Are you ready to step into a role that puts you at the cutting edge of innovation in the legal world?
We're partnering with a forward-thinking firm on the hunt for a dynamic Business Development Manager to join their trailblazing Innovation department.

This team thrives on curiosity, creativity, and collaboration. With a strong emphasis on strategic thinking and client-centric solutions, you'll be right at the heart of shaping the firm's approach to emerging industries and new legal challenges.
What's in it for you?? High visibility with senior stakeholders - become a trusted advisor to partners and key clients? Variety like no other - from IP to esports, your remit is broad and stimulating? A people-first culture - collaborative, ambitious, and packed with opportunity? Influence and autonomy - own projects, innovate, and drive ideas forward
You'll be doing things like:
-
Building and delivering strategic BD plans with commercial impact
-
Crafting compelling client comms, thought leadership and standout pitches
-
Collaborating with Knowledge Lawyers, PR agencies, and wider BD teams
-
Coaching fee-earners on marketing best practice and client relationship development

-
A proven BD Manager (or Senior Executive ready for a step up) from legal or professional services
-
A natural communicator, confident in building relationships at all levels
-
Commercially sharp, organised, and excited by innovation
-
A self-starter who thrives in a fast-moving, collaborative environment
If you're passionate about driving growth, love working in a progressive environment, and want to be part of a business that's actively redefining what's possible for its clients - this is the one for you.
