We are working with a highly regarded London law firm that is looking to appoint an experienced Business Development & Legal Directories Executive.
The immediate priority for this role is to take ownership of the firm’s legal directory submissions, so previous hands-on experience managing Chambers, Legal 500 and similar submissions is essential.
This would suit someone who has spent at least two years working directly on legal directories within a law firm or professional services environment and who understands the full submissions process from planning and information gathering through to drafting, coordinating referee feedback, managing deadlines and working with Partners and fee earners.
Alongside directories, the successful candidate will also support the wider business development and marketing function, including campaigns, events, client development activity, CRM, pitches and broader practice support.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
