Maintaining credentials for the practice areas and collating capability statements
Producing first draft bids, proposals and pitches
Supporting the directory submissions process

Tracking progress on the group’s BD plans and ensuring follow up and actions following business development meetings
Coordinating a programme of client events, seminars and webinars
Supporting key client management and cross-selling initiatives with the wider firm

A bit about you

You must have a minimum of 2 years' experience of working in a BD or marketing function in a professional services environment or an environment related to this role.

In addition to this, candidates must be able to demonstrate the following:

Good desktop publishing skills, particularly PowerPoint and Word
Very good written skills, able to produce good quality first drafts
Good understanding of data analysis coupled with proficient use of Excel
Excellent organisational and time management skills with the ability to work to deadlines and stay calm under pressure

Proactive and self-sufficient with the ability to take ownership and manage certain tasks with limited guidance

Personable and confident, able to build relationships with partners and other key stakeholders

A flexible and can-do approach, willing to provide support across other areas when required

A team player who is analytical, tenacious and self-motivated

Good attention to detail with the ability to multi-task

Who are we looking for?

We don't have a type. We believe our differences are our strength; varied cultures, approaches and experience can only benefit us.

What do we offer?

You can be yourself: It takes everyone to make us who we are. We’re a culture of diverse perspectives, with each of us making unique contributions that make us better together.
In the office or WFH?: We think the best balance is more time in the office than at home, so we operate a 60:40 rule.
Beyond salary: We offer plenty of benefits; private medical insurance, health cash plan, dental insurance, life assurance, critical illness insurance, matched pension contributions up to 7%, holiday trading, plus many more. Visit: Reward & Benefits ¦ Fieldfisher.

Modern Office Space: Located in the iconic Titanic Quarter with excellent commuter links and parking nearby.

Nurturing your talent: Take a 'build a career' approach to your training. You'll be on a pathway but free to wander if you see something you'd like to study more closely.

Funnel your interests: You have a life outside work, and we can help it to flourish. Join clubs, affinity networks, inclusive events, and pro bono/charity initiatives.

Inclusion is not exclusive:

If all our differences are highlighted, no one stands out for being different. At Fieldfisher, all our rich diversity is celebrated.

We will provide the equipment to allow you to shine, at interview and beyond. Just let us know what you need.
