About This Role:
This position acts as a go-to transactional lead for practice group business development and marketing projects and initiatives including, but not limited to, the implementation of strategic business development activities, responding to pitches/RFPs, and driving marketing initiatives like thought leadership and social media projects, increasing practice group and individual attorney visibility and marcom infrastructure projects like maintaining mailing lists and practice group descriptions.

This role also involves serving as the central point of contact for assigned offices.

Work with practice groups to monitor industry, sector and market trends, as well as competitor activity, to identify business development opportunities.

Events & Thought Leadership
Execute practice groups' visibility strategies with thought leadership and client-facing events.
Make recommendations on thought leadership and in-house programing. Work with practice groups to develop event concepts and create programing that demonstrates our ability to "look around corners" and inform clients on forward-looking issues.
Work with all members of the Client Development Department to build profiles for practice group and individual attorneys (internally and, as appropriate, externally) by publicizing victories, news items, events, and articles leveraging social media and other distribution platforms.
Helps to oversee the management of sponsorships and memberships for the Transactional Department and leads the evaluation and recommendation of sponsorships and memberships in assigned offices.
