Business today is increasingly reliant on electronic records, and when fraud occurs in a company those records typically leave hidden electronic fingerprints of how the fraud was conducted. Identifying, analyzing, and preserving evidence is a critical part of helping our clients control the impact of a fraud event. As a Senior on our Discovery Services team, you’ll be right at the heart of that goal. It’s a role with far-reaching implications, so you’ll be working with stakeholders across industries with some of the most innovative tools available.

Your key responsibilities

It’s no exaggeration to say you’ll never be doing the same task for too long. You’re likely to balance your time between directly liaising with our clients to understand their needs and challenges and create solutions using our suite of eDiscovery services. It’s all about using your technical skills to creatively assess and resolve our clients’ needs from the front lines. That means thinking differently about how information is stored and accessed, and speaking up with innovative ideas that challenge the status quo.

  • Excellent time management skills and the ability to prioritize when working on multiple engagements

  • A proven record of delivering eDiscovery solutions to large, complex organizations

Ideally, you’ll also have

  • In depth knowledge of SQL, Relativity, Encase, or other document management/collection tools

  • Either a Juris Doctor (JD) degree or significant electronic discovery experience at a law firm or law enforcement agency

But we’re not just looking for strong technical skills – we’re interested in people that have the ability to nurture relationships – both internal and external – and are committed to intimately understanding our client’s needs.
