About Our Client

Our client is a premier global law firm with a presence in over 40 countries across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific. They are dedicated to excellence in legal representation and the professional growth of their team, fostering a high-performing, client-centric culture. As a values-driven organization, they prioritize positive workplace relationships and provide extensive development opportunities for their business professionals.

The Opportunity

The Sector and Clients Manager is a vital leadership role designed to drive strategic growth initiatives for an immediate three-month project. Reporting to the Sectors & Clients Senior Manager, this mid-level professional will collaborate with sector leadership and attorneys to identify, develop, and pursue client growth opportunities. This position is ideal for a "business development-first" professional who can work with minimal supervision to drive go-to-market strategies that result in measurable revenue growth.

The Location

This is a remote position; however, candidates must be located within the East Coast Time Zone and be commutable to a local office if required.

What You Will Do

• Develop and drive sector-specific annual strategic plans focused on growth in partnership with leadership.
• Identify new business opportunities, manage the pipeline, and lead client targeting initiatives.
• Create thought leadership and content-driven marketing campaigns that demonstrate deep industry understanding.
• Partner with Pursuits and Pricing teams to shape strategic RFP responses and develop "win themes."
• Build and maintain sector-specific marketing materials, digital content, and pitch decks.
• Scope, plan, and execute high-impact sector events, including roadshows, webinars, and conference sponsorships.
• Collaborate with the Communications team to amplify sector presence across media, legal directories, and digital channels.
• Utilize AI-driven BD tools (such as CoPilot) and data analytics to monitor growth and assess ROI.
• Assist in the onboarding and integration of lateral hires, focusing on cross-selling strategies.
• Supervise and mentor team members, providing regular performance feedback and coaching.

Who You Are

• Experience: Minimum of 6 years of marketing or business development support experience specifically within a law firm environment.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree required, preferably in Communication, Marketing, Journalism, or a related field.
• Technical Skills: Proficient in AI tools (CoPilot), Outlook, SharePoint, MS Office Suite, and CRM systems.
• Industry Knowledge: Specific experience working with legal directories (Chambers) and a solid understanding of various legal practice areas.
• Communication: Exceptional interpersonal skills with the ability to build rapport and gain the trust of senior attorneys and internal stakeholders.
• Soft Skills: Strong business acumen, excellent organizational skills, and the ability to handle sensitive information with complete discretion.

The Ideal Candidate is a proactive, multifaceted professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is comfortable "wearing many hats." You possess a unique blend of legal industry knowledge and business acumen, allowing you to transition seamlessly from high-level strategic planning to the hands-on execution of marketing materials and events. You are a self-starter who can work under pressure to meet tight deadlines while maintaining a professional demeanor and a focus on revenue growth.

Why Join the Team?

This role offers the opportunity to work at one of the world's most recognized legal institutions, contributing directly to strategic pursuits and key account growth. You will engage in high-impact work, leveraging cutting-edge AI-driven BD tools and shaping the strategy for major RFPs. While offering the flexibility of remote work within the East Coast, the firm provides a collaborative environment where you can mentor others and help lead cross-functional initiatives within a sophisticated professional services setting.
