Open Positions

Are you looking to develop your business development experience in a fast-moving global business? Used to providing on-going business development support? We're looking for a new Business Development Coordinator to join our global Business Development & Marketing team, to be based in any of our UK regional offices.

You'll need to be self-motivated with excellent communication skills and a demonstrable understanding of marketing, business and client development practices. Experience in a similar role is desirable and an understanding of the legal environment would certainly be beneficial to the role.

Our Firm

Squire Patton Boggs is one of the world's strongest integrated law firms, committed to providing insight at the point where law, business and government meet. We deliver commercially focused business solutions to a diverse mix of clients, from long-established leading corporations to emerging businesses, start-up visionaries and sovereign nations.

With over 1,500 lawyers spanning more than 40 offices across four continents, the firm is renowned for its local connections and global influence, delivering comprehensive legal services across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Latin America. In the UK, we have offices in Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and London.

The firm is committed to promoting an inclusive and supportive working environment. Embedded by local champions in each of our UK offices, our well-regarded family and carer, wellbeing and DEI programmes provide a variety of flexible working options to support individuals' life journeys, helping our people pursue their personal and professional goals.

Our Team

Our global Business Development and Marketing team includes over 65 colleagues working together to provide frontline support and advice at a practice, industry and office level - much of the work being collaborative and international in nature.

Our Opportunity

Reporting into one of our Business Development Directors, the core focus for this role is to support our Corporate and Private Equity practices, working with key stakeholders in the groups to support business growth objectives, identify target opportunities, develop and coordinate business development plans, and work with related teams to grow the firm's business base.

Our Corporate team is thriving, and has grown significantly in recent years. This is a great opportunity to work with key clients in an exciting area of the business, and play a role in high profile pitches. You'll work alongside senior members of the team, both in the UK and globally, to hone your BD skills, and will have the opportunity to work with our newly-opened offices in Dublin and Amsterdam as they continue on their growth journey.

This role is varied and will require you to perform other ad-hoc duties and responsibilities as assigned. You will also be travelling to other UK offices, dependent on operational needs. You will be supported in your role by the resources of our events, marketing, communications and bids teams as well as the wider international team.

You

Due to the varied and busy nature of this role, you must have the drive to focus on a number of different projects and ensure that all deadlines are met so project management skills are essential. You will need to be a dynamic, creative and determined individual who can use their own initiative as well as working as part of a team.

A demonstrable understanding of marketing and client development principles are a must. This role can be busy and therefore a professional attitude and the ability to work under pressure is critical. You will ideally have experience working within a professional services organisation.

A CIM qualification would be desirable and you would preferably have 3-4 years' experience in a similar role.
