Business Development Executive (15 month fixed-term contract)
Business Development & Marketing
We’re looking for a Business Development Executive to join our team in Aberdeen on a 15-month fixed-term contract. You’ll support our Energy sector team in delivering a range of BD and marketing initiatives to support strategic business objectives.
No two days will be the same - you’ll help support sub-sector groups and the delivery of strategic projects, support with client targeting and market research, create marketing materials including credentials, blogs and newsletters, and assist in delivering bespoke events.
You’ll work across all levels of the team, collaborating with junior lawyers through to partners, in a team known for its exceptional talent and cutting-edge client work across the UK and internationally.
We’re looking for someone with experience in a similar fast-paced environment who thrives on balancing multiple tasks and taking ownership of their work. If you’re a self-starter eager for a new challenge, we’d love to hear from you—apply now! Full details can also be found in our job specification.

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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

It means freedom to pursue a philosophy of always being human in attitude and high-performing in approach. For our people that means recognising everyone is different and valuing those differences. A culture that celebrates openness and where genuine advice and relationships are championed. An environment that encourages everyone to aim for success by being the best version of themselves.
And because we value the contribution that every one of our team makes, we make sure everyone is rewarded over and above the usual benefits you'd expect from a leading law firm. That means bonus schemes for all employees, family friendly policies that are stand out in the market, and a range of health & wellbeing initiatives that take a holistic approach to supporting colleagues.
We set the bar high. Our clients and people love that.
