Legal Support Specialist Jobs in Kansas

Our vision of “Together, we are best at people” is more than just a slogan - it’s reality! Terracon has been named “Best place to work” numerous times over the past few years and has a culture focused on collaboration, excellence, and growth. To support our employee’s need for work/life balance, we have a hybrid work environment. Come to the office twice a week (perhaps more when needed) to collaborate with peers face to face. The rest of the week, you are free to work from home, if that is your choice. (NOTE: while this is a hybrid role, the position needs to be filled by a candidate located in the greater Kansas City area.) As an employee-owner, you will have the benefit of participating in our success as a shareholder of the company and the opportunity to work with co-workers who are talented, and fun! Terracon’s success can be attributed to valued employees who grow their careers through continual learning and exciting job opportunities. If this is a good fit for what you’re looking for, we invite you to apply.
