I'm working for a leading law firm, on an exclusive basis, who are seeking a Client Development Manager to join its dynamic Business Development team, focusing on its high-profile Financial Services (FS) clients.

* Partner with Relationship Partners and client teams to develop and execute strategic account plans.
* Be the driving force behind client intelligence sharing, market insight generation, and cross-sector opportunity spotting.
* Lead initiatives that bring the full breadth of the firm's expertise to clients, ensuring relevance, value, and long-term partnership.
* Collaborate with BD colleagues to create client-centric campaigns and propositions that respond to market developments.
* Champion best practice in relationship development, working with central teams to refine tools, processes, and systems.
What’s needed:
* Proven experience in client relationship management or business development within a legal or professional services environment.
* A strategic thinker with a commercial mindset and a track record of driving revenue growth.
* Excellent communicator and collaborator, able to build trust and influence at all levels.
