• Work alongside eDiscovery Engineers on processing, loading, exports, productions, and other technical matter activities as business needs require.
• Develop and update internal reference materials covering workflows, troubleshooting, issue resolution, and other processes that promote consistency, knowledge transfer, and defensible practices.
• Support the Director of Litigation Support with departmental projects and operational initiatives, including technology assessments, process enhancements, and other strategic or administrative priorities.
• Take on additional responsibilities and projects as assigned.

REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

• 5+ years of professional experience supporting eDiscovery workflows within a law firm, legal services provider, corporate legal department, or comparable environment.
• Advanced working knowledge of RelativityOne, including workspace configuration and administration, review workflows, and production functionality.
• Solid knowledge of defensible eDiscovery methodology and the various stages of the EDRM.
• Practical experience applying data culling, analytics, and technology‑assisted review techniques; exposure to AI‑supported review platforms is advantageous.
• Strong ability to explain technical processes and recommendations in clear, business‑oriented terms to attorneys, clients, and other non‑technical stakeholders.
• Highly organized and capable of balancing multiple active matters, competing priorities, and time‑sensitive deliverables.
• Demonstrated ability to take ownership of assignments independently while working effectively with attorneys, technical specialists, vendors, and other cross‑functional partners.
• Strong verbal, written, interpersonal, and client‑service skills.
