Business Development Manager

Are you a Business Development and marketing professional who would like to make an impact in a newly created Business Development Manager role within a firm that has ambitious growth plans?  Does hybrid working within a people focused, collaborative business sound good?
A brand new Business Development Manager opportunity has arisen at a leading professional services firm, where you'll have the chance to make your mark in various growing target sectors through developing and delivering Business Development and marketing strategies.  his is not a direct sales role, but you will be a "sales enabler", working closely with multi-disciplinary sector teams and the wider BD team, providing strategic advice to key stakeholders such as sector heads and fee earners to increase the firm's presence within these growth sectors.  Part of your role will also involve keeping updated with industry issues, trends, and competitor intelligence.
Your new Business Development Manager role will involve:

• Taking ownership of the creation, development and implementation of the BD and marketing strategy for specific sectors, reporting on progress
• Identifying market opportunities, the most appropriate clients for growth, and making recommendations on new products / services
• Working with fee earners to identify prospective clients, developing target plans and track progress using the CRM system

• Working with the data insight team to travel client data and monitor progress and ROI of initiatives
• Developing and implement multi-channel thought leadership campaigns that focus on lead generation
• Ensuring the effective use of the website, email marketing, media / PR, events and sponsorship
