Business Development Executive | National Purpose-Driven Law Firm | Hybrid

Want a BD role where you’re turning opportunities into real client relationships, rather than just organising the event?

This is a chance to join an ambitious, national law firm known for its work with purpose-led organisations. Its collaborative culture and strong values shape how it treats clients, communities and its own people, and it’s recognised as a national leader in its specialist sectors. You’ll join the Business Development & Marketing team and work closely with specialists across the firm.

The role

You’ll be the link between the firm’s sector teams and its marketing function. Your job is to keep growth plans on track and make sure no opportunity slips through the gaps. That covers event follow-up, client communications, sales enablement and pipeline support.

Day to day, you’ll:

• Own the follow-up process after events and webinars, tracking leads and keeping accurate records of actions and outcomes
• Attend sector team meetings, capture the BD actions, and pass priorities to the wider marketing team
• Build and maintain the firm’s sales enablement hub, including pitch decks, case studies and product sheets, and keep it current and easy for fee earners to use
• Respond to product enquiries quickly and professionally, and escalate complex queries or opportunities to the BD Manager
• Support the BD Manager with pipeline tracking, and help prepare monthly summaries of sector activity

What you’ll bring

• Experience creating and maintaining sales materials such as pitch decks, case studies and product sheets
• A working knowledge of CRM systems and document management tools
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• A proven ability to capture actions from meetings and make sure they get done
• Comfort working with data and pulling out insights for pipeline tracking and reporting
• Strong organisation and attention to detail, including sharp proofreading to keep content on brand
• A collaborative, solutions-focused approach that is both creative and analytical

Experience in a similar role within a law firm or professional services business would be a bonus, but it isn’t essential. There are several different offices across the country including Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Cambridge or Bath and the role can be based from any of them. 

Why this one?

You’ll get broad exposure across the whole BD & Marketing function, which is a great base for your next step in professional services BD. The firm offers hybrid working, is open to flexible arrangements and puts wellbeing and development at the centre of how it supports its people. It also holds several recognised commitments on wellbeing, inclusion and accessibility.

Benefits include:

• Competitive salary plus profit share
• Private medical insurance
• Life assurance (4x salary)
• Pension scheme
• 28 days’ holiday plus bank holidays
• An extra day each year for CSR activity
• Cycle to work scheme
