Business Development Manager – Private Client (Legal Sector)

Our client, a high-growth, entrepreneurial law firm, is seeking an experienced Business Development Manager to lead BD and marketing efforts across their Private Client offering.

This is a standout opportunity for a confident and strategic BD professional to step into a visible, hands-on role, partnering closely with department heads, fee earners, and the senior marketing team. You will be driving strategy, campaigns, client targeting, intermediary engagement, and profile-raising initiatives, while helping to unify a growing and high-performing Private Client team.

With high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and entrepreneurs at the core of their client base, this role requires someone with sharp commercial instincts, a collaborative mindset, and a deep understanding of the Private Client or wider professional services space.

Key highlights:

• Ownership of BD and marketing strategy for a major practice group
• Direct contact with partners and firm leadership
• Strong internal buy-in and appetite for change
• Visible, high-impact role with room to grow
• Hybrid working (3+ days in-office)
• Support from a BD Executive and external marketing resources

You might be a great fit if you:

• Have 7+ years in BD/marketing, ideally in legal or professional services
• Understand the Private Client world (or similar: family law, private wealth, immigration, etc.)
• Are both strategic and hands-on, with excellent project and stakeholder management skills
• Are a confident communicator and natural relationship builder
• Thrive in agile, growing environments with high expectations and lots of opportunity

This is an exciting time to join a firm making bold moves, investing in BD, and reshaping how they go to market. If you’re ready to take the reins and make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you.
