Director of Enterprise Records Disposition eDiscovery

Requirements

Description & Requirements

The Director, Enterprise Records Disposition & eDiscovery serves as the firm's accountable owner for two closely related disciplines: records retention and disposition, and litigation hold and eDiscovery.
