Work with lawyers and Business Development to understand client objectives and develop tailored value propositions, win themes and supporting evidence.
Guide and contribute to drafting and editing executive summaries, service approaches, team profiles and experience statements, ensuring clear and persuasive responses.
Coordinate pitch presentations and briefing materials, supporting lawyers with key messages, presentation preparation and rehearsals.

Quality Assurance and Submission Management

Review proposals for accuracy, completeness, consistency and compliance with client instructions, evaluation criteria and submission requirements.
Coordinate review and approval of pricing, commitments and sensitive information with responsible lawyers, Finance, General Counsel and other stakeholders, as appropriate.

Proposal Content and Knowledge Management

Lead the development and maintenance of reusable proposal content, templates and pitch materials to support efficient, high-quality responses.
Partner with lawyers and the Business Development team to capture representative matters, client insights and practice-specific credentials for use in pitches and proposals.
Ensure proposal content reflects the firm’s voice, brand standards and market positioning while remaining tailored to each opportunity.
Develop compelling experience narratives and case studies that demonstrate relevant capabilities and client value, subject to appropriate approvals.

Proposal Systems and Reporting

Oversee proposal tracking and the use of content management and collaboration tools to maintain visibility into active pursuits, deadlines and team capacity.
Report on proposal activity, outcomes and trends to the Chief Growth Officer. Use client feedback, win/loss insights and process data to improve future submissions.

Internal Collaboration

Partner with Marketing, Business Development, Finance, Professional Resources, Information Technology and other teams to coordinate proposal inputs and supporting materials.
Build strong relationships with lawyers and business professionals to clarify pursuit objectives, secure timely input and maintain a coordinated, client-focused approach.

Build team capabilities in proposal strategy, persuasive writing, project coordination and quality assurance through training, knowledge sharing and best practices.
Allocate work across the specialists, manage capacity and competing deadlines, and foster accountability, collaboration and continuous improvement within Marketing and across supporting teams.

Credentials, Experience and Supporting Submissions

Coordinate the use of legal directory rankings, including Chambers and Legal500, to support relevant pitch and proposal credentials.
Collaborate with lawyers and relevant Marketing colleagues to maintain current awards, recognitions and client references for proposal use.
Oversee proposal-related use of the firm’s Expertise Database and identify improvements in representative work collection and tracking.
Ensure supporting credentials and experience records are accurate, approved and readily accessible for pitches, proposals and related submissions.
