Bristol, United Kingdom Leighton Taylor Consulting Full time

Based in either Bristol or Manchester, this is an exciting opportunity for an experienced and good humoured applicant with a positive outlook to join a fast paced, fast growing and forward-thinking law firm as a Business Development Manager.

The successful candidate will be joining a collaborative, supportive and open-minded environment and an ideal place to progress their career. The firm work with high profile clients in innovative sectors, and help employees to embrace opportunities to keep learning as the firm grows. The Business Development & Marketing team are instrumental in creating awareness of the firm’s brand to identify and win new business opportunities as well as delivering for existing clients. This involves establishing and nurturing relationships and using everything from events to media relations to tenders to explore new business ideas. Enjoying highly flexible hybrid working arrangements and a broad and varied role, the Business Development Manager will provide hands-on BD and marketing support to the firm’s award-winning Banking and Lender Services group and Financial Services sector. Working closely with the Senior Business Development Manager, you will be directly supported by BD Executives and will work collaboratively with the wider Marketing and Business Development team. You will become a trusted advisor to partners and other stakeholders on all aspects of business development and will be responsible for developing client relationships, winning new business and raising the firm’s profile. Managing annual BD budgets and providing BD and sales activity reports, you will actively manage a pipeline of targets, using campaigns to generate new business leads, and will lead the development of compelling proposals, bids and pitches. Tasked with the design and implementation of BD and client plans, you will be expected to develop your own network of intermediaries, targets and client contacts and use these to support both lead generation and relationship building activity. Building relationships with priority clients will be a key area of focus and you will also support the Client Relationships team in managing relevant client panels and frameworks. On the marketing side, the role holder will work with the Marketing & Communications team to develop campaigns positioning the firm as sector experts. You will also support the promotion of the sector through the firm's website, social media channels, email marketing, PR and internal communications and work with lawyers to draft legal directory submissions and relevant award entries.

Enthusiastic, confident, proactive, persistent and robust, the ideal candidate will be a bright graduate or equivalent with a proven track record working in business development and marketing, ideally gained within another law firm. Highly-organised and commercially-minded with a client-centric ethic, the Business Development Manager will possess outstanding interpersonal and relationship building skills and will be able to communicate and present clearly, concisely and credibly. Relevant financial services knowledge will also be highly advantageous.
