Description:
Lead eDiscovery Program Manager

Date: April 2022

Target is an iconic brand, a Fortune 50 company and one of America's leading retailers.

To match the signature style and passion of Target's distinctive retail brand, Target Legal Affairs is a dynamic and deeply knowledgeable team of experts. Whether specializing in law, government affairs, employee relations, risk, compliance, ethics, security or food safety, we use our expertise and influence to advocate for Target, support Target's business and mitigate risk for the company. We work with both internal and external entities on key issues that affect Target's ability to productively, ethically and securely conduct business. Through our understanding of Target's business models and operations, we help facilitate Target's growth, and provide guidance that leaders rely on to make appropriate, well-informed decisions. Simultaneously, we help protect the business by applying our comprehensive understanding of risk and the law on issues that impact our brand, guests, team members, stores, distribution centers and corporate locations.

Here, you'll enjoy working autonomously with a healthy work-life balance. Your passion for learning the business, collaborating with others and building relationships with senior leaders and key business partners that you support will be essential to tackling the ever-changing legal and risk-based challenges we face in a dynamic and fast-paced retail environment.

A role in Strategy and Operations means creating the effective and efficient processes and tools that Legal Affairs uses to deliver exceptional service to their enterprise clients. Your support will be key in times of change and to ensure the success of large-scale business projects. You'll build valuable relationships and make a positive impact as you coordinate critical resources across teams.

The Lead eDiscovery Program Manager leads the enterprise wide direction and support for the design, implementation, and enhancement of Target's eDiscovery programs. The Program Manager will own the building of an end to end eDiscovery program and oversee day-to-day operations of the program, manages and assists in the direction of activity for case workup, and proactively anticipates and directs program changes to support continued compliance with legal changes, technical best practices, and evolving data landscapes in order to further the Company's objectives. The Program Manager partners with internal legal teams, technical staff, IT support teams, and outside counsel to support all phases of eDiscovery from the issuance of the legal hold, to the export, review and production of relevant data, and beyond. The ideal candidate works independently on multiple, complicated and often unrelated legal and governance matters. The Lead Program Manager is a strong communicator, innovator and collaborator who is capable of driving alignment and clarity, proactively managing risk, and growing as a subject matter expert.

  • Apply subject matter expertise to help develop, implement, automate, and improve in-house end-to-end eDiscovery processes and procedures;
  • Lead eDiscovery strategic planning and roadmap development;
  • Lead development and implementation of scalable policies, templates, processes, tools and workflows to solve eDiscovery issues, manage risk, and increase operational value and efficiency;
  • Develop and maintain expertise in a variety of technical tools for legal matter management, end-to-end eDiscovery, and workflow automation, including O365, Relativity, and other eDiscovery tools;
  • Rapidly identify, analyze and address complicated issues, and distill that complexity into simple and concise communication to influence outcomes in cross-functional settings
  • Track and analyze data to visualize metrics and drive continuous process improvement
  • Take regular training and obtain required certifications in eDiscovery and related fields and keep abreast of changes and developments relevant to eDiscovery, Information Governance, and Program Management
