Job Description:

The role requires a strategic and commercial mindset and ability to demonstrate a high level of initiative to translate emerging business issues and developments into opportunities for the practice.

We welcome applications from both Managers and Senior Managers for this opportunity.

• Campaign development and delivery:
  • Market research and horizon scanning to identify thought leadership and BD campaign opportunities.
  • Campaign development and delivery to achieve high BD activity for the practice and increase its profile in the market.
  • Project-management of the full cycle of practice campaigns providing insight into ROI and performance.
• Marketing activities and infrastructure:
  • Delivery of marketing activities and proficient use of marketing systems and processes for effective client outreach.
  • Creation, maintenance and distribution of the group's marketing collateral including brochures, intranet and website pages, social media posts, client alerts and practice newsletters.
  • Development of a reliable process and infrastructure in relation to the group's marketing activities, such as contact mailing lists, credentials database and the local use of the firm's CRM system.
• Co-ordination:
  • Cross-practice relationship-building and collaboration with international teams to identify key opportunities for involvement.
  • Supervision of the event planning to ensure BD ROI is tracked and opportunities identified and followed up.
  • Co-ordinate delivery of the group's RFPs, pitches, directories and award submissions.
  • Coordinate marketing activities in collaboration with international teams to deliver marketing collateral, ensuring it is on message and within brand guidelines
• Business Development skills development and training:
  • Strategic advice and ongoing development of lawyers’ BD knowledge and skills.
  • Business Development training for teams and individuals.

What We're Looking For:

• Degree educated
• At least 5 years’ experience of working in a BD and/or marketing managerial role within a professional services environment (ideally within a law firm)
