Description et exigences
Who we are
lululemon’s purpose - to elevate human potential by helping people feel the best - is as dynamic as the company’s history and current momentum.
Founded in Vancouver in 1998 with the intent of bringing technical athletic fabrics to yoga, lululemon’s first office was a product design studio by day turned yoga studio at night. What was then a very practical solution to paying the rent has ultimately come to define what
differentiates lululemon. While lululemon is credited with creating the athleisure wear category, what has made the company wildly successful has been its steadfast focus on empowering its stores to become community hubs for lululemon’s guests to live the Sweat life together, as well participate in lululemon sweaty activities.
About this team
We are self-described “legal outliers.” We love the pace and the work we do together in living our purpose, we leverage systems and tools to deliver high quality legal guidance, we partner with the business to enable pace while balancing risk. The work environment we have built is evidence of the fullness of our lives (we wouldn’t choose a legal career anywhere else!) We believe in “the sweat life” – sweat, connection & grow – and we live it every day.
