We are looking for an eDiscovery Specialist to join our legal and compliance team. As an eDiscovery Specialist, you will be responsible for managing the identification, preservation, collection, processing, review, and production of electronically stored information (ESI) in response to litigation, investigations, and regulatory requests. You will work closely with legal counsel, IT professionals, and external vendors to ensure that all electronic evidence is handled in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements. Your role will involve using advanced eDiscovery tools and software to process large volumes of data, maintain chain of custody, and ensure data integrity throughout the eDiscovery lifecycle. You will also be responsible for developing and implementing best practices, protocols, and workflows to improve the efficiency and defensibility of the eDiscovery process. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of legal procedures, data privacy laws, and information governance principles. You should be detail-oriented, highly organized, and able to manage multiple projects simultaneously under tight deadlines.

Prior experience in a law firm, corporate legal department, or eDiscovery service provider is highly desirable. Certifications such as Certified E-Discovery Specialist (CEDS) or Relativity Certified Administrator are a plus.
