Your Responsibilities

• Salary: $90,000-120,000 annually

Join a high-performing Ethics & Legal Compliance team where you’ll play a key role in managing complex litigation matters, enterprise risk initiatives, and third-party compliance programs. This is an opportunity to work on meaningful, high-profile projects that help protect and support the business on a global scale.

What You’ll Do:

• Litigation, E-Discovery and Records Management Support: Manage litigation and e-discovery support activities, including matter management, document preservation and hold support, collection tracking, discovery coordination, records organization, and coordination with internal stakeholders and external counsel.

• Trusted business partner who handles confidential information with the highest level of discretion, professionalism, and integrity.
• Proactive problem-solver with strong analytical thinking, sound judgment, and the ability to work independently with minimal direction.
• Collaborative communicator who builds strong relationships and works effectively across teams, functions, regions, and all levels of leadership, ideally within a multinational organization.
