Job Description
We're looking for a talented Client Relationship and Business Development Executive to support our CR and BD Managers, working directly with lawyers and clients as a key part of our Client & Marketing team.
The Role
As a Client Relationship and Business Development Executive, you'll work alongside and support the CR and BD Managers (BDMs) in a frontline role, working directly with lawyers to support their requests, whilst also operating as part of a close-knit Client & Marketing team. 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.
What You'll Be Doing
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.
