BD & Marketing Recruitment - Professional Services Sector

An ambitious, high-performing litigation boutique is looking for a confident and hands-on 'first in post' BD & Marketing Manager to take ownership of its growing profile and client development activity.

Founded just five years ago, the firm has already built a reputation for high-value international disputes and complex litigation. With a strong referral base (notably from leading chambers), a visible presence on LinkedIn, and regular participation in key market events like London International Disputes Week, this is a business that punches above its weight—and is ready for someone to take the reins and drive forward its next phase of growth.

The Role

You’ll work directly with the founding partner and Head of Operations to:

• Lead on BD strategy, research, pitches and targeting
• Organise international BD trips and ensure meetings and follow-ups are well prepared and tracked
• Own marketing delivery across digital, campaigns, legal directories, social media, and CRM
• Plan and manage events – from breakfasts to dinners to flagship litigation conferences
• Build processes that scale – from content calendars to feedback loops and SEO improvement

What They're Looking For

• Experience in a law firm or chambers is essential – boutique or mid-size experience is a plus
• A “muck-in” mindset – this is a full 360 role, from strategy to delivery
• Confidence working with senior stakeholders and managing competing priorities
• Knowledge or experience in contentious legal markets a bonus
• Someone who’s ready to grow with the role – with plans for future support as the firm expands

The Package

• Hybrid working: 3 days in office (minimum)
• 25 days’ holiday + 10 extended WFH days annually
• Enhanced maternity package
• A genuinely collaborative, agile team – with senior buy-in and room to shape the function
