Job description

Our client is a forward-thinking legal services and eDiscovery consulting firm seeking a Managing Attorney, Review to lead complex document review matters while helping drive a more integrated approach between eDiscovery and review. This highly visible, hands-on role will own review strategy, workflow design, budgeting, team performance, technology deployment, and client communication from start to finish. The ideal candidate is a licensed attorney with deep RelativityOne expertise, strong AI fluency with experience beyond Relativity aiR, and ideally experience with Everlaw and a broader understanding of the eDiscovery lifecycle. They are looking for a sharp, solutions-oriented leader who can leverage advanced technology to build smarter, more efficient workflows and consistently deliver high-quality results on time and on budget.

What The Role Is

• Run document review projects end to end: planning, setup, staffing, training, security, delivery. Hands-on, not hands-off.
• Set the review strategy and efficiency plan at the outset of every project - workflow design, batching, QC protocol, TAR/analytics and AI deployment, staffing model.
• Own the project budget. Know it line by line, manage it, and report variance the same day it appears.
• Use RelativityOne - advanced searches, analytics, metrics, aiR, AI-driven review - to move the work, not as a checkbox.
• Validate time entry and utilization throughout the day, every day.
• Be the strategic voice with the client. Anticipate issues, bring solutions, and never let the client find the problem first.
• Train teams on substantive legal issues and on how we work.
• Coach in real time. Hold the team accountable. Replace those who aren’t performing - same day.
• Deliver daily reports that are concise, accurate, and useful.
• Partner with the customer experience team on growth opportunities.

What We're Looking For

• Sharp judgment. You can defend a workflow choice on the merits, and you can change your mind when someone else’s idea is better.
• You are open to new ways of working, and you solicit and encourage ideas from the people around you.
• Curiosity about better ways to do the work. You don’t have a fixed playbook; you have a fixed standard.
• Technical fluency in RelativityOne is the floor, not the ceiling. aiR, analytics, AI-driven review - you know what to deploy and when.
• An excellence reflex. "Good enough" never is.
• Problem-solver by default and Calm under pressure.
• Decisive. You make the call when you know it’s right.
• You think in outcomes, efficiency, and what you’ve delivered. Not billable hours.
• Clear, plain communication - written and verbal.

Minimum Requirements

• Juris Doctor.
• Active U.S. bar license, in good standing (any U.S. jurisdiction), and all licenses maintained are clear and in good standing.
• Some experience managing complex document review projects as a Review Manager.
• Demonstrated document review experience as an attorney.
• Hands-on RelativityOne expertise: advanced searches, analytics, metrics reporting, aiR, AI-driven review tools. Advanced Relativity certifications a plus.

Expected salary for this exempt role is $120,000 - $160,000, commensurate with experience, training, skills, qualifications, and other market factors.
