Salary

$90,000-120,000 annually

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. Act as a trusted point of contact for sensitive compliance, litigation and risk-related matters, exercising sound judgment, discretion and professionalism.
