup, not the underlying skill: Tropic — Contract intake & procurement workflow Juro — Contract repository & document management Adobe Acrobat Sign / Google Workspace eSignature — E-signature Confluence & Jira — Internal wiki, knowledge base, ticketing Google Workspace — The full suite — Docs, Drive, Sheets, Slides, Gmail, Calendar Slack — Primary communication channel, company-wide Claude (Anthropic) — AI assistant for legal workflows — Chat and Cowork WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR 3–5 years of experience in legal operations, paralegal work, or in-house legal support, with a track record of owning recurring workstreams independently. Genuine interest in public company legal operations; prior exposure to SOX or corporate governance processes is a strong plus. Hands-on experience with tools like CLMs, e-signature platforms, or procurement systems — you don't need our specific stack, but you should be well past the learning-the-basics stage. Bachelor's degree required. Paralegal certificate or coursework is a pl…
