Recognition Manager
An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Recognition Manager to join the global Marketing team of a leading international law firm.
This is a highly visible, strategic role with responsibility for proactively strengthening the firm’s reputation through its global awards and legal directories strategy. It would suit someone who combines outstanding writing and editorial skills with strong project management and the confidence to work closely with senior partners and leadership across an international business.
You will :
- Lead the development of sophisticated awards submissions, identifying the strongest matters, lawyers and stories to showcase.
- Interview senior lawyers and translate complex work into persuasive, engaging written submissions.
- Manage awards projects from nomination through to drafting, approvals and submission.
- Oversee external consultants and maintain exceptionally high editorial standards.
- Act as a strategic adviser on Chambers and Legal 500, including submissions, rankings and evolving market best practice.
- Manage key relationships with major legal directories.
- Work with Communications colleagues to maximise the impact of awards and rankings successes.
We're particularly interested in speaking to people who:
- Are exceptional writers and editors, with the ability to turn complex legal matters into engaging, persuasive narratives.
- Can confidently interview and advise senior partners and other senior stakeholders.
- Have strong project management skills and are comfortable managing multiple complex submissions and deadlines.
- Bring excellent judgement, attention to detail and discretion.
This is not simply a submissions-management position. It offers the opportunity to take a more strategic view of how a global law firm builds recognition for its practices, lawyers and clients, while remaining close to the writing and storytelling that underpin successful submissions.
