We are partnering with a leading law firm with a global client base to recruit a Project Manager to join their London office on a 12 month FTC. The Marketing & Business Development (MBD) team is central to elevating the firm's profile, enhancing client engagement, and supporting business growth. The role involves helping to deliver high-quality initiatives that align with the firm's strategic priorities, improve processes, and drive impact across the organisation. While the initial focus will be on supporting the Patent Litigation team, the role will also offer opportunities to work across other legal practice groups and Business Services teams.

The Responsibilities

• Lead and deliver end-to-end Marketing & BD projects, including campaigns, client programmes, digital initiatives, and events.
• Serve as a key link between Partners and BDMs, translating requirements into clear plans and ensuring strategic, high-quality delivery.
• Support Patent Litigation Partners with targeted BD initiatives, tools, and campaigns to strengthen client engagement.
• Collaborate with practice groups and business services teams to deliver integrated, strategic firm-wide initiatives.
• Define project scope, timelines, and milestones, monitor progress, report to stakeholders, and manage risks and resource needs.
• Drive best-practice project management, coordinate external suppliers, and contribute to continuous improvement across the MBD function.

The Candidate

• Proven experience in project management (ideally within professional services or marketing/BD), with strong organisational and multitasking skills, and a commercial, strategic mindset.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, able to influence senior colleagues and build strong cross-functional relationships.
• Collaborative, proactive, and detail-focused, with an interest in technology or Life Sciences (particularly patents) considered beneficial but not essential.
