• Use a problem-solving approach to overcome unexpected technical and operational challenges
• Ensure clients’ electronic files are easily accessible for potential litigation
• Communicate with clients and colleagues in written and oral form including drafting reports and presentations to clients
• Perform quality control review over work product

What You’ll Need

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, management information systems, or related

• Experience working on litigation cases alongside forensic accounting and legal teams
• Ability to engage technically while also bringing commercial acumen and client facing confidence
• Thrive in a fast‑paced, entrepreneurial environment comprised of high achievers and high client expectations
• Strong project management skills including the ability to balance multiple tasks, self‑prioritize tasks and meet deadlines
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
• Willingness to work outside of normal business hours, and in particular as unique projects/needs arise.
• Ability to work full time in an office and remote environment; physically able to sit/stand at a computer and work in front of a computer screen for significant portions of the workday
