At Browne Jacobson, we've always worked across business and society, and with offices in Birmingham, Belfast, Cardiff, Dublin, Exeter, London, Manchester and Nottingham, you'll be joining a UK & Ireland based law firm with an international reach, where social and environmental impact sit at the top of our business agenda.

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.
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.
Business development support:
- Supporting BDMs on strategy, planning and reporting, including market and competitor analysis, pipeline management, and assisting with the development of pitches, capability statements and events to help raise the firm's profile in the market.
Collaboration and reporting:
- Collating monthly and yearly Executive reports, contributing to TMG board meeting reports, and collaborating with the wider Client & Marketing team and other operations teams to deliver effectively, whilst also challenging and making recommendations to BDMs where appropriate.
What we're looking for
Business development experience:
- Previous BD experience, ideally in a professional services environment, with the ability to work under pressure, demonstrating effective time and project management skills and the ability to manage conflicting timescales and priorities.
Strong communication skills:
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, a passion for detail, and a high standard of written output, with close attention to detail throughout.
A proactive, collaborative mindset:
- A consistently positive 'can do' approach, with the ability to work on your own initiative and as part of a wider team, acting as a credible and trusted advisor to the business, challenging constructively and making things easier for colleagues.
