Job Description:

Business Development Executive | Business Development & Marketing

Are you a proactive and driven Business Development Executive looking to make a real impact? We’re looking for a Business Development Executive to join our team in Edinburgh or Glasgow, supporting our Banking & Funds and Technology & Commercial teams. You’ll play an important role in delivering and executing a range of business development and marketing initiatives across both practice areas. No two days will be the same – you’ll manage and deliver business development and marketing projects, lead on delivering bespoke client-facing events, support with client and market research and create and update team sheets and credentials, proposals and presentations. You’ll work across all levels of the teams, collaborating with junior lawyers through to partners, and gain exposure to a broad range of clients and sectors across the UK and internationally.

We’re looking for someone with experience in a similar fast-paced environment who thrives on balancing multiple tasks, building strong relationships and taking ownership of their work. Experience within a professional services environment would be advantageous. If you’re a self-starter looking for a new challenge and the opportunity to develop your career in business development, we’d love to hear from you.

Closing Date: 16 October 2026

At the heart of Burness Paull is our independence. It’s this that gives us the licence to shape our business and culture in the sustainable way we want to, supporting the needs of our people, our clients, our wider community and the environment. It means freedom to pursue a philosophy of always being human in attitude and high-performing in approach. For our people that means recognising everyone is different and valuing those differences. A culture that celebrates openness and where genuine advice and relationships are championed. An environment that encourages everyone to aim for success by being the best version of themselves. And because we value the contribution that every one of our team makes, we make sure everyone is rewarded over and above the usual benefits you’d expect from a leading law firm. That means bonus schemes for all employees, family friendly policies that are stand out in the market, and a range of health & wellbeing initiatives that take a holistic approach to supporting colleagues. We set the bar high. Our clients and people love that.
