Business Development Manager Opportunity

I'm recruiting a Business Development Manager for a leading global offshore law firm, on a fixed-term contract of just under a year. It's a London-based role covering the firm's EMEA offices across Europe, the Channel Islands, and the Middle East, with one BD Coordinator reporting to you and a line into the global marketing and BD lead.

It's a fixed-term role, so the ask is realistic: you won't be reshaping strategy or BD plans from scratch. That said, strong experience in those areas, and a track record of delivering against them, is what will set you apart.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities:

• Managing RFP and panel submissions, from content and document prep through to follow-up
• Running the directory submissions process for your offices and practice areas
• Handling award submissions for your practice areas, alongside marketing
• Managing signature events, sponsorships, and conferences from start to finish
• Developing practice and office overviews and keeping the master versions current for clients
• Providing input on comms: mailshots, website content, newsletters, blogs, and presentations
• Identifying and promoting cross-selling opportunities across practices and jurisdictions
• Researching key clients and target markets to brief partners on the opportunities
• Assisting lawyers with client presentations, from content and rehearsal to production and follow-up
• Championing use of the firm's CRM and coaching the lawyers on it
