Business Development Manager
Position Summary:
This position partners with leading the Real Estate, Finance and Banking Practice Group including the Long-Term Care & Senior Housing and Environmental teams to deliver high-impact business development initiatives that strengthen client relationships, drive revenue, and enhance market visibility.

Key Responsibilities:
Serve as the primary business development partner to assigned Practice Groups, managing initiatives from concept through execution
Collaborate with attorneys to develop, implement, and track Practice Group business plans
Support client growth by identifying targets, strengthening relationships, and enabling cross‑servicing—not selling
Lead RFPs, pitches, and presentations, coordinating with attorney teams and managing timelines and deliverables
Develop and maintain practice collateral, brochures, website content, experience database, and attorney bios
Manage legal directory submissions, rankings, and surveys
Partner with Marketing Communications on media opportunities, advertising, and profile‑raising initiatives
Coordinate events and sponsorships and represent the Firm at select business and community events as requested
Attend and participate in Practice Group meetings and retreats; report on initiatives and results.
Assist with business development budgeting, tracking, and reporting
Facilitate planning, implementation, and follow-up for new business opportunities
Actively support cross-servicing between Practice Groups
Strategize with Practice Group Leaders and the Marketing Technology Team on digital marketing initiatives
Work closely with Business Development Coordinators on day-to-day projects and to provide coaching and mentoring
Support lateral attorney integration within assigned Practice Groups
Monitor market and industry trends to help position the Firm competitively
Travel to offices across the firm footprint and to Practice Group and Firm events as requested

Sales professionals looking for quotas, commissions, or client origination credit
Candidates seeking pure event planning or marketing communications roles
