Job description

We’re looking for an organised and detail-oriented Marketing Executive to support our sponsorship activity, business development plans, events calendar, ‘offline’ advertising and finally to help support the business in our goal of becoming the most reviewed law firm in England.

You’ll spend time with the leaders of our legal service areas, from Family Law to Clinical Negligence, to help advise on, and plan, our annual events calendar and business development plans, managing everything from venue bookings to the ordering of merchandise. You’ll keep a close eye on the market, flagging new events and possible opportunities we can integrate into the plan, and you’ll demonstrate the value that each of these events bring to our business.

Reporting to the Head of Brand, the Marketing Executive will also support our client feedback and research programmes, to make sure that client satisfaction and needs shape our strategy, positioning and communications. As part of our goal to become the most reviewed law firm, the role also incorporates supporting the Brand Manager in manging our review platforms, which will include making sure all reviews are responded to, reported on and looking at ways to increase the volume of reviews we receive month on month.

You’ll have the opportunity to support the marketing team more widely with content writing, offline advertising production, social media, PR and much more – so you’ll never be short of variety.

To succeed, you’ll need to leverage strong interpersonal skills to communicate effectively with our practice areas, and you’ll need to be a planner through and through, always putting in the work ahead of time to deliver seamless, value-adding experiences to all.
