You will design and implement workflows, drive AI adoption among litigation attorneys, track results, and help continuously evolve the department’s AI capabilities. This position requires a mix of technical fluency in eDiscovery platforms and AI tools, strong client-service orientation, project management skills, and the ability to map emerging AI capabilities to practical litigation needs.

• Serve as the primary point of contact for attorneys and business services personnel to identify, design, and implement AI-driven solutions addressing eDiscovery and litigation challenges. Coordinate testing and rollout of new features, integrations, and processes, and correspond with eDiscovery vendors on external solutions.
• Develop and maintain deep subject matter expertise of eDiscovery AI-enabled tools, serving as a go-to resource and trusted authority on tool capabilities, configurations, and best practices for litigation attorneys.
• Track and analyze user feedback, adoption metrics, and emerging AI use cases, translating insights into practical recommendations for tool configuration, workflow design, internal development priorities, training improvements, and vendor discussions.
• Stay current on emerging AI technologies relevant to eDiscovery and litigation, conduct testing and evaluation of new tools for functional viability and fit with firm needs, and drive implementation.
• Develop and deliver training materials, reference guides, walkthroughs, best practices, and other enablement sessions on the effective and responsible use of AI solutions in eDiscovery.
• Partner with eDiscovery Project Managers, Knowledge & Innovation Attorneys, IT, and external vendors on adoption strategies, use-case development, and workflow design.

Requirements

• Strong working knowledge of artificial intelligence and its applications in the legal industry, with a focus on generative AI, natural language processing, and their use in eDiscovery and litigation workflows.
• Demonstrated expertise with eDiscovery platforms and tools (e.g., Relativity, including Relativity aiR), document review workflows, and litigation support technologies.
• Strong project management and organizational skills, with the ability to work under pressure, manage multiple workstreams, prioritize effectively, and adapt quickly to shifting priorities.
• Excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills, including the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences such as partners, associates, and senior leadership.
• Excellent client service skills, including the ability to build trust quickly, communicate clearly and professionally, respond promptly to attorney and client needs, and deliver a high-quality experience with sound judgment and attention to detail.
• Demonstrated ability to gather, synthesize, and translate user feedback, business needs, and usage trends into practical recommendations, support resources, and solution improvements.
• Experience developing and delivering training, reference materials, best practices, and other enablement resources for end users.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team, with a proactive, collaborative, adaptable, and solution-oriented approach.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree, preferably in data science, computer science, or information science.
