Business Development Executive

We are recruiting on behalf of our client, a leading IP firm, in their search for a Business Development Executive.

The Role

We are seeking a commercially focused and adaptable Business Development (BD) professional to thrive in a fast-paced, intellectually demanding environment. This role involves supporting BD activities across practice groups and contributing to firmwide Marketing and Business Development (M&BD) initiatives.

• Research & Targeting: Build target lists and conduct research on markets, clients, conferences, events, and trade body involvement.
• Pitches & Presentations: Assist in preparing presentations, pitches, and tenders.
• CRM Management: Oversee BD-related aspects of HubSpot, including contact and data management, pipeline tracking, lead nurturing, and reporting.
• Content Development: Support the creation and management of materials like brochures, profiles, deal lists, case studies, and directory submissions.

About You

• Skills & Tools: Advanced MS Office skills, CRM experience (HubSpot preferred), and strong written communication with excellent attention to detail.
• Mindset: Commercially astute, client-focused, highly proactive, and organised.
• Collaboration: Strong team player with the ability to liaise effectively at all levels and navigate complex, intelligent environments.
• Ownership: Takes responsibility for tasks, sees them through despite challenges, and contributes ideas to improve outcomes.
• Adaptability: Comfortable in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment with competing priorities.
