A major global law firm with a sector-driven and technology-focused approach, needs an established Business Development professional with a relentless passion for driving improvements and efficiencies to join their dynamic team in London.
The successful applicant will be joining a future facing firm who take a bold and agile approach to ensure their clients are able to face the future with confidence. The firm readily embraces the possibilities technology opens up for developing new and better ways of working. They aim to inspire, impact and support both clients and their employees, helping them to maximise their potential and thrive. The Marketing Operations & Project Manager will enjoy a multifaceted role delivering technology projects, acting as the business facing champion for a number of key systems, as well as putting in place and managing processes to support the firm's existing technology and business development activities. You will drive and deliver your own projects from scoping and design to implementation and will also work closely with the Head of Marketing Operations and the Senior CRM Technology Development Manager to build out the required processes needed and support on other projects in the team as required. Collaborating with colleagues in the Marketing Operations team and wider BD function, you will identify and create processes that support both the BD and Marketing technology stack and the overall objectives of the team and function. In addition, the role holder will be responsible for developing and putting in place content guides for both the pitch process and eMarketing.
With a proactive and can-do approach, the ideal candidate will have a background in Business Development in a law firm, preferably having worked previously as a BD, Pitch or Client Development Manager or in a Change function, to include demonstrable success working on marketing infrastructure and operations projects and supporting a change process. A detail oriented and problem solving team player, the Marketing Operations & Project Manager must be highly organised and enjoy juggling competing priorities and be able to build relationships, influence and drive change across a business. A strong ability to understand business context and present practical solutions in a language that resonates will also be essential.
