Green Orbit Ltd – a sustainability-focused e-commerce startup and Regional Finalist in the UK StartUp Awards 2025 – is on a mission to make sustainable living smarter and easier.
We’re revolutionising how people consume by offering eco-friendly products and a flexible rental platform that reduce waste and promote a circular economy. As we explore R&D collaborations with universities to drive “smarter sustainability” innovations, we’re looking for a Pro Bono Board Advisor (Legal) to guide us on this journey.
Why Join Us?
This is a unique opportunity to shape the strategy of an award-winning green startup and make a real impact. You’ll be part of a passionate, mission-driven team working to empower individuals to make greener choices every day. Your legal expertise will help us innovate responsibly and scale our vision for a more sustainable future.
Who We Are Looking For:
* Experience: 5+ years of corporate legal experience at a senior level (e.g., in-house counsel, law firm partner, or similar).
* Expertise: Deep knowledge of corporate governance, intellectual property, and contracts (essential).
* Availability: Able to attend quarterly board meetings (4x/year) and contribute a few hours per month for ad-hoc advisory support.
* Location: UK-based only (meetings are in the UK, with potential for occasional in-person attendance).
* Passion: Genuine enthusiasm for sustainability and innovation. You’re excited to volunteer your skills to support a growing green business in a pro bono capacity.
What You’ll Do:
Provide strategic legal counsel to our board and founding team. Help ensure we meet high standards of governance and compliance. Advise on IP protection as we develop new eco-friendly solutions, and review key contracts/partnerships (including those with universities). In short, you’ll be our go-to legal sage, helping Green Orbit navigate growth thoughtfully and ethically.
Tone & Culture:
We value professionalism and a startup mindset. Our culture is friendly, collaborative, and driven by purpose. As a board advisor, you’ll fit right in if you appreciate an environment where new ideas are welcome and everyone rolls up their sleeves to make things happen.
