Senior Business Development Executive

Senior Business Development Executive | Birmingham | £40,000 - £42,000 | Hybrid

We're working with a leading national law firm to recruit a Senior Business Development Executive into their Birmingham office.

Our client is a well-established firm with roots dating back to 1841, ranked in the Legal 500 and Chambers UK across a broad spread of practice areas. The role sits in a close-knit Marketing and BD team covering the full mix: tenders and bids, business development, client development, events, digital, PR and marketing.

The role

You'll be the senior point of contact for one or more of the firm's focus sectors, owning the marketing and BD plan and budget for a group of departments. Day to day that means leading BD meetings with Partners and fee-earners, spotting opportunities and hot topics with the marketing team, running thought leadership campaigns, managing department events and conferences, and supporting directory and award submissions.

It's a holistic role. You'll be happy leading the market planning, but equally happy rolling your sleeves up to get campaigns, pitches and on-brand assets delivered. Plenty of autonomy and responsibility, genuine support from the wider team, and the chance to coach and mentor junior colleagues.

What they're looking for

3-5 years' Marketing and BD experience at Executive level, ideally within professional services or a law firm

Experience leading marketing and BD plans and budgets, working directly with Partners and fee-earners

Prior experience in a BD-focused role, including managing events and projects

Strong attention to detail and consistently high-quality output

Good time management and the ability to prioritise a varied, fast-paced workload

Established stakeholder management experience, with a flexible, proactive, can-do approach

The details

£40,000 - £42,000

Birmingham, hybrid, with a minimum of two days a week in the office

Some travel between offices and other locations for key activities and events
