About the role
As our BDM, you'll work closely with Partners, Practice Group Leaders, and the wider BD & Marketing team to develop and deliver strategies that contribute directly to the firm's growth. You'll bring commercial insight, a collaborative approach, and a strong sense of ownership to everything you do — whether that's crafting winning proposals, or driving market-facing initiatives.

- Leading major pitches and developing high-quality proposal materials
- Coaching partners and senior lawyers on positioning and BD best practice

- Overseeing directory and award submissions
- Building strong relationships across the firm and supporting a high-performing BD culture
About you

- 5+ years' BD experience
- Strength in pitches, client development, and project delivery
- Exceptional communication skills and attention to detail
- The ability to work proactively, manage multiple priorities, and deliver high-quality outputs
- A collaborative working style and a positive, professional manner
Experience in legal or broader professional services is an advantage, but we're open to a range of backgrounds.
Why Simpson Grierson?
We're a leading NZ law firm, an award-winning Employer of choice and a people-first workplace.
You'll enjoy:
- SG Day – an extra paid day just for you
- Flexi-leave – acquire up to two weeks of extra leave each year
- Generous sick leave, supporting both physical and mental health
