The Position:

Our firm is seeking a full-time Business Development Manager with five or more years of experience who enjoys working both as part of a team and individually in a fast-paced environment. This position will support the firm's business development efforts by leading client and prospect relationship-building activities for select industry and client teams, performing client and market research, coaching attorneys on client development, coordinating legal services proposals, and engaging in other attorney and industry team business development efforts. We are a dynamic marketing team looking for someone to join us who enjoys strategic planning, coaching, and supporting the growth and success of our attorneys and industry teams. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated, rising professional to grow into a strategic, high-visibility role with real influence on the firm's business development success. This position will be based in our Seattle office and will require in-office presence but will include flexibility to work remotely on a regular basis.

The ideal candidate will be able to adapt to and work within the firm's client service-focused culture; have the ability to remain calm, focused, and professional and work with diverse personalities of attorneys, clients, and coworkers in a deadline-driven, high-expectation environment; and be able to work both independently and take direction. The candidate must also have strong oral, written communication, and organizational skills. A college degree is required, as well as a minimum of five years of experience specifically in a legal or professional services environment or related area.
