I had a question regarding jobs and grades. How important are one's grades in graduate school when applying for jobs after attaining one's PhD?

Generally, they're not a factor. Few if any of the jobs I applied for asked for transcripts.

Not important.

I'm still in grad school myself, but I have been on a hiring committee and I was surprised to see that there was no discussion of candidates' grades, even for one candidate who I thought had low-ish grades. We did, however, request transcripts from all candidates.
