We have been named as one of The Times’ Top 50 Employers for Women, recognised by Stonewall as a top employer for LGBTQ+ inclusion, and by the Social Mobility Employer Index as a top employer for advancing social mobility.

We recognise that one size does not fit all. Our goal is to embed flexibility across our firm by giving everyone the opportunity to work in an agile way, whether as a regular pattern or on an ad hoc basis, and we will be happy to discuss this further.

We love hearing from anyone who is enthusiastic about changing the legal industry. Not sure you meet all qualifications? Let us decide! Research shows that women and members of other under-represented groups tend to not apply to jobs when they think they may not meet every qualification, when, in fact, they often do!

About the role:

You will lead the development and execution of business development strategies for our Financial Regulation Group (FRG), aligning with both the firm's and clients' strategic priorities.

• Collaborate with partners and stakeholders to drive sector strategy, cross-selling initiatives, and market penetration in key client areas.
• Create and maintain tailored sector and client growth plans in alignment with wider firm objectives.
• Produce compelling, high-quality client pitch materials and provide guidance on win strategies to secure key opportunities.
• Utilise market and client data, feedback, and trends to refine BD strategies and monitor emerging opportunities.
• Oversee pipeline management, ensuring efficient use of firm systems and processes to support revenue growth.
• Champion a collaborative approach, working closely with BD colleagues, lawyers, and other stakeholders to align efforts.

We are ideally looking for:

• Proven track record in business development and marketing, with substantial professional experience.
• Strong knowledge of the financial regulation sector.
• Success in working with senior stakeholders, gaining buy-in, and leading strategic initiatives.
• Demonstrable experience in producing persuasive, client-focused pitch materials under tight deadlines.
• Ability to leverage data-driven insights to identify opportunities and support decision-making.
• An adaptable, client-first mindset focused on growth and fostering client relationships.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, able to work effectively across different levels and teams.

This role is based at the Linklaters London office with a hybrid working model available.
