Linklaters is a global law firm, with 31 offices in 21 countries worldwide.

Linklaters is a people business. Being best in class in the eyes of our clients means that our people must be exceptional.

We look not only for brilliant minds, but for people who will thrive in our environment: people who love working collaboratively and demonstrate the innovative, efficient, agile, entrepreneurial, and responsible mind-set we aim to bring to every interaction.

Ours is an environment of outperformance. We achieve this not with targets and incentives, but by fostering a positive, supportive, fair, and open atmosphere.

• Collaborate with the Strategic and LGS Pitch Teams to define and deliver tasks that drive innovation and improve pitching effectiveness.

• Lead pitch improvement projects, coordinating resources, managing timelines, and communicating outcomes to stakeholders.

• Act as the technical lead for pitch-related automation, AI, and digital content, working closely with BDM Operations and Marketing teams.

• Analyse pitching processes, tools, and resources to identify areas for enhancement and support implementation of improvements.

• Research external trends and innovations in pitching, providing insights and recommendations to challenge and evolve internal practices.

• Support the development and maintenance of digital pitch content, ensuring alignment with firmwide strategy and tools.

• Review and interpret client pitch feedback data to identify patterns and inform future improvements.

• Foster collaboration across BDM and business teams to embed best practice and drive continuous improvement in pitch delivery.

What we're looking for:

• Proven experience translating operational challenges into clear technical requirements and leading global teams to deliver solutions.

• Strong project management skills with a track record of implementing best practice processes across complex, international environments.

• Familiarity with automation and GenAI tools relevant to pitching and business development, alongside experience in digital content creation.

• Solid understanding of pitching methodologies, with strong analytical skills to assess and improve systems, tools, and processes.

• Confident communicator with a proactive approach to stakeholder engagement and internal collaboration.
