Key Responsibilities:

Maximize Current Customer Base: Leverage the firm's existing relationships to increase turnover, identifying opportunities to expand services and enhance customer loyalty.

Strategic Marketing: Develop and execute marketing strategies to raise the firm's profile with clients who may not yet be familiar with our services. This includes digital marketing, email campaigns, and creating a strong online presence, particularly in areas like Burnley, where competition is limited.

Self-Sufficient: Candidates should have a proven track record of generating their own work and managing client relationships independently.
Strategic Thinking: Ability to identify and implement business strategies that will increase client acquisition and retention, particularly through marketing and acquisition initiatives.
Collaborative: While independence is valued, a team-oriented approach is important. The ability to work well within a team and lead teams toward achieving growth targets is essential.
No Focus on Area of Law: We are not concerned about the specific area of law expertise, as long as the candidate brings the right skills and mentality to help drive growth.

A flexible and competitive salary structure with profit sharing.
Significant career growth opportunities.
The chance to shape the direction of the firm as we grow and potentially acquire other businesses.
