Join Goodwin’s Global Operations Team, and make a real impact on a global scale. At Goodwin, we work with some of the world’s most successful and innovative investors, entrepreneurs and disruptors in the life sciences, private equity, real estate, technology and financial industries, and where they converge. As part of the Global Operations Team – all business professionals at the firm – you’ll collaborate with colleagues from varied backgrounds and experiences, fostering an environment where cross-functional learning, networking, and collaboration are at the core of what we do.

Here, we’re not just supporting a law firm; we’re partnering with attorneys and clients to deliver cutting-edge solutions in high-stakes litigation and dispute resolution, world-class regulatory compliance and advisory services, and complex transactions. Our commitment to integrity, ingenuity, agility, and ambition drives us, and we’re proud to have been recognised as the “Best Business Team” by The American Lawyer.

This is your opportunity to grow professionally in a dynamic, global environment, surrounded by forward-thinking peers.

We are seeking a Client Development (CD) Assistant to support our Healthcare Industry Group. This role contributes to high-impact projects such as proposals, events, thought leadership, marketing collateral, web and bio updates, surveys, and rankings, while collaborating with attorneys, client development professionals, and firm staff at all levels.

What You Will Do:

• Pitches & Proposals: Support the preparation of pitches, proposals, and RFP responses by collaborating with CD teams and attorneys to ensure materials are accurate, compelling, and tailored to client opportunities.
• Content & Collateral Management: Maintain and update marketing materials, including group descriptions, brochures, client decks, client alerts, web content, attorney bios, and internal databases.
• Reporting & Analytics: Generate reports on business development metrics, pitch activity, and event performance to support strategic planning and leadership reporting.
• Research & Competitive Intelligence: Conduct research on industries, clients, and prospects to provide insights for client and prospect meetings, pitches, proposals, and other business development efforts.
• Accolades & Rankings: Assist in preparing submissions for surveys, league tables, directories, and rankings. Coordinate partner interviews and gather information to support recognition opportunities.
• Events & Webinars: Provide support for in-person and virtual events, including invitations, pre-event planning, on-site staffing, post-event follow-up, and lead tracking in collaboration with CD and Marketing teams.
• Thought Leadership: Help monitor industry developments and assist in identifying opportunities for thought leadership campaigns, supporting related projects and initiatives.
• Client Development Initiatives: Support key client development initiatives, execute strategic plans, facilitating cross-functional collaboration, and ensuring alignment with overall business objectives.
• Technology & Tools: Develop working knowledge of key firm platforms (e.g., iManage, Microsoft Dynamics, Foundation) and stay current on business development tools to enhance efficiency and reporting capabilities.
• CRM Management & Data Integrity: Assist in maintaining and improving the accuracy of client data in the CRM system (e.g., Microsoft Dynamics), including contact updates, activity logging, and data clean‑up efforts.
• Other Responsibilities: Provide additional client development and marketing support as needed to advance business objectives.

Who You Are:

• BA, BS, or equivalent.
• Some experience (co-op, internships, entry-level experience) in client development or marketing, and in a professional services environment strongly preferred.
• Effective and professional written and verbal communication skills.
• Positive attitude with the ability to think objectively and work both independently and collaboratively.
• Ability to manage multiple projects while prioritizing assignments effectively.
• Ability to build rapport and strong working relationships with attorneys and professional staff.
• Strong organizational skills with meticulous attention to detail.
• Excellent writing and editing skills.
• Advanced in MS Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and web-based research; experience with Foundation, Microsoft Dynamics, or other CRM tools is a plus.
