This is a dynamic opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment, values client relationships, and enjoys collaborating across teams to make a real difference in the legal tech space.

YOU ARE GREAT AT

Collaborate across teams: partner with internal departments, corporate legal teams, and law firms to align efforts, ensure quality, and meet case-specific objectives.
Manage end-to-end discovery tasks: oversee technical workflows including data processing, user and case setup, and production execution to support client deadlines and goals.
Contribute to team success: support unassigned or escalated projects when needed. Maintain thorough documentation of project activity, custom workflows, and client communications.
Drive innovation and efficiency: identify opportunities for process improvements and implement technical or procedural solutions that enhance service quality and delivery speed.
Maintain financial accountability: track and bill consulting time accurately. Ensure fee structures and estimates are clear at the outset and aligned throughout an engagement.
