Business Development Coordinator - Special Projects

We are a Firm where people truly believe in what they do and strive to achieve the highest standards of performance and success.

The Business Development Coordinator primarily supports and enables the Corporate, M&A and Securities (CMAS) Section’s Business Development team, including the team’s operations, efficiency, and data infrastructure. This is an early- to mid-level marketing and business development role responsible for supporting defined projects and initiatives with increasing autonomy. The Coordinator takes ownership of work streams, helps maintain and improve the processes and systems that support the Business Development team, and engages with attorneys as needed to gather information and enable business development workflows.

In addition to core business development coordinator responsibilities, roughly half of the role will focus on AI enablement, data operations, and process automation. The ideal candidate brings curiosity and an aptitude for leveraging AI-enabled tools and workflow automation to drive efficiency across all aspects of the role. This role bridges execution and strategy with a technology-forward orientation; deep business development or legal domain knowledge is not required on day one, but the candidate should be able to press go on AI projects and learn business development through the lens of operational efficiency.
