Job Description

Information Governance Specialist

LaSalle Network is hiring for an Information Governance Specialist to join a collaborative and forward-thinking team focused on modernizing and scaling enterprise-wide data practices. In this role, you’ll serve as a key player in driving compliance, optimizing information lifecycles, and enhancing digital risk strategies across legal, IT, and operational teams.
With an eye toward privacy, security, and global compliance, you’ll help shape and execute a mature Information Governance Program. If you're the kind of person who thrives at the intersection of legal records, technology, and strategic execution—and knows how to rally teams toward best practices—you’ll feel right at home here.

Information Governance Specialist Responsibilities:
  • Advise on best practices for privacy, confidentiality, and data security across global operations
  • Coordinate and execute data management initiatives, including remediation, migration, storage, and retention
  • Serve as project lead on key IG initiatives and contribute to program strategy and compliance audits
  • Support and monitor firm-wide records retention and disposition processes
  • Provide guidance during staff departures to ensure quality control and risk mitigation
  • Collaborate with IT, Legal Risk Management, InfoSec, and Business Services to ensure data is stored, used, and protected properly
  • Analyze large datasets, identify unstructured data risks, and recommend remediation paths
  • Deliver training and education around IG policies, DMS usage, and recordkeeping best practices
  • Continuously assess and improve upon governance practices, documentation, and stakeholder engagement
Information Governance Specialist Requirements:
  • Bachelor’s degree required; backgrounds in IT, legal, compliance, records management, or library sciences welcome
  • 5+ years of information governance experience, ideally in a law firm or legal environment
  • Proficient in IG systems like iManage, IRM, LegalKEY, and Microsoft 365 tools; Power BI and SQL reporting a plus
  • Familiarity with industry certifications such as IGP, CRM, PMP, or CIPP strongly preferred
  • Strong communication, project coordination, and documentation skills
  • Comfortable navigating change, leading cross-functional collaboration, and influencing internal practices

If you're ready to lead initiatives that make information smarter, safer, and more strategic—apply today.
