About Zerorez

Zerorez is a residential and commercial cleaning company built on its patented Zero Residue® cleaning process, which cleans carpet, upholstery, tile, and other surfaces without leaving behind soapy residue. Through company-owned and franchised locations, Zerorez serves homeowners and businesses across the country. Zerorez is headquartered in American Fork, Utah. 

About the role

The Corporate Counsel will handle the day-to-day legal work that keeps Zerorez moving: contracts, privacy and marketing compliance, insurance claims, customer disputes, franchise documents, and practical advice to business teams. This is a generalist, in-house role for an attorney who enjoys variety, works independently, and gives clear, business-minded answers. You will work closely with operations, finance, marketing, franchise development, and the commercial sales team, and may coordinate with outside counsel when matters require it.
