Data Collection Senior Analyst

TRU Staffing, Inc.
Chicago, IL
Our client, a top-tier global law firm with a growing legal technology function, is seeking a Data Collection Senior Analyst to support high-profile litigation, investigations, and regulatory matters. This role is a hands-on, client-facing position responsible for executing defensible data collections across cloud, mobile, endpoint, and enterprise environments, working closely with attorneys and technical leadership to identify data sources and ensure best-in-class collection practices. The ideal candidate brings experience from a consulting or professional services environment, with strong expertise in tools like Relativity, Microsoft Purview, Cellebrite, or FTK, and a proven ability to perform both remote and on-site collections while maintaining rigorous chain-of-custody documentation. This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing team, contribute to building scalable processes, and gain direct exposure to complex legal matters in a collaborative, high-performance environment. The role is hybrid, requiring three days per week in the New York or Chicago office, plus the opportunity for travel and hands-on client engagement.

Duties and Responsibilities
  • Maintain strong knowledge of modern data collection tools and platforms and technical proficiency in executing defensible collections across cloud, endpoint, mobile, and enterprise systems.
  • Identify relevant data sources and custodial systems within client environments for the preservation of potentially responsive data in accordance with legal and technical requirements.
  • Execute remote and on-site collections using industry-standard tools such as Relativity Collect, Microsoft Purview, Magnet Axiom, Cellebrite, FTK Imager, and similar technologies.
  • Participate in collection discussions and assist with the technical and logistical coordination of collection projects.
  • Execute collection activities independently once scope and methodology are established, applying appropriate technical judgment to ensure collections are performed in a defensible and efficient manner.
  • Maintain detailed documentation of collection methodologies, procedures, and technical decisions to ensure defensibility and reproducibility of collection activities.
  • Coordinate with other litigation support functions and external vendors as necessary.
  • Ensure proper handling of sensitive data and maintain strict confidentiality and integrity of all collected materials.
  • Participate in the testing, maintenance and calibration of collection tools and technologies (e.g., Relativity Collect, Magnet Axiom, and Cellebrite).
  • Communicate directly with clients, custodians, outside counsel, and internal case teams to coordinate collection logistics, provide technical guidance during collection activities, and support successful project execution.
  • Participate in after-hours or expedited collection activities, including evenings or weekends, when required to support client matters.
  • Travel to client locations as necessary to perform on-site collections (approximately 10–20% travel).
Qualifications
Education and/or Experience:
Required:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Digital Forensics, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience in a related area
  • Hands-on experience performing electronic data collections in support of eDiscovery, digital forensics, investigations, or related litigation support activities
  • Demonstrated experience supporting the identification, preservation, and defensible collection of electronically stored information (ESI) from a variety of data sources and technology environments
  • Demonstrated experience performing remote and/or on-site data collections from endpoints, mobile devices, enterprise systems, or network-based repositories using forensic collection tools and cloud based compliance platforms (e.g., Cellebrite, FTK Imager, Relativity Collect, Microsoft Purview, Google Vault)
  • Strong documentation and reporting skills, demonstrated by the ability to produce clear, complete, and audit-ready collection documentation (e.g., chain of custody records, collection logs, and reports) that consistently meet established defensibility standards and withstand legal or regulatory scrutiny
Preferred:
  • Relevant industry certifications, such as EnCase Certified Examiner (EnCE), Certified Computer Examiner (CCE), GIAC Certified Forensic Analyst (GCFA), Cellebrite Certified Operator/Examiner (CCO/CCE), or AccessData Certified Examiner (ACE)
  • Experience in preparing or providing expert or fact witness testimony in legal proceedings related to digital forensics or data collection
Expected salary for this role is $130,000 - $150,000, commensurate with experience, training, skills, qualifications, and other market factors.
