This Business Development Manager role will work with some of the firm’s most senior and influential Partners in the UK and the US, and is a mix of BD and key client work to ensure relationships are being maximised on both sides of the pond! This role is very varied, strategic and interesting and will involve:

- Managing the referral program of cross-border work between the US and the UK offices.
- Coaching partners on their BD activities, focused on gaining referrals from our US client base
- Delivering profile and reputation enhancing campaigns to highlight cross-border capabilities.
- Working with the firm’s international offices to develop US-focused BD plans locally.
The successful candidate will have demonstrable experience of leading client development activities internationally, to generate referrals and ensure Partners are working collaboratively and keeping them ‘on-task’. You should also have strong interpersonal skills including diplomacy, flexibility and persuasiveness to engage with a range of internal stakeholders. You will ideally have worked in another law firm, and should have experience of working with the US.
