About the role
The US Manager, BD Pursuits & AI Enablement is a US-based role focused on raising the quality, consistency, and speed of how the firm pursues and wins work. This role works closely with the Global MBD Operations Systems team, including global experience and CRM, and the Market Intelligence and global Business Development teams.
Key responsibilities and deliverables
- Own and streamline the US pitch process with AI enablement, working closely with the BD teams.
- Leverage AI to develop and manage the global pitch content library/repository, ensuring it is comprehensive, current, well-structured, and easy to search, retrieve, and reuse across teams.
- Build and maintain the shared data spine that powers AI-enabled pursuit work, including pitch content, matter experience, credentials, and lawyer bios, ensuring information is complete, current, and structured for AI retrieval and reuse.
- Develop and maintain reusable pursuit assets, including pitch modules, matter descriptions, credential sets, templates, and prompt frameworks, so teams spend their time on strategy and tailoring, not building from scratch.
- Partner with BD, lawyers, and business services teams to ensure experience data and CRM records are accurate, current, and complete enough to power AI-drafted pitches and submissions.
- Identify high-friction points in the pursuit workflow and translate them into clear, specific improvement briefs with measurable outcomes.
- Develop best practices, training materials, prompt libraries, and process documentation to support consistent execution and user adoption across the US team.
- Support US Chambers and other legal directory submissions, including process management, stakeholder coordination, and quality control.
- Provide hands-on support on priority pitches and submissions, applying AI tools to support drafting, content refinement, and knowledge retrieval.
