We get the opportunity to work with every department in the company as well as outside counsel, vendors, partners, and (most meaningfully) customers. We strive to avoid pretentiousness and instead focus on working hard, having fun, and delivering results.

This role sits in our Provo, UT headquarters. The legal team strives to be pragmatic and collaborative. You will receive robust training and mentoring from attorneys and senior paralegals/contract managers.
