Law.com is one of the most recognised and trusted destinations for legal insight, news, and intelligence in the US market. With strong demand from international law firms, corporates, and professional services clients, we are now expanding the Law.com proposition into EMEA with dedicated focus, resource, and ambition.
This is a pivotal new role within the Practice Area Subscriptions division. The Business Development Manager will spearhead Law.com’s entry into EMEA as a standalone revenue line—building pipeline from scratch, shaping the GTM approach, and acting as the commercial bridge between the US Law.com team, Marketing, Product, and Revenue Operations. This role combines strategic commercial thinking with hands‑on new business execution and will evolve into team leadership as we scale.
Role Purpose
To drive net‑new subscriptions for Law.com across EMEA by building a repeatable sales motion, engaging senior stakeholders across the region, and positioning Law.com as an essential intelligence platform for legal and business decision‑makers. The role blends proactive outbound activity with structured GTM development, representing the first dedicated EMEA Law.com revenue hire.

- Deliver high‑quality product demos, proposals, and commercial negotiations with confidence and precision.
- Represent Law.com at events, conferences, and client meetings across relevant EMEA territories (occasional travel required).
- Work closely with the US Law.com leadership team to ensure alignment on product positioning, messaging, pricing, and roadmap implications.
- Collaborate with Marketing to build a region‑specific pipeline acceleration plan: campaigns, content, events, lead routing and nurture.
- Partner with Revenue Operations to define forecasting rhythms, pipeline quality standards, and reporting requirements.
- Provide market intelligence (competitive, sector, persona‑level insights) to shape EMEA product‑market fit and GTM evolution.
Internal Collaboration & Future Leadership
- Work with Customer Success and Account Management to ensure seamless onboarding and handover for all new wins.
- Document and refine a repeatable sales methodology tailored to EMEA market nuances.
- Contribute to hiring plans, process design, and onboarding frameworks as the team expands—positioning the role for future management responsibility.
- Act as an internal subject‑matter advocate for Law.com across the wider Practice Intelligence group.
Skills Knowledge and Expertise
- Proven track record of B2B new business sales, ideally within legal, compliance, information, SaaS, or media intelligence sectors.
- Exceptional communication, negotiation, and presentation skills with the ability to “own the room” across senior audiences.
- A disciplined and highly self‑motivated approach to prospecting, pipeline generation, and deal progression.
- Experience managing multi‑stakeholder sales cycles, including procurement, legal, and technical review.
- Comfort operating autonomously in an early‑stage market environment—resourceful, structured, and commercially creative.
- Exposure to launching products or propositions into new geographic regions.
- Understanding of law firm and corporate legal department buying behaviours across EMEA.
- Familiarity with CRM best practices, forecasting standards, and outbound sales methodologies.
