I'm exclusively partnering with a prestigious global law firm that’s looking to add a Marketing & Business Development Manager to help drive the growth of its Sports, Media & Entertainment sector team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Legal or Professional Services BD professional to step into a highly visible global role with significant exposure to sector leadership and senior firmwide stakeholders. The position entails a unique blend of strategic business development and client development, providing the successful candidate with the opportunity to influence sector strategy, strengthen client relationships, and elevate the firm's market presence across a dynamic and evolving industry.
For candidates looking to move beyond traditional pitch management and pursue a broader strategic remit with genuine global reach, this is an excellent opportunity for you.
I’d be interested in speaking with professionals with significant client development or sector experience, preferably within a law firm setting. Beyond that, the successful candidate would have previously supported this sector before, ideally in a global team.
Core Responsibilities:
- Develop and execute the annual marketing and business development strategy for the Sports, Media & Entertainment sector, aligning initiatives with firmwide goals and growth priorities.
- Partner with sector leadership and key stakeholders to drive client engagement, identify growth opportunities, and support strategic business development initiatives across the global sector.
- Lead marketing campaigns, thought leadership initiatives, client events, seminars, webinars, and sponsorship activities designed to enhance market visibility and strengthen client relationships.
- Manage legal directory submissions, industry awards, and profile-raising activities while collaborating closely with PR and communications teams to promote the sector and key partners.
- Support key client programs by conducting client feedback initiatives, monitoring client performance, facilitating account management activities, and identifying cross-selling opportunities.
