We're looking for an energetic, creative, and pragmatic lawyer to join our Sydney legal team and take on the role of Senior Lawyer supporting our Global Merchant and Network Services business for a 12-month contract.

Who are we? American Express is one of the most recognised brands on the planet.
Since its early beginning as a freight forwarding company in 1850, change has been the only constant in its 150+ year history.

And all along the way one thing has remained our constant and singular focus –providing the world's best customer experience every day.
We are an inclusive workplace with collaboration at our heart, committed to serving the communities in which we live and work.
As much as we are driven to win, we strongly believe in winning the right way.
The current moment sees financial services and payments in a state of intense disruption, innovation and competition.
Driven by new technology, the regulatory environment struggles to keep pace.
