Business Development Manager

Position Summary:
This position partners with leading assigned Practice Group(s) to deliver high-impact business development initiatives that strengthen client relationships, drive revenue, and enhance market visibility.

This is a non‑sales role —no quotas, no cold calling, and no responsibility for client origination. The focus is on strategy, project ownership, and delivering results.

Key Responsibilities:

Serve as the primary business development partner to assigned Practice Groups, managing initiatives from concept through execution

Collaborate with attorneys to develop, implement, and track Practice Group business plans

Support client growth by identifying targets, strengthening relationships, and enabling cross‑servicing—not selling

Lead RFPs, pitches, and presentations, coordinating with attorney teams and managing timelines and deliverables

Develop and maintain practice collateral, brochures, website content, experience database, and attorney bios

Manage legal directory submissions, rankings, and surveys

Partner with Marketing Communications on media opportunities, advertising, and profile‑raising initiatives

Coordinate events and sponsorships and represent the Firm at select business and community events as requested

Attend and participate in Practice Group meetings and retreats; report on initiatives and results.

Assist with business development budgeting, tracking, and reporting

Facilitate planning, implementation, and follow-up for new business opportunities

Actively support cross-servicing between Practice Groups

Strategize with Practice Group Leaders and the Marketing Technology Team on digital marketing initiatives

Work closely with Business Development Coordinators on day-to-day projects and to provide coaching and mentoring

Support lateral attorney integration within assigned Practice Groups

Monitor market and industry trends to help position the Firm competitively

Travel to offices across the firm footprint and to Practice Group and Firm events as requested

Who Should Apply:

Law firm BD professionals with experience supporting attorneys

Candidates who thrive in project management, execution, and strategic planning

Professionals who enjoy influencing without selling and partnering with senior stakeholders

Detail‑oriented self‑starters who can manage multiple initiatives simultaneously

Individuals comfortable working in a high‑accountability, professional services environment

Who Should Not Apply:

Sales professionals looking for quotas, commissions, or client origination credit

Candidates seeking pure event planning or marketing communications roles

Entry‑level marketers without law firm or professional services experience

Anyone who prefers loose structure or minimal accountability

Why This Role Stands Out:

High visibility with Practice Group leadership

Strategic, consultative work with real ownership

No sales pressure—this role is about enabling attorney success
