Job Summary
Mercor is seeking Legal Workflow Experts (E-Discovery & Legal Tech) to help define and evaluate real-world workflows performed by legal professionals.

Key Responsibilities
- Map end-to-end legal workflows within platforms such as Relativity, Clio, DocAssemble, and CLM systems.
- Describe how legal data is handled across stages: ingestion, processing, review, and output.
- Provide detailed, structured workflow breakdowns (e.g., litigation, contract review, document automation).
- Identify decision points, edge cases, and workflow variations.
- Evaluate expected competencies of legal professionals using these tools.
- Produce clear, high-quality written analyses within defined timeframes.
Example Work
- Define workflows in e-discovery tools (e.g., ingestion → processing → deduplication → review → privilege tagging → production).

- Background as a lawyer, legal operations professional, or litigation support specialist.
- Strong understanding of legal processes (litigation, contracts, compliance).

- Excellent structured written communication skills.
