Job Description

Role Summary
We are seeking detail-oriented eDiscovery Specialists to join the InfoSec eDiscovery team. This role involves managing legal hold obligations, custodian data preservation, law enforcement responses, and data subject access requests across a large and active global portfolio. Candidates with investigations backgrounds, including corporate security, compliance, law enforcement, HR/workplace investigations, fraud, or legal operations, will thrive in this position. The specialist will handle matters from intake through closure, ensuring meticulous documentation and clear communication with legal teams.

Responsibilities

  • Support active matters throughout their full lifecycle: intake, triage, preservation, and closure, maintaining accurate records at each stage.
  • Place, confirm, track, and lift legal holds, ensuring comprehensive data source coverage and proper documentation of actions.
  • Monitor active cases for stalled items, missing confirmations, or approaching deadlines; escalate proactively to prevent delays.
  • Assist in law enforcement response workflows: process incoming requests, apply retention and preservation actions, track deadlines, and coordinate with legal teams.
  • Support investigation activities: assess scope, apply initial preservation steps, document chain of custody, and escalate issues as needed.
  • Maintain detailed, defensible investigation records, documenting actions, status, and custody information throughout the matter lifecycle.
  • Conduct forensic imaging of laptops, mobile devices, and storage media, managing chain of custody and inventory accurately.
  • Follow lab protocols for evidence handling, labeling, and secure storage; escalate deviations immediately.
  • Execute operational workflows from intake through closure, ensuring compliance and thorough documentation.
  • Communicate project updates effectively during team meetings, escalate time-sensitive issues, and resolve blockers independently.

Qualifications

  • 2 to 5 years of experience in investigations, legal operations, compliance, law enforcement, corporate security, or related fields.
  • Bachelor's degree in criminal justice, information technology, paralegal studies, or equivalent experience preferred.
  • Proven track record of managing cases from intake to closure with disciplined documentation practices.
  • Ability to work effectively with legal and compliance teams, understanding confidentiality and accuracy requirements.
  • Strong organizational skills to prioritize high-volume active matters independently.
  • Excellent written communication skills, with experience updating tickets, summarizing statuses, and documenting preservation actions.
  • Willingness to learn and adapt to eDiscovery tools and workflows; familiarity with platforms such as Relativity, Exterro, or Everlaw is a plus.
  • Demonstrated discretion handling sensitive personnel, legal, and law enforcement information.
  • Ability to operate within structured team processes and escalate issues proactively.
  • Availability to work remotely in an approved location.
