Most BD roles assemble the pitch. This one helps decide who to pitch. You’ll dig into clients, competitors and litigation activity to spot opportunities, then help attorneys act on them across several practice groups at once.

Opportunity-spotting, not just production. You’ll research targets, monitor litigation and bring recommendations to the table.
Breadth from day one. You’ll support multiple practice groups and work directly with attorneys across offices.
Your impact is measured. You’ll track pitch and proposal outcomes and turn the trends into better strategy.
A modern toolkit. CRM, business intelligence and AI platforms are part of the job.
Location and pay. Based in New York, New Jersey, DC or Chicago, with a salary range of $85,000–$115,000.

Research prospects, industries and competitors, and turn the findings into recommendations
Build tailored pitches, RFP responses and briefing materials
Spot cross-selling opportunities using CRM and market intelligence
Lead Chambers, Legal 500 and other directory submissions for your groups
Coordinate client events, webinars and content with the marketing team
You’ll Likely Have
3+ years of BD or marketing experience at a law firm or professional services firm (paralegal experience is a plus)
Strong research and analytical skills, plus writing that’s sharp under deadline
Comfort with CRM, reporting and AI tools
The confidence to manage multiple priorities with limited supervision
