Business Development Executive

I'm very excited to be exclusively working with one of the most prestigious law firms in the world to find a talented and experienced Business Development Executive to join their growing team.

The preferred candidate will get the opportunity to join a high-impact team driving innovation and investment within the Emerging Growth and Venture Capital practice. You'll play a pivotal role in accelerating the firm's growth by unlocking business opportunities, forging new connections and developing the firm's industry presence. In addition, you'll collaborate across teams to execute smart cross-selling strategies to further the firms overall market share.

I would love to speak with individuals within the wider Professional Services industry, specifically those who have a depth of knowledge, experience, and network within the Emerging Growth and Venture Capital space. The preferred candidate must have at least 8 years of such experience in order to be considered for this opening.

• Oversees and optimizes the sales pipeline, collaborating closely with practice leaders, attorneys, and the marketing / business development team to drive strategic growth.
• Builds and nurtures high-value relationships with founders, venture capitalists, executives, and industry influencers to unlock new client opportunities in the emerging growth space.
• Guides venture-backed clients through key growth milestones, offering strategic advice on funding and connecting them with relevant investors and resources.
• Champions a proactive, client-focused culture, encouraging thoughtful strategies to deepen existing relationships and attract new business.
• Scouts market trends and competitive insights, identifying fresh leads and emerging opportunities to fuel pipeline development and boost conversion success.

I believe the current listed salary banding is competitive within the wider market, but I'd be more than happy to converse with candidates with varying salary requirements.
