We, at Leggett & Platt, Incorporated, are searching for an Assistant General Counsel within our Legal team to help support our Automotive business unit. As a global-diversified manufacturing company, it's sometimes hard to explain all the different things we do; however, we are confident you interact with one of our products in your daily life without knowing it. Whether it's the mattress you sleep on, the car you drive, the plane you fly on, or the furniture you sit on, our high-quality components are there supporting you. If you join our team, your work will ensure people across the world have a little more comfort in their lives.

As an Assistant General Counsel, you will have the opportunity to work with other attorneys, executives, and employees at all levels. The team you will be working with is collaborative and team-oriented, and values how vital this role is to the success of the company. The position would be eligible for a remote or hybrid work arrangement; however, there is a strong preference for candidates within two to three hours' drive of the Troy/Detroit, MI area. There would be occasional travel required.
