Role overview

Introduction to the role:

This is a full mix role, providing proactive business development and marketing support to the Business Services Group (BSG).

You will work closely with the BSG Business Partners and BSG fee earners as well as drawing on specialist skills from within the Business Development and Marketing (BD&M) team and other parts of the firm, co-ordinating these individuals so the fee earners receive a single point of liaison and a ‘joined up’ service and delivery.

You will have an important role in supporting the delivery of business development and marketing activity to a growing part of the business, where you will hold key relationships with internal clients - dealing with fee earners in all our UK offices. The work is fast paced and varied and brings an excellent opportunity to continue to learn and apply your marketing and relationship skills.

Our Business Services practice is a substantial group with more than 270 dedicated lawyers. As a full-service practice, we offer expertise across property, commercial litigation, corporate and employment matters.

You will be part of the BD&M team and will report to the BSG Business Partner. Although the focus of this role is to be a point of contact for the BSG all members of the wider BD&M team are expected to support the work of the wider business development and marketing plans and other parts of the firm as needed.

Key responsibilities:

Relationship and Stakeholder Management

• Assisting the BSG Business Partner with drafting, developing, and implementing marketing plans.
• Facilitate the execution of plans through communicating with and effectively briefing activity to the wider BD&M team.
• Acting as a key point of contact on day-to-day marketing between the wider BD&M team and the fee earners, providing a joined-up service and delivery.

Day-to-day Marketing

• Co-ordinate smooth delivery of the agreed BSG marketing activity calendar including events, sponsorships, awards, e-newsletters and articles briefing the wider BD&M team and liaising with fee earners as appropriate.
• Ensure website, intranet and other BSG marketing collateral are up to date and fit for purpose.
• Build relationships with external bodies, such as conference organisers.
• Working as part of a team to coordinate the Legal directory submissions.
• Work closely with BSG Business Partner to ensure a smooth new partner induction and onboarding process
• Support BSG on cross-Business Group marketing and BD initiatives.

Reporting and MI

• Support BSG Business Partner to prepare and issue a monthly MI pack to the BSG senior management team.
• Working with the BSG FEs and other BPs to manage a consistent structured approach to the measurement and reporting on results and ROI outcomes for marketing activities.
• Ongoing reporting on progress against plans, communicating effectively and regularly with key stakeholders to manage expectations and gain input as appropriate to ensure progress

New Business and Client Development

• Work with CRM team, BSG Business Partner and BSG fee earners to cleanse and maintain client and non-client data and marketing lists, facilitating the process between BSG and BD&M

Campaigns and Project Management

• Work closely with BSG Business Partner to provide assistance on marketing projects and campaigns as required.

What are we looking for:

• Experience in a similar marketing role, within legal services or another professional services firm
• Excellent organisational skills
• Ability to prioritise and manage time effectively
• Effective communication and people skills
• Attention to detail
• Ability to work under pressure and to meet deadlines
• Positive, proactive and can-do attitude and approach
• Flexibility in approach and a willingness to work outside normal office hours, if required and to travel to the various UK offices on an agreed regular basis
