eDiscovery Specialist, New York or Washington DC - $110k to $140k base

eDiscovery Specialist, New York or Washington DC

A global law firm is hiring an eDiscovery Specialist for its in-house eDiscovery team in New York or Washington DC. The team runs as its own profit center and delivers eDiscovery and data services to the firm’s Global Disputes practice, other practice groups and its clients directly, without relying on outside vendors. It was one of the first to adopt Relativity aiR, and it uses analytics, active learning and generative AI on every matter, not just as an occasional pilot.

You’ll be the hands-on Relativity expert on live disputes and investigations matters. You’ll run workspaces, processing, analytics and productions across several matters at once, and work directly with the lawyers. The role is hybrid, based in either the New York or Washington DC office, and reports into the firm’s global eDiscovery operations leadership.

• Administer Relativity, including user access and security permissions, review workflow setup and search logic
• Apply text analytics, active learning and generative AI features as routine practice on every matter
• Create native and TIFF productions
• Manage multiple concurrent matters day to day against billable hour targets
• Handle data transfers through media devices and SFTP, including data logging, and flag risks early
• Deliver end-user training to lawyers, and work alongside the firm’s legal project management and delivery teams

• At least 2 years of relevant eDiscovery experience
• Hands-on Relativity administration
• Data processing experience in Relativity or Nuix
• Working knowledge of the full EDRM, including forensic data preservation tools and techniques
