About Us

What makes us different

We are a B Corp

We are a B Corp - a group of about 2500 companies (like Patagonia and Ben & Jerry's) that prioritize social & environmental impact as well as profits. We can only do well if our community, environment, employees, and customers do well too.

We sell real things to real people, and make an impact

We’re not selling to Silicon Valley & New York; our customers are real families across the United States. We’ve helped hundreds of thousands of families make better decisions and use more sustainable products.

Grove’s “Owned Brands” consist of the products we build from the ground up and capture the essence of Grove values; effective, beautiful, sustainable. Whether they carry the Grove name or that of one of our other owned brands, every aspect of these products is held to a very high standard, from the decision to add them to the assortment, through the formulation and all the way to the messaging of the products to the Grove community. 

Reporting to the SVP of Product Development & Merchandising and located at our brand new San Francisco headquarters, the Vice President of Physical Product Development & Innovation will take the lead in determining and driving the future of our rapidly growing "Owned Brands". This includes both what brands and products are developed under the Grove banner as well as how those stories are crafted for their rapidly growing community. This role will set the strategy for the mid and long-term product road map and oversee the execution of these key initiatives, ensuring that Owned Brands continue to be a leader in both innovation and sustainability.

• Develop intimate understanding of the Grove customer and the relevant marketplace. Leverage knowledge of the customer and trends to develop and optimize products, categories and assortments. 

About You

• 10-15+ years of professional experience, with a large portion of it developing physical products in the CPG or household goods space; direct work taking product from inception to launch
