About RDT Group Functions

As a trusted and agile partner, the Legal, Compliance & Group Communication sub-Functions are empowered to boost global innovative solutions with our business stakeholders in the Legal and Compliance digital prioritization journey.

Responsibilities

• Plan and execute legally defensible data preservation and collection strategies across the full enterprise landscape, including performing forensic imaging on corporate hardware (iOS, macOS, and Windows laptops/mobile devices), executing cloud-based eDiscovery via Microsoft Purview, and retrieving case-critical data from various internal systems globally.
• Manage eDiscovery review processes and execute advanced data processing within Relativity and Purview Premium. Prepare data for legal review by applying Boolean search strings, early case assessment (ECA), culling strategies, and TAR/AI workflows. Oversee legal productions and drive continuous process and technology improvements to ensure efficient, defensible outcomes.
• Handle core operational workflows by accurately executing time-sensitive data requests, physical evidence handling, and device collections across diverse company systems. Establish and maintain standardized operating procedures (SOPs), metric tracking, and detailed audit trails for all preservation, collection, and processing tasks—ensuring a strict, defensible chain of custody aligned with EDRM standards.
• Oversee the operational readiness and end-to-end lifecycle of core eDiscovery and forensic tools, including Microsoft Purview, Relativity, Cellebrite, and Druva. Proactively manage software updates, perform troubleshooting, and ensure all platforms are optimized to meet legal, compliance, and investigative needs.
• Continuously evaluate and refine collection workflows to account for new OS updates (iOS, macOS, Windows 11) and emerging security features (e.g., FileVault, BitLocker, MDM profiles). Proactively deploy workflow automation/AI improvements. Contribute to the continuous improvement of legal and compliance data services.
• Proactively develop and maintain strong, trusting business relationships with key legal and compliance stakeholders, RDT, and other internal or external partners. Act as a trusted liaison to legal and compliance teams (e.g., eDiscovery and Internal Investigations) by exhibiting exceptional communication skills to translate complex technical concepts into clear legal realities for legal and compliance teams and non-technical stakeholders.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in eDiscovery, digital forensics, or specialized IT incident response—preferably within a highly regulated global industry (e.g., Pharmaceuticals, Healthcare, or Finance).

Skills

• Microsoft Purview Mastery (Primary Focus): Subject Matter Expert (SME) level proficiency in Microsoft Purview. Proven track record designing, building, and executing end-to-end, legally defensible search, preservation, and collection workflows across Microsoft 365.

• Endpoint & Mobile Forensics: Practical experience collecting ESI across both Apple (iOS/macOS) and Windows (10/11) environments, including basic handling of encryption (FileVault, BitLocker) and remote collection methodologies. Hands-on familiarity with mobile and computer collection tools—such as Cellebrite (UFED, Digital Collector) and Druva. Relevant forensic certifications (e.g., CFCE, CCE, CCME, GCFE/GCFA) are a plus, but not required.
• Project & Stakeholder Management: Experience effectively and proactively coordinating multiple functional areas and stakeholders, with the ability to handle multiple priorities and projects simultaneously with a high degree of accuracy and professionalism.
• Proactive & Adaptive Mindset: Strong problem-solving skills with a continuous-improvement mindset. Ability to manage complex, time-sensitive priorities with high precision, autonomy, and professionalism in an ambiguous, evolving environment.
