Description of Job

WHAT YOU WILL DO

The Section Litigation Manager (Administrator IV) in the Civil Litigation and Employment Law section will manage the Section's litigation related projects and identify opportunities to improve how litigation work is tracked, coordinated, and delivered. The position will work closely with the Assistant Deputy Attorney General and unit leaders to collect, track, and analyze litigation data to identify trends, workloads, and resource needs, and use that information to support staffing decisions and operational improvements. The role also includes identifying staffing needs, improving workflows, implementing and ensuring the use of best practices in litigation matters, and facilitating after action reviews. In addition, the position will also assist the Section's leadership team, including the State and Federal Employment Litigation Program, in managing litigation matters through project management and the coordination of paralegal staffing.

The Litigation Manager will serve as work lead and a resource for all section paralegals, bringing strong understanding of litigation support practices to help guide and improve how work is performed across the section. This role works closely with paralegals through regular communication and collaboration to understand day-to-day workflows, identify challenges and inefficiencies, and support consistent practices. The position will play a key role in refining onboarding, enhancing training, and improving how paralegals are supported, while leading through influence rather than supervisory authority. The position will also serve as a resource for the case intake team and support coordination of case data collection, knowledge and document management procedures, and quality control for discovery, case information management conventions, collaboration with litigation support, trial preparation, and trial presentation.

This position also will identify and implement process improvements ensuring the Section's litigation practices meet or exceed industry standards. Responsibilities include monitoring progress and workflow, establishing work standards, and supporting consistent, high-quality work product across the Section. The position will work closely with section leadership, attorneys, and paralegals to develop and implement litigation best practices, streamline litigation processes, and improve overall efficiency and service delivery.

In addition, this position will develop manuals and trainings to support the implementation of new and existing practices and procedures. The position will train paralegals and attorneys on litigation-related systems and assist with onboarding new attorneys and paralegals regarding litigation systems and practices in the Section.

Salary note: Although a salary range is listed, salary will be set commensurate with the successful candidate's qualifications and in compliance with the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act.
