The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Sears is hiring a Legal Secretary in Simi Valley, CA.

• Role description

  We need a mid-level Legal Secretary, full stop, and Sears is willing to back the right Risk Assessment person with $92,000 - $123,000 and trust. Picture $92,000 - $123,000, a freelance cadence, and 4 years of Due Diligence translating into a mid-level seat you actually steer at Sears.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Keep your Brief Writing edge sharp as the CA market shifts
  • Catch the Bankruptcy Law regression a tired reviewer would miss
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams across Sears to hit shared goals
  • Sense when a Simi Valley relationship needs a call, not an email
  • Stitch together Contract Negotiation and Bluebook into one coherent workflow
  • Partner with peers to troubleshoot issues and share practical knowledge
  • Trade quick wins for thoughtfully-bold fixes when the math favors patience
  • Meet established deadlines while upholding Sears quality standards

  What You'll Bring

  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, playfully-serious environment
  • Comfort being the newest person in the room and the loudest in the notes
  • Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of a freelance project
  • Bluebook fundamentals plus the Due Diligence polish clients notice
  • 5 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it
  • A collaborator who makes the mid-level review feel less like an exam

  Everything Sears ships starts as a transparent argument in a Simi Valley conference room about how Bankruptcy Law should really work. Trust, transparency, and steady momentum are the three things we protect above all else.

  We trade fair $92,000 - $123,000 for your talent and throw in mentorship, benefits, and a flexibility policy people actually use.

  We touched the timestamp today; the Legal Secretary hunt continues in earnest.

  Don't wait for the perfect moment to switch into general work, because it's right now.
