eFiling Specialist

eFiling Specialist (Remote - California preferred, PST required)

Full-Time, Remote / Hourly, Non-Exempt / Includes Benefits, PTO, Flexible Schedule, Equity

Steno is growing! We’re looking for an experienced eFiling Specialist who resides in the Pacific Time Zone to join our winning team!

In this role, you’ll ensure client orders are processed according to service agreements and will assist with the implementation of new Steno products across Litigation Support services.

Who are you?

We’re looking for a highly organized individual who thrives in a busy, fast-paced environment--we know you’ve heard this before, but we’re not kidding. We’re growing--fast--so we’re looking for folks who are excited to match pace and help us expand our litigation support services offerings. If a fast-paced environment that is equal parts challenging and rewarding doesn’t motivate you, then the operations team is probably not the right fit. But if you thrive in a forward-thinking environment where you can use your knowledge of the legal industry to help change the support services landscape (and don’t mind facing new challenges), you may just find the home you are looking for here. 

On a regular basis you will 

• Review incoming client requests in accordance with court rules, prepare them accordingly, and submit filings through Steno’s eFiling portal. 
• Enter client and order information into our databases, including new assignments, updating documentation, status notifications, and closing orders.
• Ensure the timely completion of customer orders assigned to you, meeting service level agreements.
• Prioritize and monitor rush assignments for timely delivery and customer communication. 
• Maintain open lines of communication with customers, keeping them informed on status updates, conformed copies and notifications of any rejections. 
• Handle client emails and calls related to eFiling and court requests with a hospitality mindset. 
• Monitor jobs on multiple databases to ensure timely status and fulfillment.
• Review and acknowledge special instructions and/or additional customer requests and ensure these are followed appropriately.
• Develop a solid understanding of filing requirements in the jurisdiction(s) covered. 
• Handle customer inquiries and escalations quickly, escalating to appropriate relationship owners when necessary.
• Maintain accurate and concise notes of customer and vendor interactions.
• Close and invoice customer requests.
