Job description

BD Assistant / PA | London | c. £40,000 | Hybrid 3:2

Want a role that’s equal parts PA brilliance + creative BD energy?

This is the PERFECT hybrid position for someone who’s incredibly organized, naturally proactive, switched on and wants to stretch beyond standard PA duties.

I am working with an international US law firm that is looking for a bright, enthusiastic BD Assistant / PA to support their Senior BD Specialist, a role that gives you that gorgeous mix of PA + business development exposure.

This is NOT "just admin". This is the chance to:

• Get stuck into firmwide BD activity
• Learn how the business actually wins work
• Grow your skillset far beyond traditional PA work
• Support someone senior (and genuinely lovely) in the BD function
• Be the trusted "right hand" who keeps everything running smoothly

What they’re looking for:

• A Legal PA or Legal admin who’s proactive & switched on
• Someone detail‑obsessed (seriously - this matters most!)
• Great communicator, organised to the MAX, Microsoft Office savvy
• Interested in the commercial / BD side of the firm
• Keen to learn, grow & get involved

Why this is exciting:

Because BD assistants don’t often get this level of exposure & mentorship – this is a real "career building" role for someone who wants more than the usual.

The package:

• c. £40,000
• Hybrid 3:2
• Genuine room to develop & progress within BD

📌 If you’ve got the attitude, the detail‑focus and the drive then this firm will absolutely invest in you.

This is where an organised PA can step sideways into something bigger – and have FUN doing it.
