About Kilburn & Strode
Kilburn & Strode is one of Europe’s pre-eminent intellectual property firms. We act for UK, US and European clients at the forefront of their sectors on their most challenging, business-critical IP matters – from EPO and Unified Patent Court proceedings to M&A due diligence, strategic portfolio management and high-value prosecution. We have offices in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands and the US.
We’re a certified B Corporation™ that looks forward, not back. We have a clear five-year strategy and an ambition to be the market leader in premium IP work by 2030. Our values – be curious, think commercially, act collaboratively, take ownership, make a positive impact – are not a poster on a wall. They shape how we work and who we hire.
The Clients and Markets Function
Our ambition for Clients and Markets is straightforward: to become the commercial engine of this firm’s growth. Not a support function. Not a planning exercise. A function that generates momentum, creates opportunities and helps the firm win the premium clients and work it deserves. The function covers both BD and marketing, and the two sides work closely together to deliver a coherent experience for partners, clients and contacts.
The Role
This is a broad, hands-on digital marketing role sitting at the heart of the Clients and Markets team. You will work closely with the Marketing Manager across digital channels, content production, analytics and campaign execution – making sure the firm’s marketing activity is well-produced, well-distributed and consistently on brand.
This is not a narrow specialist role. You will move between writing and editing content, managing social media, supporting campaigns, maintaining the website and producing reports on what is and isn’t working. You must be at ease switching between tasks, taking ownership of your workload and delivering to a high standard without close supervision.
The role suits someone with two to four years of marketing experience in a professional services environment who is ready to take on broader responsibility and develop across multiple disciplines. You will have direct access to senior marketing professionals and real exposure to how a commercial marketing function operates.

What We Need
Essential
- Strong writing and editing skills. You produce clear, well-structured content and you notice when something is not quite right. You take pride in the quality of your work.
- Good working knowledge of LinkedIn and digital marketing channels. You understand how social media works in a B2B context and have managed or contributed to a firm’s social presence.
- Organised and reliable. You manage your own workload, hit deadlines and follow through on actions without being chased.
- Comfortable with data and reporting. You can pull performance data from digital platforms, interpret what it means and present it clearly.
- A collaborative working style. You share information, ask when you are unsure and work well as part of a small team.
- Genuine interest in developing across multiple marketing disciplines rather than specialising narrowly at this stage of your career.
Desirable
- Experience managing or contributing to a website CMS – publishing content, updating pages and basic site maintenance.
- Experience with email marketing platforms – building campaigns, managing lists and reporting on performance.
- Familiarity with analytics tools such as Google Analytics or LinkedIn Analytics.
- Proficiency in Canva or Adobe design tools for producing simple social media graphics and digital assets.
- Experience with CRM or marketing automation platforms such as HubSpot.
Personal Attributes
- Curious and proactive. You spot things that could be better and you do something about it rather than waiting to be asked.
- Detail-oriented. You care about quality and consistency in everything you produce.
- Energetic and positive. You bring good energy to the team and take the work seriously without taking yourself too seriously.
- Ambitious. You want to further develop your marketing skills across multiple disciplines and see this role as a platform to do that.
- Comfortable with ambiguity. This function is still being built and priorities can shift. You adapt without losing focus.
