The opportunity
eDiscovery Services within Forensics operates as a managed service, combining internal operational delivery with client-facing consulting support. At the Senior level, professionals serve as experienced contributors within this model, executing and coordinating end-to-end Discovery activities, including legal hold, evidence management, data processing, review support and production, across complex investigations, litigation and consulting matters.
You will apply sound judgment and technical expertise to help ensure work is performed accurately, defensibly and in alignment with EY standards. You will play a key role in maintaining quality, supporting analysts and escalating issues as needed while contributing to services for flagship clients and high-profile matters.
You will advise clients on data-driven solutions to forensic issues and matters involving business conduct and ethics. Working with clients and Forensic Data Analytics teams, you will help design and implement assets that identify risks of non-compliance and deliver insights from data. You will also analyze large volumes of data to identify high-risk relationships and actions related to fraud, bribery and corruption, ethics and other regulatory risks.
Your key responsibilities
• Lead and oversee Discovery activities in accordance with established methodologies, engagement requirements and EY standards.
• Ensure defensible chain of custody and documentation by supervising data preparation for review and validating that final deliverables meet defined quality, compliance and engagement specifications.
• Proactively identify, assess and drive resolution of processing or quality issues by applying standard protocols, reviewing quality control outputs and directing remediation efforts.
• Provide day-to-day guidance and on-the-job support to junior team members, contribute to training efforts, and maintain and enhance internal documentation and playbooks as procedures and data sources evolve.
• Supervise junior staff and provide direction and oversight regarding their activities.
• Contribute to one or more processes, solutions or projects by completing agreed activities, applying judgment and selecting appropriate methodologies to inform recommendations while considering success criteria, barriers, risks and issues.
• Meet individual targets that affect the immediate team and locally established performance objectives related to client service, quality and risk management, solution development and teaming.
