FOIA Data Migration & Compliance Lead - Government

Remote/Hybrid role serving as both a hands-on practitioner and technical lead for Relativity’s FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) Data Migration initiative. This role enables government customers to onboard, migrate, and manage FOIA data within RelativityOne, operating in a dual capacity: defining tooling requirements with engineering and executing migration projects with agency customers. Due to government data handling, U.S. citizenship and Public Trust clearance are required.

About the Role

• Lead end-to-end data migration projects for FOIA customers and government agencies, ensuring accurate, secure, and efficient migration into RelativityOne.
• Develop and execute migration plans, including data mapping, validation, transformation logic, and cutover strategies tailored to agency-specific requirements.
• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for FOIA agency customers throughout the migration lifecycle.
• Troubleshoot and resolve migration issues, data anomalies, and integration challenges in collaboration with engineering.
• Act as the technical subject matter expert and product backlog driver for the Data Migration Utility, balancing immediate customer needs with long-term scalability.
• Write user stories, acceptance criteria, and functional specifications; test and validate new utility features.
• Document tool capabilities, configurations, and migration best practices.
• Apply deep knowledge of FOIA regulations and agency workflows to deliver tailored migration guidance.
• Partner with TAM and Customer Success teams to establish repeatable migration playbooks and success criteria.
• Serve as a subject matter expert on government data handling, including sensitivity classifications and records retention policies.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, migration runbooks, and knowledge base content.
• Identify and report product defects, tool gaps, and process inefficiencies to refine migration methodologies.

All FOIA customer data handled in this role is classified DT1 (Data Type 1), the highest sensitivity tier under Relativity’s FedRAMP authorization. Direct access requires Public Trust clearance, and work is conducted within pre-approved toolsets and Azure-native capabilities.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, Information Management, or related field — or equivalent practical experience.
• Proven experience working directly with government agencies or regulated-industry customers in a technical or consulting capacity.
• Demonstrated experience in data migration, integration, or engineering, including designing and executing migrations of structured/semi-structured data.
• Working knowledge of SQL and experience querying and transforming data.
• Hands-on experience with data formats, transformation tools, and scripting languages (e.g., Python, PowerShell, JSON, XML, CSV).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts for government stakeholders.
• Experience in a product owner or technical lead capacity, capturing requirements and driving iterative delivery.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance as a condition of employment (preference for candidates with current clearance).

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience with federal, state, or local government agencies, particularly in FOIA administration, records management, or public records compliance.
• Working knowledge of the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.552), including exemptions, request workflows, and high-volume request management.
• Familiarity with government data security frameworks (NIST SP 800-53, FedRAMP, FISMA, CJIS Security Policy).
• Experience handling government-designated sensitive data (CUI, PII, Law Enforcement Sensitive) per applicable requirements.
• Experience navigating government procurement, contracting, or Authority to Operate (ATO) processes.
• Experience building or supporting data migration solutions on cloud platforms, with exposure to REST APIs and cloud storage services.
• Familiarity with FOIA-specific platforms (e.g., FOIAXpress, GovQA, Paladin) and agency FOIA system data structures.
• Familiarity with Relativity or RelativityOne, or Relativity certifications (RCA, Specialist, Expert).
