Client Development Manager - Financial Services

Are you a strategic relationship builder with a passion for client development? Do you thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where your ideas and insights can shape the future of key client relationships?

I'm working for a leading law firm, on an exclusive basis, who are seeking a Client Development Manager to join its dynamic Business Development team, focusing on its high-profile Financial Services (FS) clients. This is a true client development and account management role - not just internal coordination - offering the opportunity to work directly with senior stakeholders and make a tangible impact on client growth and retention.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Own and grow relationships with a portfolio of key FS clients across the firm's global network.
• Partner with Relationship Partners and client teams to develop and execute strategic account plans.
• Be the driving force behind client intelligence sharing, market insight generation, and cross-sector opportunity spotting.
• Lead initiatives that bring the full breadth of the firm's expertise to clients, ensuring relevance, value, and long-term partnership.
• Collaborate with BD colleagues to create client-centric campaigns and propositions that respond to market developments.
• Champion best practice in relationship development, working with central teams to refine tools, processes, and systems.

What's needed:

• Proven experience in client relationship management or business development within a legal or professional services environment.
• A strategic thinker with a commercial mindset and a track record of driving revenue growth.
• Excellent communicator and collaborator, able to build trust and influence at all levels.
• Comfortable navigating complex client structures and working across multiple jurisdictions.
