About TrialKit
TrialKit is an AI-native legal technology platform transforming how attorneys handle digital discovery. Our platform ingests, organizes, and analyzes discovery materials - documents, images, audio, and video - and unlocks insights through natural language search, linked entities, and case-building tools.
TrialKit was designed by defense attorneys and is already used by more than 100 law firms across the United States. We’re building the modern platform for litigation teams - and the Discovery Team that ensures legal teams get the most out of the system when they have complex cases.
About the Role
The Discovery Specialist role sits at the intersection of legal work, technology, and customer support. This role ensures that complex or non-standard data is handled with precision and care so attorneys can fully leverage the platform no matter how big their case is.
This is a detail-intensive role ideal for someone with experience both preparing digital discovery (as paralegal or legal assistant) and handling customer support questions. You’re an ideal candidate if you are precise, efficient, resourceful, and an excellent communicator.
As we continue growing the team, we are looking for Discovery Specialists both at standard hours, and to cover times when others are not available (early morning/ evenings / weekends), so the application includes a question about your preferred hours.

Discovery Preparation & Case Setup
- Monitor incoming discovery
- Review case files to assess required preparation and provide estimated timelines for upload
- Apply standardized workflows to maintain quality across all cases
- Open, review, and convert a wide range of file types, including proprietary formats

Workflow Management
- Manage multiple cases simultaneously, prioritizing based on urgency, priority, and workload

- Communicate with customers about estimated timelines
