Description

Join a growing team of marketing and business development professionals in a collegial and collaborative law firm. The Marketing & Business Development Coordinator reports to the Marketing & Business Development Manager and works closely with the Marketing & Business Development team and other internal teams to support the execution of the firm's marketing, business development, communications, and event initiatives.

This role spans four core areas of responsibility: event coordination and scheduling logistics; marketing communications and content development; departmental tracker and data management; and general operations and administrative support. The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple ongoing projects and deadlines simultaneously, while also producing polished, professionally formatted content that adheres to the firm's brand standards. This role plays a critical supporting function within the department, maintaining order across a wide range of moving parts — ensuring the right details are tracked, deadlines are met, and nothing is overlooked.

Success in this role requires strong written and verbal communication skills, sound judgment, and the ability to work independently in a professional services environment. This person will interact regularly with attorneys, business professionals, and external contacts across varying levels of seniority and must bring both precision and professionalism to every deliverable.
