A highly regarded regional law firm is looking for its first Chief Technology Officer, a genuinely exciting opportunity to shape the firm's technology and data strategy from board level at a time when the legal sector is being reshaped by AI.

Reporting directly to the Senior Partner and working closely with the senior leadership team and board, you'll set the vision rather than manage the day-to-day, with a Head of IT Operations in place to run the department while you focus on where technology can genuinely move the needle. That means leading on reviewing, updating and implementing plans for the firms tech infrastructure as required,  Generative AI adoption across drafting, research and administrative efficiency, building out a robust data governance framework, and championing a firm-wide digital literacy programme so fee-earners and support staff alike are getting real value from the tools available to them.

This is a role for someone who can operate comfortably at board level, translate complex technical thinking into plain English for partners and stakeholders, and bring people along on a journey of genuine cultural change, not just technological change. You'll need serious credibility as a senior IT leader, ideally gained within legal or another regulated professional services environment, along with strong project governance experience and a track record of delivering AI or data-led initiatives that have made a tangible difference.

If you're looking for a role where you can genuinely shape the technology direction of an ambitious, forward-thinking firm, rather than simply keeping the lights on, this could be the one.

This is a rare opportunity for a Business Development Manager to take ownership of the business development agenda within a growing specialist consultancy. The scope of the role extends well beyond delivery, offering direct access to senior leadership, exposure to strategic decision-making and the opportunity to shape the firm's approach to business development as it continues to expand.

This is an opportunity to lead the firm's most strategic bids, pitches and panel tenders, working directly with partners and senior stakeholders on opportunities that have a real impact on the business.

Why apply?

Newly created position due to growth

Highly visible role with direct access to senior leadership

Lead the firm's most important and high-value pursuits

Opportunity to shape strategy, not just manage submissions

Act as deputy to the Head of Pursuits

Mentor and develop others within the team

Collaborative, high-performing culture

Hybrid working and flexible location in Bristol or Edinburgh

What you'll be doing

Leading complex bids, panel tenders and strategic pursuits from qualification through to presentation

Working with partners and business development teams to develop winning strategies

Creating compelling, client-focused proposals and pitch materials

Challenging stakeholders and adding commercial insight to strengthen submissions

Managing multiple high-profile opportunities at once

Supporting the Head of Pursuits with team leadership and best practice

Experience leading complex bids, pursuits or strategic proposals

Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills

Ability to work with senior leaders and challenge constructively

Excellent writing and proposal management experience

A commercial and strategic mindset

Experience within legal, professional services, consultancy, financial services or another quality-led environment

You do not need to come from a legal background.

If you enjoy working on high-profile opportunities, influencing senior stakeholders and helping win business in a fast-paced professional environment, this is an excellent opportunity to step into a senior, highly visible role with real scope to make an impact.

This is not a traditional sales role. You will not be expected to personally bring in new clients. Instead, you will lead the team that helps partners and client-facing teams do business development better.

The role

You will help turn the firm’s growth priorities into clear plans, practical tools and better ways of working. This could include improving how teams identify opportunities, manage pipelines, prepare for client conversations, use CRM and follow up on activity.

You will work closely with senior stakeholders across sales, marketing, client development and operations, helping teams focus on the right clients, use the right messaging and build better habits around winning work.

Key responsibilities

• Create simple, practical business development plans that support growth.
• Help partners and teams build stronger pipelines and convert more opportunities.
• Develop tools, templates and guidance that make BD easier and more consistent.
• Coach and support teams on best practice.

• Lead and develop a specialist business development enablement team.

What we’re looking for

You may come from business development, sales enablement, client development, pursuits, proposals, commercial operations or a wider growth role. Professional services experience would be helpful, but the key requirement is the ability to influence senior people, improve ways of working and help teams become more commercially effective.

This would suit someone who enjoys bringing structure, clarity and momentum to business development activity, and who can balance strategic thinking with practical delivery.

Why apply?

This is a visible role with real influence. You will be helping shape how the firm approaches growth, working with senior stakeholders and building a function that supports better business development across the organisation.

If this role isn't quite the right one for you, but you know someone who would excel in it, why not take advantage of our referral programme?
