About us

Linklaters is a global law firm, providing legal services in 20 countries and through 30 offices. Linklaters is a people business. Being best in class in the eyes of our clients means that our people must be exceptional. We look not only for brilliant minds, but for people who will thrive in our environment: people who love working collaboratively and demonstrate the innovative, efficient, agile, entrepreneurial, and responsible mind-set we aim to bring to every interaction. Ours is an environment of outperformance. We achieve this not with targets and incentives, but by fostering a positive, supportive, fair, and open atmosphere. We respect and value difference but insist on inclusivity. We celebrate all aspects of diversity and challenge any form of bias. This is vital to our ability to work as one team, with a common goal.

The Role

We are looking for a BDM AI Enablement Senior Manager to lead the strategic development, governance and adoption of artificial intelligence across our Business Development and Marketing (BDM) function.

Working closely with stakeholders across BDM, Technology and Data, you will drive the practical application of AI solutions that enhance productivity, streamline processes and deliver measurable business value. This highly visible role combines strategic leadership with hands-on delivery, ensuring AI capabilities are embedded into day-to-day ways of working while establishing the foundations for sustainable, long-term adoption.

Reporting to the Director of BDM Operational Excellence and Planning, you will play a key role in shaping the future of AI-enabled business development and marketing within a collaborative and globally connected team.

Your Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the development and delivery of the AI Enablement strategy for the BDM function, ensuring alignment with firmwide technology, data and business priorities.
  • Act as the business owner for BDM-led AI initiatives, setting priorities, driving adoption and ensuring the effective governance and delivery of measurable business value.
  • Develop and maintain a clear AI roadmap for BDM, identifying opportunities to improve productivity, streamline processes and embed AI into day-to-day operations.
  • Partner with Technology, Data and business stakeholders to shape firmwide AI capabilities, ensuring BDM requirements are represented and prioritised within key AI platforms and solutions.
  • Establish and manage AI governance frameworks, service catalogues, prompt libraries, agent libraries, standards and best practice guidance to support sustainable adoption.
  • Drive engagement and uptake of AI tools through effective change management, communications and role-based training programmes that build confidence and capability across the BDM community.
  • Monitor adoption, user feedback and performance metrics, producing meaningful reporting that demonstrates business impact, productivity improvements and return on investment.
  • Act as the recognised AI subject matter expert within BDM, fostering a network of AI champions and promoting a culture of innovation, continuous learning and responsible AI use.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Be alert to fictitious job opportunity posts and offers of employment which claim to be in the name of Linklaters. We have been made aware of various recruitment-related scams which ask for upfront payments, for example, for office equipment and promise start up bonuses and reimbursement in return for such payments. These scams often involve the use of email addresses similar to a genuine domain name. Genuine emails from Linklaters only use the domain of “@linklaters.com”. We will never ask you to make payments for office equipment or otherwise as part of our recruitment process. If you are in doubt about a job opportunity that appears to relate to our firm, please get in touch using the contact details on our careers website at www.linklaters.com/careers.

In the event that we make an offer to you, and where local legislation permits, we will conduct pre-engagement screening checks that may include but are not limited to your professional and academic qualifications, your eligibility to work in the relevant jurisdiction, any criminal records, your financial stability and references from previous employers. Your offer will be subject to the successful completion of these checks which will be initiated following your consent.

As a responsible business, it is important that we represent the diversity of our people, our clients and our communities. We know that diversity makes us a better law firm and helps us attract the best talent, drive innovation with diversity of thought, and deliver the best experience to everyone who comes into contact with us. We recruit on the basis of merit, irrespective of age, disability, gender, gender identity, race or ethnicity, marital status, religion, sex, sexual orientation or any other status protected by the laws or regulations in the locations where we operate. Selection decisions, and the reasons for those decisions, are recorded at each stage of the selection process. Selection criteria and, where appropriate, technical skills tests are in place to measure an individual’s ability for the safe and effective performance of a job. Those involved in recruitment and selection decisions and processes are also provided with guidance on diversity issues.

If you require reasonable adjustments to be made during the selection process, please talk to a member of the recruitment team so that any required adjustments can be made in advance.

Specific experience requirements advertised on a role do not intend to preclude applications from candidates who may have more or less experience. Our intention is only to indicate a guideline as to the necessary skills for the role as described.
