  • Prepare and coordinate pitch materials, capability presentations and RFP responses
  • Assist with the production of marketing materials including presentations (PowerPoint), firm communications, and practice group content
  • Support thought leadership initiatives

Requirements

  • Proven experience in a BD role at a law firm
  • Manager-level track record, with demonstrable examples of independently owning and driving BD programs
  • Exceptional organization skills and a task-oriented mindset
  • Strong written communication skills
  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving, high-growth environment
  • Available to work US Eastern Time hours preferable

Nice to have

  • Experience in corporate or transactional practice group BD
  • Proficiency in PowerPoint and Word

  • Hands-on experience using AI to improve BD workflows
