An established international law firm is seeking a Business Development Assistant to join its dynamic Marketing & Business Development team. This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious individual to gain broad exposure across business development, marketing communications, and client relationship management — while supporting two key practice areas and firmwide initiatives.
The Role
Working closely with senior members of the BD team, you’ll support the delivery of strategic marketing and business development plans, helping to drive client engagement and growth across the firm.
Key responsibilities include:
- Assisting with the implementation of marketing and BD campaigns and ensuring projects run to time and budget.
- Conducting client, market, and competitor research to identify new business opportunities.
- Supporting pitch preparation and credential materials.
- Leading on directory and award submissions for designated practice areas.
- Compiling newsletters and client updates, managing distribution lists, and tracking engagement through CRM tools.
- Supporting client events and seminars in collaboration with the events team.
- Assisting partners and fee earners with profile-raising initiatives, including website bios and LinkedIn profiles.
- Helping to produce marketing materials and press releases in collaboration with the communications team.
- Coordinating cross-selling opportunities and sharing internal communications between practice groups.
- Proofreading documents to ensure accuracy and alignment with brand style.
This is a hands-on role with excellent scope to learn and grow, offering exposure to every aspect of business development within a leading professional services environment.
About You
- Some experience in a marketing, communications, or BD support role (professional services experience an advantage but not essential).
- A genuine interest in business development and an eagerness to learn about legal practice areas.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong organisational and project management abilities.
- A proactive mindset with the confidence to work collaboratively across teams.
- High attention to detail and a polished, professional approach.
