We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Manager with deep eDiscovery expertise to join our U.S. team.

• Serve as a senior escalation point for technical, workflow, and defensibility issues on high‑stakes matters.
• Leverage advanced Relativity functionality to design efficient workflows, customize review environments, and optimize data management and cost control.
• Oversee multiple concurrent eDiscovery projects, ensuring timely, accurate, and high‑quality delivery.
• Act as a primary client contact for eDiscovery matters, managing expectations and serving as a trusted advisor.
• Mentor, train, and supervise eDiscovery professionals, providing guidance on technical execution, quality control, and professional development.
• Collaborate with colleagues across Cyber, Forensics, Investigations, Analytics, and Compliance to deliver integrated solutions.
• Contribute to business development, proposal support, and the expansion of existing client relationships.
• Enhance Kroll’s market presence through thought leadership, conference participation, and client engagement.
• Stay current on developments in eDiscovery technology, U.S. discovery standards, privacy regulations, and industry best practices, implementing improvements where appropriate.

Essential Traits & Qualifications

• Strong commitment to delivering high‑quality, defensible work with a client‑centric mindset.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Law, or a related field; advanced degree or relevant eDiscovery certifications (e.g., RCA, CEDS) preferred.
• Experience: Typically 8+ years of progressive experience in eDiscovery, litigation support, or digital investigations, including leadership of complex matters.
• Technical Skills: Deep expertise in Relativity; strong understanding of data processing, analytics, review, and production workflows. Relativity Master certification is a plus.
• Leadership Skills: Proven ability to lead teams, manage senior stakeholders, and operate independently under tight deadlines and high pressure.
• Client Management: Demonstrated experience managing sophisticated clients and serving as a trusted, solutions‑oriented advisor.
