About the role

We have an exciting opportunity for a marketing / BD professional to join our team as Marketing and Business Development Manager. This standalone role has the responsibility to deliver marketing activity to bring our brand story to life. You will help prospective and current clients, team members, and the wider community to understand who we are, what we stand for and what we offer.

You’ll take care of all things marketing for us. This will include firm and team profile management, digital marketing, website management, and running our social media. You will be responsible for design and development of collateral, distribution of articles, advertising and sponsorship, submissions to legal directories, organising client events, and management of marketing and BD supplier relationships. It’s a great blend of strategic and operational work, with a number of projects on the go at any one time.

You will help us to strengthen our business development efforts through a more systematic approach to the way we manage client relations and our BD cycle.  This will include identification and analysis of needs, RFP and pitch development, and ongoing client engagement and relationship management.

Across the role, there’s an expectation that you’ll use data and insights from our own activity, and from your understanding of contemporary marketing and business development practices, to inform recommendations and decision making.

About you

You will be a seasoned marketer, with part of your career having been spent in a legal, financial or other professional services business in a similar role. Managing stakeholder relationships is a strength. That, combined with your technical know-how, delivery focus and curiosity to deeply understand who we are and what we do will be a platform for building credibility and trust with partners, suppliers and the broader team.

You’re able to think strategically and execute operationally. You will bring creativity, commercial acumen and pragmatism. You can translate data into actions, drawing on your excellent communication skills, a keen eye for quality and an ability to manage project delivery.

You’ll be looking for a place that’s open and supportive, where you’ll be encouraged to collaborate and share your skills with our team.  You will use your knowledge and ideas to influence the way things are done for the benefit of our clients, the team, and organisations or initiatives we support.

HGM’s aim is to deliver quality outcomes for everyone. This means that you’ll be driven by pride in your work and an ambition that everyone (no matter how big or small) gets the benefit of your efforts.
