Marketing Business Development Manager - Corporate Finance

An elite transatlantic law firm with a prestigious global reputation and a multi-billion dollar transactional footprint is looking to appoint a Business Development Manager to drive growth across its premier corporate finance and securities practices. Advising many of the world's leading investment banks, private equity sponsors, and major corporations on complex, high-stakes financial transactions, the firm is defined by a culture of collaborative excellence, intentional growth, and market-leading expertise.

Operating from its flagship New York office, this pivotal position will partner directly with senior leadership and practice heads to formulate and execute high-impact commercial strategy, elevate market presence, and secure new client instructions in an increasingly competitive global market.

Reporting into the Director of Business Development, and managing one direct report, the successful candidate will own the day-to-day commercial development strategy for the firm's core finance and securities teams. This involves translating complex deal structures and financial capabilities into sharp, highly persuasive value propositions, pitch frameworks, and targeted proposal responses for key decision makers across investment banking, asset management, and corporate borrower networks.

The role-holder will work closely with senior partners to cultivate individual client development plans, facilitate comprehensive market and competitive intelligence, and ensure seamlessly coordinated pitch execution from initial briefing through to post-pitch debriefs. Additionally, the role encompasses driving key visibility initiatives, including high-profile thought leadership campaigns, event sponsor ships, directory submissions, and the management of public league table reporting and deal intelligence systems.

The ideal candidate will bring extensive commercial marketing & business development experience gained within a sophisticated professional services environment, top-tier law firm, or from financial services. They will possess a solid baseline understanding of debt, equity, and high-yield capital markets transactions, coupled with an intuitive grasp of how to engage key institutional audiences such as issuers, underwriters, and private equity sponsors.

A proven track record of influencing senior stakeholders, orchestrating pitch win strategies, and leading end-to-end commercial project life cycles is essential. Demonstrating strong tech literacy across commercial research and business development platforms, the successful candidate will be a proactive, highly organised communicator adept at translating complex financial and legal solutions into articulate, compelling narratives under fast-paced, high-expectation conditions.
