Our client, a leading global law firm with an exceptional reputation for excellence and innovation, is seeking an experienced Strategic Pitch Manager to join their London office on an initial 3-month contract. This is a unique opportunity to take ownership of high-impact, high-priority panel and matter pitches on a global scale.
Acting as a trusted recruitment partner to this international legal powerhouse, we’re looking for a driven, collaborative professional who can manage the end-to-end lifecycle of strategic pitches—from initial client briefing through to submission, presentation, and post-pitch feedback.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the delivery of complex, high-priority panel and matter pitches across global markets.
- Own the full pitch lifecycle: briefings, proposal documentation, presentation prep, and post-pitch analysis.
- Develop tailored pitch strategies based on client needs, relationship dynamics, competitive landscape, and firm capabilities.
- Project manage each opportunity effectively, ensuring stakeholder contributions are timely and deliverables meet or exceed expectations.
- Engage with senior stakeholders across business functions and legal practices to shape compelling, client-focused proposals.
- Draft original content as needed; tailor existing material to reflect the client’s specific opportunity.
- Conduct research into prospective clients, competitors, and broader market trends to inform strategy.
- Support post-submission debriefs, collate feedback, and contribute to continuous improvement of pitch processes.
Candidate Profile
- Demonstrated experience managing the pitch lifecycle in a professional services environment—ideally legal, but other sectors considered.
- Strong multi-project and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to adapt quickly in high-pressure situations.
- Proven ability to produce winning proposals that reflect commercial understanding and client insight.
- Confident in stakeholder engagement and relationship management at all levels.
- Excellent communication and editing skills; able to craft bespoke, client-focused content that stands out.
- Skilled in market research, competitor analysis, and post-pitch performance evaluation.
- Highly collaborative with a proactive, solutions-driven approach.
Qualifications
- Degree-qualified in marketing, business, or a related discipline. Postgraduate or professional qualifications in leadership or marketing are desirable.
The Team
You’ll join a high-performing Strategic Pitch function that sits within a globally integrated Business Development & Marketing (BDM) team. The team is collaborative, dynamic, and aligned with the firm's broader strategic goals. With a focus on innovation, client service excellence, and growth, the BDM function partners closely with lawyers to drive business outcomes and elevate market positioning.
