eDiscovery Case Manager
You will manage and coordinate eDiscovery matters from intake through completion, serving as a key point of contact between Legal, Compliance, and the eDiscovery technical team. You will work closely with senior team members and stakeholders in Sydney to ensure continuity and capacity across the portfolio of active matters.
You will advise internal stakeholders on collection strategies, review workflows, supplier engagement, matter timelines, and delivery risks. You’ll oversee case progress, manage scope and expectations, coordinate with approved eDiscovery suppliers where required, and ensure matters are delivered on time and within defensible standards. You will also be expected to understand data collection processes, chain of custody protocols, and supplier handoffs to support end-to-end matter delivery.
