How You’ll Help Move Us Forward

  • Execute eDiscovery collections, searches, review preparation, and exports to support litigation, investigations, regulatory inquiries, and DSARs, while ensuring consistent and auditable discovery outcomes.
  • Perform data collections from Microsoft 365, Proofpoint, on-premises file shares, workstations, mobile/SMS platforms and other locations where company data may be stored.

The Experience You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
  • 5–10 years of progressive experience in eDiscovery, digital forensics, legal operations, or related disciplines.
  • Hands-on administration experience with one or more of the following technologies: Casepoint eDiscovery, MS Purview eDiscovery, Proofpoint.
  • Demonstrated experience with legal hold lifecycle management and large-scale global Enterprise data collections.

What Makes You Stand Out

  • Certifications on Casepoint, Microsoft Purview or Compliance (SC-series)
  • Experience supporting a global Enterprise and Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs).
  • Experience with cloud and non-M365 enterprise data sources.
  • Background in Security Operations, IT, Legal Operations, or eDiscovery service providers.
