ITC Federal, LLC (ITC) connects technology advancements in automation and AI, customer experience, and financial services to solve government mission challenges, enabling smoother operational efficiency and bolstering national security. We leverage the latest technology innovations and proven approaches to better serve the mission and support the DHS, DOJ, and DoW workforce, customers, and programs, regardless of scale or complexity. ITC is located in Fairfax, VA and offers an outstanding compensation and benefits plan and a challenging and rewarding professional work environment.

We are seeking an experienced Courtroom Presentation Specialist to support ITC Federal’s work for the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) under the anticipated MEGA 6 automated litigation support (ALS) program. This is a fully remote position supporting DOJ’s complex litigation mission.

Important: This opening is being established in connection with the MEGA 6 contract vehicle award itself.

Accordingly, this position is full-time and contingent upon both contract award and the award of the applicable task order.

POSITION OVERVIEW:

Works with the trial team, including expert witnesses, to develop plans for trial or hearings using a courtroom presentation system.

PROGRAM CONTEXT:

This position supports the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) under the anticipated MEGA 6 procurement.

• The Courtroom Presentation Specialist needs to be a "jack-of-all-trades" capable of performing all trial and courtroom support functions, including equipment set up and troubleshooting, scripting, advising on graphics presentations, and courtroom operation of equipment.

• Authorized to work in the United States.
• Ability to work effectively in a fully remote environment.
• Must be familiar with standard courtroom presentation packages such as Trial Director and Sanction.
• Must have excellent oral communication skills.
• Must be able to work effectively as a team member in an extremely pressured environment.
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively with a trial team through the entire pretrial and trial cycle, identifying and scanning exhibits, scripting with the attorneys, setting up the courtroom, operating and troubleshooting the system in the courtroom.
• Must be able to travel for long periods of time.
• Must be able to work long hours for an extended period of time.
• Trial experience required.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
