About Legal 500
Legal 500 is a global legal market research, data, and intelligence business. Our research helps corporate clients make informed decisions about legal representation and gives law firms insight into their market position, performance, and clients.
Beyond research, we’re building a growing data, benchmarking, market-intelligence, and subscription service offering. We bring the legal market together through a global programme of events - awards ceremonies, conferences, and roundtables that convene leading law firms, in-house teams, and their advisers. And through Legal Business, our journalistic title, we deliver independent news, analysis, and commentary on the business of law and the strategy, performance, and leadership of the world’s leading law firms.
We are a growing, multi-site organisation, with colleagues working across research, data, technology, product, journalism, commercial, and events in London, Leeds, and Bristol.
What You'll Be Doing
This is a brand new role within Legal 500, and we see our new Events Marketing Lead as being responsible for leading the marketing strategy for our global portfolio of events.
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.
We see the core accountabilities for this role as driving audience growth, including the expansion and engagement of Legal 500's General Counsel and senior in-house counsel communities. You'll also help drive growth in summit delegate registrations, awards participation, and customer engagement across the events portfolio.
In addition, you'll lead/manage our Delegate Acquisition and Events Media functions, helping to ensure alignment across all marketing and acquisition activities.
Ultimately, this role is about ensuring consistency and integrity in our event marketing, digital platforms, community engagement, and customer touchpoints. It is about ensuring audiences have a seamless and engaging experience from event discovery through to registration, attendance, and ongoing community engagement.
What We're Looking For
- Experience leading a marketing function in a B2B Events business, ideally one that caters to Corporate or Professional Services markets (Legal, Finance, Technology, or comparable)
- Ability to develop and deliver marketing strategies that drive audience growth with a strong understanding of audience acquisition, segmentation, and customer engagement
- Proven ability to lead, develop, and motivate high-performing teams - in particular, we're looking for experience in managing managers
- Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence and collaborate across functions (particularly Group Marketing, CRM, Data, and the wider Events function)
- Comfort in ambiguity, Legal 500 is in a state of change and modernisation - there is huge scope to make an impact fast, but we can't promise the journey there will be linear!
- Commercial mindset - experience supporting revenue growth through audience development and lead generation
- Experience with CRM systems, marketing technology, and event platforms
- Understanding of GDPR, data governance, and digital customer journeys
