Are you a proactive and driven Business Development Executive looking to make a real impact?

We’re looking for a Business Development Executive to join our team in Edinburgh or Glasgow, supporting our Banking & Funds and Technology & Commercial teams. You’ll play an important role in delivering and executing a range of business development and marketing initiatives across both practice areas.

No two days will be the same – you’ll manage and deliver business development and marketing projects, lead on delivering bespoke client-facing events, support with client and market research and create and update team sheets and credentials, proposals and presentations. You’ll work across all levels of the teams, collaborating with junior lawyers through to partners, and gain exposure to a broad range of clients and sectors across the UK and internationally.

We’re looking for someone with experience in a similar fast-paced environment who thrives on balancing multiple tasks, building strong relationships and taking ownership of their work. Experience within a professional services environment would be advantageous.

If you’re a self-starter looking for a new challenge and the opportunity to develop your career in business development, we’d love to hear from you – apply now!
