Key Responsibilities:

2. Information Architecture & Data Governance
• Enterprise Data Migration: Executing the transfer of legacy legal files to Google Drive will give them real-world experience in cloud data migration, access control management, and digital transformation.
• Database Design & Maintenance: Building the master repositories and reporting trackers will teach them how to structure raw data logically, turning messy legal documents into clean, searchable, and actionable databases.
• Data Security & Discretion: Handling sensitive bankruptcy, probate, and legal data will instill best practices for data privacy, confidentiality, and information security.

3. Corporate Governance & Stakeholder Management
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Disseminating court orders to Account Services and Collections will develop their professional communication skills and teach them how compliance acts as a backbone for other business units.
• Executive-Level Reporting: Assisting with data collation for the governance committee will give them insight into how executive leadership reviews corporate risk and makes strategic decisions.
