• Client Engagement & Service Excellence: Model responsiveness, proactive communication, and high‑touch client support; anticipate needs, provide updates before asked, and deliver white‑glove service; manage multiple deadlines and shifting priorities while maintaining composure under pressure.
• Quality Control & Risk Mitigation: Lead QC for all deliverables including search terms, production specifications, processing work and matter documentation; spot issues early, elevate appropriately, and implement remediation strategies; ensure compliance with firm protocols, chain‑of‑custody standards and risk‑management policies.
• Project & Workflow Management: Develop project plans, assign roles and tasks, and ensure timelines are met; collaborate with operations, vendors and internal teams to execute against deliverables; participate in process improvement and cross‑functional initiatives within the practice group.
• Support Business Development & Financial Management Goals: Represent eData in client‑facing opportunities, cross‑sell services across departments; deliver training and act as subject‑matter liaison throughout the lifecycle of a matter; support pricing and billing processes, including AFAs, time management and value‑add edits.
• Compliance & Professional Development: Maintain daily timekeeping and follow all firm and departmental procedures; stay current on legal technology trends and continuously seek out learning opportunities; take ownership of your career growth and actively participate in internal initiatives.
• Collaborate and Connect: Work with eData partners, leadership and all levels of team members in the practice including Client Services, Operations & Administration, Development & Technology and cross‑functionally with stakeholders globally across firm departments and practices.

What Sets This Role Apart

• Innovation focus: Support lawyers advising on eDiscovery services – an area at the forefront of client demand.
• Career development: Build specialized knowledge in a dynamic, high‑growth practice with clear opportunities to demonstrate impact and advance.
• Culture of excellence: Join a collaborative, forward‑thinking team recognized for creativity, responsiveness and client service.

Who We’re Looking For

• Minimum of five years of experience in litigation support or eDiscovery consulting, with at least two years in a multi‑office law firm or an alternative legal service provider.
• Strong strategic thinking and execution skills, thriving in high‑stakes, detail‑heavy environments and serving as a trusted advisor on discovery strategy, tools and best practices.
• Excellent communication skills, ability to influence, collaborate and build trusted relationships.
• Data‑driven mindset, translating insights into actionable strategies.
• Results‑oriented with strong time management, planning and organizational skills to effectively prioritize and balance multiple projects.
