About The Position

For over 25 years, Global Relay has set the standard in enterprise information archiving with industry-leading cloud archiving, surveillance, eDiscovery, and analytics solutions. We securely capture and preserve the communications data of the world’s most highly regulated firms, giving them greater visibility and control over their information and ensuring compliance with stringent regulations.
Though we offer competitive compensation and benefits and all the other perks one would expect from an established company, we are not your typical technology company. Global Relay is a career-building company. A place for big ideas. New challenges. Groundbreaking innovation. It’s a place where you can genuinely make an impact – and be recognized for it.
We believe great businesses thrive on diversity, inclusion, and the contributions of all employees. To that end, we recruit candidates from different backgrounds and foster a work environment that encourages employees to collaborate and learn from each other, completely free of barriers.
You will be directly responsible for managing and expanding a high-profile component of our specialist information service: our GRIP rules navigator. As required, with direction from senior GRIP staff you will also research, source and create content for publication and/or broadcasting for our specialist information service. Because you will be a manager of our global repository of regulation, a US/Canadian law degree, deep experience in legal research and writing, and the ability to work independently are all critical. You will collaborate directly with a friendly and experienced team based in London, Stockholm and NYC.
