A brake controller isn't a vehicle specific item, they can be installed on just about any vehicle.
If your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L has a functional 7-way trailer connector at the rear bumper, the Curt # C51180 Echo wireless brake controller would be a plug and play installation, no other parts would be needed.
If you don't have the 7-way trailer connector, you'll need a functional 4 pole trailer connector which would be provided by the # C27BR trailer wiring harness. Once that's installed, you'll need the # ETBC7L brake controller installation kit. The kit includes all the wiring, hardware and the circuit breaker needed to install the controller. It also includes the adapter to convert the 4 pole provided by the # C27BR harness to a 7-way.
I'll link to a video that explains how the # ETBC7L kit works, as well as to a demonstration video for the Curt # C51180 Echo Wireless Brake Controller.
