Legal Assistant

The Legal Assistant we hire will play a key part in our day-to-day operations here in Peoria, IL. Take ownership, lean on your 3 years of Notary Public, and earn $55,000 - $76,000 as part of a team that grows with you.

Key Responsibilities

• Carry general knowledge that doesn't live in any wiki yet
• Keep American Express's Peoria, IL site running while improvements ship underneath
• Document the why, not just the what, behind every KYC decision
• Trim Notary Public processes that have quietly outlived their purpose
• Respond to internal and external requests in a timely, professional manner
• Keep IL reporting accurate enough to bet decisions on

What You'll Bring

• Comfort steering general conversations toward a decision
• Comfort presenting to an IL-wide audience without a script
• Slow-to-anger problem-solving that doesn't wait for permission
• The patience to mentor without taking over the keyboard
• Willingness to commute to Peoria, IL or work flexibly as needed
• A Peoria grounding, or the adaptability to plant roots quickly

At its core, American Express is a warm-yet-rigorous bet that Peoria, IL can out-build anyone when it comes to KYC. We'd rather coach a proudly-nerdy learner than babysit a brilliant jerk, every single time.

We trade fair $55,000 - $76,000 for your talent and throw in mentorship, benefits, and a flexibility policy people actually use.

We refreshed the dates so you know this temporary role is current.
