Craig Blakeley, an e-discovery project manager at Kroll Ontrack provides Kroll's job requirements for Litigation Support Project Managers and Case Consultants in a discussion thread on the e-LEGAL group on LinkedIn. They are:
(emphasis added)
- Bachelors degree in Business or related field required
- Required - 3 + years in a law firm environment providing litigation support specialist
- Preferred - 3 + years of project management experience with external clients in a service delivery environment is required
- PMP certification desired but not required
- IT systems and document management technology experience and/or understanding of litigation support and document review process are highly desired
- Excellent communication skills are a must as well as proficiency with multi tasking.
- Attention to detail and balancing ever changing priorities while giving our customers the reassurance that you understand their sense of urgency is critical.
- Excellent customer service skills and focus
- Proven skills in problem solving, multitasking, project leadership and the ability to work independently
- Technical aptitude and the ability to learn and adjust to rapidly changing environment
This is one of the few e-discovery project management job descriptions that I've seen that specifically lists PMP certification. Also, I find it interesting that Kroll requires a Bachelors degree in "Business or related field" rather than computer science or a related field.
