Job Description

At EY, you’ll have the chance to build a career as unique as you are, with the global scale, support, inclusive culture and technology to become the best version of you.

The exceptional EY experience. It's yours to build.

EY focuses on high-ethical standards and integrity among its employees and expects all candidates to demonstrate these qualities.

Many businesses today serve a global marketplace that is increasingly characterized by a complex legal and regulatory environment. The demand for global availability of document review services has been driven beyond cost savings to quality control, speed and cross-border coordination.  As a Staff on our Managed Document Review (MDR) team, you’ll be front-and-center in providing EY clients with the resources and technologies needed to meet evolving litigation and compliance needs on quality, privacy, security and cost efficiency, all at the same time.  It’s a role with far-reaching implications, so you’ll be working with stakeholders across industries with some of the most innovative tools available.
