* Work with departmental heads to identify key target clients and growth opportunities.
* Strengthen market awareness of our capabilities and value proposition.
* Equip and empower lawyers to act as business development ambassadors.
* Collaborate with partners and leaders to set annual revenue targets and translate them into actionable plans.
* Lead a high-performing marketing team to deliver data-driven strategies and measurable results.
* Adopt a culture of accountability and proactive risk management across the firm.
* Maintain strategic oversight of client and prospect relationships, supporting pitches and presentations as needed while enabling lawyers to lead these engagements.
What We’re Looking For

* Strong strategic thinking and execution skills.
* Ability to influence and collaborate across all levels of the business.
* A data-driven approach to marketing and business development.
Experience and Skills Required

* High levels of tact, diplomacy, discretion, and emotional intelligence; able to navigate ambiguity and differing viewpoints within a partnership environment.
* Strong consensus-building capability, able to bring together diverse perspectives and establish shared goals.
* Proven experience enabling successful sales through others, whether by leading teams or supporting professionals in client-facing roles.
* Solid knowledge of core marketing disciplines relevant to a medium-sized organisation (digital and social marketing, event management, pitch materials, campaign execution).
* Demonstrated ability to set targets, hold others accountable, and manage delivery against agreed objectives.
* Experience in the legal sector is beneficial but not essential.
Benefits and Development
* 30 days annual leave plus all UK bank holidays.
* One day for your birthday each year (or closest working day).
* Additional annual leave on Christmas Eve (1 full day) and New Years Eve (half day PM) if these days fall on a contracted working day.
