This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a background in business development within a law firm or wider professional services environment. You'll work closely with Partners and senior lawyers to drive growth across key sectors and markets, providing both strategic direction and hands-on support.

The Role

As Business Development Manager, you'll play a key role in developing and delivering initiatives that strengthen the firm's market position, enhance its reputation, and increase revenue. Working alongside Partners, you'll lead on all non-procurement pitch activity and pricing proposals, applying your commercial understanding and creativity to identify and secure new opportunities.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Developing ideas and initiatives to enhance the firm's reputation and engage board-level clients and prospects
• Creating and implementing campaigns and thought leadership activity in collaboration with the marketing team
• Supporting Partners and lawyers in producing compelling content and key messages for use across multiple channels

• Contributing to business planning, setting clear objectives and marketing initiatives aligned to target sectors

As part of the wider BD team, you'll also support on strategic bids, preparing tailored information and contributing to written submissions and presentations.

About You
