We are partnering with a prestigious global law firm to appoint a senior Business Development professional to lead the marketing and business development strategy for its US Real Estate practice.

This is a high-profile opportunity offering significant exposure to firm leadership and the chance to influence strategic growth initiatives across the US platform, while working closely with senior stakeholders based in New York.

Key responsibilities include:

• Developing and executing client growth and targeting strategies aligned to the firm's broader objectives, ensuring effective management of strategic client relationships while promoting a client-centric approach across the practice.
• Creating and delivering initiatives that enhance the profile of the Real Estate practice and its lawyers through targeted events, thought leadership campaigns, conferences, sponsorships, media engagement, and other business development activities designed to strengthen market presence.
• Identifying emerging opportunities across the real estate sector and supporting the pursuit of new business opportunities, including high-value panel appointments and RFP responses, in collaboration with the firm's global proposals and pitch teams.
• Monitoring developments and trends across the real estate market, providing commercial insights, market intelligence, and strategic recommendations to practice and firm leadership.

The firm continues to experience strong growth across its global network and has built a reputation for investing in its people. The Business Development leadership team is committed to supporting professional development and creating clear long-term career progression opportunities.
