Job description

Legal Marketing & Business Development Manager – Technology Sector

Global Law firm, Washington, DC

Strictly Recruitment USA are working with one of the world’s leading international law firms on an exciting opportunity for an ambitious Marketing & Business Development Manager to help drive the growth of its global Technology sector. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who loves the commercial side of business development, enjoys working closely with influential partners and wants to play a meaningful role in shaping the direction of a major global practice.

Technology is one of the most exciting and rapidly evolving sectors in the legal industry, and our client is looking for someone who can spot opportunities, bring fresh ideas to the table and turn ambitious plans into results.

You’ll work directly with senior sector leaders, partners and international BD colleagues, helping to strengthen the firm’s position in the global technology market.

It’s a broad, high-profile role with plenty of scope to take ownership, influence strategy and get involved in genuinely interesting work.

Responsibilities will include:

• Developing and delivering strategic business development plans to support the growth of the global Technology sector.
• Working closely with senior partners to identify new clients, opportunities and areas for growth.
• Leading high-value pitches, proposals and strategic client initiatives.
• Driving thought leadership, marketing campaigns and profile-raising activities.
• Identifying emerging technology trends and translating them into commercial opportunities.
• Supporting major industry conferences, client events and sponsorship initiatives.
• Connecting partners and practices across international offices to develop new business.
• Acting as a trusted BD advisor to senior stakeholders across the firm.

We’re keen to speak with commercially minded BD professionals who have developed their careers within a law firm or similar professional services environment.

• At least 5 years' experience in marketing and business development.
• A strong understanding of how law firms win work, develop client relationships and grow their practices.
• Experience working directly with partners and senior stakeholders.
• Excellent pitching, project management and communication skills.
• A proactive, confident approach and the ability to spot opportunities others might miss.
• An interest in the technology sector. Previous experience supporting technology-related practices or clients would be a real advantage.

Quite simply, this is an opportunity to do more than manage the day-to-day marketing and BD activity of a practice. You’ll have the backing of a major international law firm, direct access to senior leadership and the opportunity to work across some of the most interesting areas of the global technology industry. Our client is investing in its future, and this position offers the chance to be part of that journey, with genuine visibility, responsibility and opportunities to develop your career.
