Senior Business Development Manager

This is a role where you'll be trusted to run with things, working on high-profile transactions and partnering closely with senior stakeholders across the business. Practice-specific experience isn't essential, but previous law firm business development experience is.

Our client is a US-headquartered law firm. Despite its global platform, the London office has a collaborative and approachable culture, giving business services professionals genuine access to partners and the opportunity to make a visible impact.

You'll join the London Business Development team, led by an impressive director, and work closely with partners, counsel, associates, PSLs and analysts, as well as colleagues across Europe and the US. It's a highly visible role with plenty of exposure and the opportunity to build strong relationships across the firm.

The role offers a broad remit. You'll lead pitches and proposals, oversee rankings and awards submissions, manage flagship thought leadership initiatives, support PR and social media activity, and work with colleagues across practices and offices to identify opportunities and strengthen client relationships. You'll also play an important role in maintaining the BD infrastructure that supports these market-leading teams.

This is much more than a pitch-focused position. You'll be encouraged to bring ideas, work collaboratively and become a trusted member of the team. The firm values people who are proactive, organised and comfortable working with senior stakeholders across multiple jurisdictions. The environment is ambitious but supportive. Expectations are high, but so is the level of trust and autonomy. You'll be joining a firm where Business Development is highly regarded and where your contribution will be recognised.
