Each day, thousands of people seek our help getting disability benefits or insurance compensation. They’re intimidated by the process, unsure where to turn, and desperate for good advice.

As a Legal Assistant at Atticus, your job is to ensure they get and stay on the right path. This job is different from that of a traditional legal assistant. The job mixes responsibilities in any good legal assistant’s comfort zone (build client relationships; support paralegals and attorneys in filing and managing claims) with those unique to being an operator in a fast-growing tech company (help Marketing source clients who’d be great in testimonials, or user test new tools for Product).

In a typical week you might do any of the following:

Make contact with a client that’s in danger of slipping through the cracks at SSA, and help get their case back on track.

Work with a client’s team to run down missing paperwork at SSA.

Take on an inefficient workflow that’s slowing the team down (e.g., processing case updates), scope an improvement, get team buy-in, and execute the improvement.

This role is a rare opportunity to join a fast-growing Series C startup and do meaningful social impact work. It’s designed to be a path to building expertise in the fields of law you support and taking on greater responsibilities over time (e.g. becoming a paralegal).
