Description

Company Profile:

At CAVA we make it deliciously simple to eat well and feel good every day. We are guided by a Mediterranean heritage that’s been perfecting how to eat and live for four thousand years. We prioritize authenticity, curiosity, and the pursuit of excellence in everything we do. We are working towards something big, together.

 

We foster a culture built on five core values:

  • Generosity First: We lead with kindness. Our best work happens when we act in service of others.
  • Constant Curiosity: We are eager to learn, grow, and explore beyond the obvious.
  • Act with Agility: We welcome change; it’s the only constant. We embrace, adjust, adapt.
  • Passion for Positivity: We greet each day with warmth and possibility.
  • Collective Ambition: We have high aspirations that are achieved when we work together with a shared purpose.

 

Senior Corporate Counsel:

The Senior Corporate Counsel will have the opportunity to work in a dynamic, entrepreneurial, and collegial environment with business partners across a fast-growing company with ambitions to share its unique offering throughout the U.S. While you will report to the Associate General Counsel, you will serve a critical role for the Company as a strategic commercial legal partner and have exposure to all functional areas, helping to turn departments’ plans into realities. You will also have the opportunity to lead the implementation of a new procurement and contract lifecycle management (CLM) system across the enterprise, and as you grow into the role, to support other functional areas of the business, such as cybersecurity and marketing. If you like working on new challenges and learning every day, this may be the role for you! This will be either a remote or hybrid role.

  • Develop, improve, and maintain standard legal forms, policies, procedures, and compliance programs.
  • Leverage, promote, and develop standardized processes to drive efficiency and results, including by developing legal templates, processes, and playbooks.

  • Perform special projects or assignments that support Legal Department objectives.
  • Work with departments across the Company and report to the Associate General Counsel.

  • Excellent writing and oral communication skills and the ability to constructively, efficiently, and collegially collaborate with business partners.
  • Must be responsive, pro-active, and a self-starter capable taking projects to completion and problem-solving along the way.
