The role
You'll be the senior point of contact for one or more of the firm's focus sectors, owning the marketing and BD plan and budget for a group of departments. Day to day that means leading BD meetings with Partners and fee-earners, spotting opportunities and hot topics with the marketing team, running thought leadership campaigns, managing department events and conferences, and supporting directory and award submissions.
It's a holistic role. You'll be happy leading the market planning, but equally happy rolling your sleeves up to get campaigns, pitches and on-brand assets delivered. Plenty of autonomy and responsibility, genuine support from the wider team, and the chance to coach and mentor junior colleagues.
What they're looking for
- 3-5 years' Marketing and BD experience at Executive level, ideally within professional services or a law firm
- Experience leading marketing and BD plans and budgets, working directly with Partners and fee-earners
- Prior experience in a BD-focused role, including managing events and projects
- Strong attention to detail and consistently high-quality output
- Good time management and the ability to prioritise a varied, fast-paced workload
- Established stakeholder management experience, with a flexible, proactive, can-do approach
