About The Position

Our Risk Management Department has an opening for a Litigation Docket Coordinator who will perform calendaring/docket functions and assist with the maintenance of the docket database for our Litigation, Corporate and Administrative departments. Innovation isn't a department here — it's a mindset. We actively use AI tools to work smarter, and we expect everyone to bring curiosity and openness to how technology can enhance their work. You don't need to be a technical expert; you need to be willing to learn, experiment, and grow alongside a team doing the same. This position can be based in any of our U.S. office locations and offers a hybrid schedule, requiring one day on‑site per week in office, with the possibility of additional required in‑office days depending on business and client needs. During the training period, the individual must be available to work on Pacific Time. The work schedule for this position (non‑exempt) will be 40 hours per week, Monday–Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with flexibility and the ability to work overtime as needed.
