About Impel Union
Impel Union is a used commercial truck and trailer dealership group with locations in the Chicago area and Houston, TX. We move volume, we move fast, and we need our back office to keep pace. The Title Clerk is a compliance-critical role - every deal we close runs through this desk. We're looking for a professional who takes ownership, catches errors before they become problems, and can handle a high-volume dealership environment.
