  • Process Improvement: Contribute to documentation, training materials, and process refinement initiatives that advance departmental efficiency.
  • Training & Knowledge Sharing: Deliver training sessions for case teams and provide briefings to department leadership as requested.

  • Experience: Minimum of 6 years (preferred) in legal technology or eDiscovery support, ideally within an Am Law 100 firm or equivalent service provider.
  • Technical Expertise: At least 3 years of hands-on experience with leading eDiscovery platforms (e.g., Relativity, Reveal), including database setup, search design, and workflow configuration.
  • Production & Processing Skills: Strong knowledge of eDiscovery processing tools (Relativity, Nuix, LAW) and demonstrated experience in creating complex document productions.
  • Analytics Proficiency: Minimum of 1 year using analytics tools (e.g., Relativity Analytics, Brainspace, NexLP) for machine learning-based review and quality control.
  • Programming & Scripting: Working knowledge of SQL, Python, and scripting languages to convert and analyze data effectively.
  • Communication & Problem-Solving: Ability to convey technical concepts clearly, respond effectively to stakeholder needs, and identify solutions under tight timelines.
  • Project Management: Proven ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously with a high degree of accuracy and professionalism.
