Our one firm global strategy is focused on targeted growth led by the needs of our core clients, those who we can best support with the breadth and depth of Clifford Chance expertise, across the sectors and geographies, which matter most to them.

You will find our clients in commercial and industrial sectors, the financial investor community, governments, regulators, trade bodies, and not-for-profit organisations. But no matter who they are or why they've reached out to us, we provide a world-class service every step of the way. And that's possible thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit and conscientious approach to work that you'll find across all of our teams.

Whichever area of the business you join, you'll become an integral part of an innovative, diverse and ambitious team of people. Clifford Chance is a place where the brightest minds and the best of colleagues meet.

The role involves supporting the Debt Finance group through the delivery and project management of business development, sales support, client focus and marketing initiatives. The key product group pillars consist of Leveraged Finance, Infrastructure Finance, Growth Markets, Fund Finance and Corporate Finance. In this role, you act as an interface between product group partners, working closely with the wider Global Financial Markets ("GFM") and Client & Market Development ("CMD") teams to facilitate the flow of information, highlight cross-selling opportunities and deliver top quality marketing and communications materials, capability statements and pitches.

This role requires the individual to deliver effective project revenue generation, shape the Debt Finance practice's business planning process, proactively spot opportunities and develop positioning statements to impact the pipeline, oversee the effective pursuit of opportunities, manage the cross-practice production of strategically significant RfP responses, pitches and credential statements, and take an external view to build profile and pipeline opportunities.

Qualifications include extensive experience of working in business development, ideally within the legal services sector or professional services, a track record of delivering across the full lifecycle of a pitch, well-developed influencing and presentation skills, and strong interpersonal and communication skills.

From your first day with us, you will have varied opportunities to continuously grow and develop your skills and knowledge. We offer unrivalled training through our Academy and operate a collaborative and supportive working environment where business development professionals are able to thrive in a team-based culture.

This role follows our 'balanced' hybrid working approach and as long as business needs allow, you will be supported to work in a hybrid way with the expectation of working from the office for a minimum of 50% of your time.

At Clifford Chance, we understand that our true asset is our people. Inclusion is good for our team and their families, our firm and society. We are committed to treating all employees and applicants fairly and equally regardless of their gender, gender identity and expression, marital or civil partnership status, race, colour, national or ethnic origin, social or economic background, disability, religious belief, sexual orientation, or age.
