A Marketing and Business Development Manager role for a leading US law firm with a significant presence in Europe. This role is a good opportunity to work closely with a group of partners that need an advisor to help them grow their business internationally. The firm is well established in the European market and works with some prestigious international organisations.

Focused on the firm’s financial services group, you will be responsible for working with the partners to create business plans and client development activities that will underpin the firm’s ambitious and exciting growth plans. Key responsibilities will include executing marketing and business development campaigns that will engage both targets and existing clients including white papers, events, training, online tools, pitches, website, brochures and client newsletters. You will also be involved with client relationship management and it is imperative that you take a proactive approach in identifying market trends, client needs and opportunities for the firm to ensure that the firm not only wins new work but retains existing clients and cross sells into those key clients.

Applicants must have gained a strong background in marketing and business development in a law firm (or wider professional/financial services), and be able to demonstrate a track record in having lead projects, coached the partners through winning new work and have seen business development plans through from inception to completion. Your strong influencing skills will stand you in good stead when it comes to getting your ideas implemented and encouraging the partners to be more proactive.
