This position reports to the Vice President / Head of Enterprise Litigation, Investigations & eDiscovery.

Responsibilities

• Lead, develop, and grow a team of eDiscovery and records professionals; drive organizational design as the program scales.

• Set and execute the function's AI and automation strategy, including ROI measurement, in partnership with Legal Technology.
• Manage the legal-technology vendor relationships (review platform, legal-hold system, collection/conversion services, and records vendors) for cost, performance, and ROI.
• Partner with Legal Technology and cross-functional teams (IT, Messaging, Data Security, Privacy, Claims) on the technology roadmap — including document management strategy, legal hold service integration, and workflow automation.
• Advise attorneys and senior leadership on complex eDiscovery questions, discovery strategy, and evolving legal/regulatory obligations.
• Continuously improve processes to reduce risk, increase productivity, and control spend; maintain workflow documentation and standards as the system of record.
• Appropriately assess risk in business decisions, adhering to policy, applying judgment, and driving compliance.
• Serve as the senior point of escalation for eDiscovery matters across the Legal Department and the Company.

Qualifications

• 4-year degree in a technology or related field, or equivalent experience; JD preferred.
• 10+ years in eDiscovery, legal operations, or legal technology, including experience leading and developing teams and managing a function or program.
• Demonstrated experience operating mature eDiscovery platforms (e.g., cloud review, legal-hold, and M365 collection tools) at scale.
• Experience with AI/GenAI or TAR in document review, including defensibility and cost/ROI considerations.
• Strong background in information governance and records management (retention, legal holds, collaboration-data and physical-records lifecycle).
• Experience managing legal-technology vendors, contracts, and spend.
• Deep understanding of eDiscovery and its relationship to adjacent disciplines (compliance, records, information governance, IT, data privacy/protection, and security).
• Excellent communication and advisory skills with senior management, in-house and outside counsel, and cross-functional partners.

Location:

• This is a hybrid role, on-site 3 days per week at Chevy Chase, MD or New York City, NY.
