We are currently recruiting for a Marketing and Business Development Executive to join our London team!
What are we looking for?
We are looking for a marketing and business development professional to support our lawyers in winning work from prospects, existing clients and intermediaries.
This is a varied and exciting role supporting our Business Division in Europe, with a focus on our charities, corporate and commercial real estate practice areas as well as certain sector groups. Unlike many other law firm marketing and BD positions, this role is not narrowly focused on pitch production although business development is a key component. This includes marketing and business development campaigns, winning new work and raising the firm's profile. Our client base is truly fascinating, and what makes us different is our dedicated focus on private capital and individuals. Because of the type of law we advise on coupled with the clients we work with, we have scope to run more engaging campaigns than elsewhere in the sector.
You will be confident talking to a range of people from senior partners to new joiners to other law firm management professionals. You will bring passion and enthusiasm to your work. You will be alive to opportunities and have the persistence and dedication to see ideas through to execution.
This position will be working very closely with the Senior Marketing and Business Development Executive and the Marketing and Business Development (MBD) Assistant for the European Business Division, as well as having regular interaction with the MBD Manager and Assistant for our Tech practice which also sits within the Division. As such, being a team player is essential and the right candidate should relish supporting those they work closely with.
