What are they looking for?
You’ll need previous BD experience within professional services, ideally from a law firm, with a strong understanding of the legal market and a genuine interest in the Debt Finance space. They’re looking for someone who is commercially minded, confident working with senior stakeholders and able to operate strategically whilst still being hands-on. Strong project management, communication and organisational skills are essential, as is the ability to build trusted advisory relationships with partners. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced BD professional who wants to take ownership of a high-profile global practice and work as part of a truly international team.
