The role
This is an exciting opportunity to begin or develop your career in business growth, working across Business Development, Bids and Client Development.
You will initially join our Business Development team for six months, before moving into either the Bids or Client Development team. This varied role will give you broad experience across marketing, client experience and winning new business, while supporting colleagues throughout the firm.
The role can be based in any of our offices outside London.
The person
You will be organised, proactive and comfortable managing competing priorities in a fast-paced environment. You will bring strong written English, excellent attention to detail and the confidence to communicate with stakeholders at all levels.
You will be comfortable using Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Teams, with an interest in using Copilot and other technology to improve efficiency while maintaining a people-focused approach.
Experience in professional services, bids, marketing materials or CRM systems would be helpful, but curiosity, adaptability and a positive attitude are just as important. You will enjoy learning, building relationships and contributing new ideas.

The Benefits

Pre employment screening
If we offer you a role, we will conduct comprehensive pre-employment screening. This screening will include, but is not limited to, a basic DBS, verification of your right to work, a three year employment history and a self-declaration to assess your character and suitability for the role. Full details of our pre-screening employment process are available upon request.
Use of AI during the recruitment process
Technology is changing rapidly and we are all increasingly using AI software in our day to day lives, as well as using it to support our learning and professional development.
Here at Mills & Reeve, we embrace the use of technology and AI and we recognise that candidates may use AI tools to support their applications. As a regulated industry, we expect candidates to use such tools responsibly, honestly and in a manner that allows us to make a fair and accurate assessment of their individual skills, experience and suitability for the role.
Please ensure you have thoroughly read the document attached below to understand what we deem acceptable uses of AI.
The firm
At Mills & Reeve, our 1,450 plus people and over 850 lawyers share one vision – achieve more together. It's a state of mind in every client relationship we start and every choice we make. And it's what clients consistently say distinguishes us from your average law firm.
You can expect a close and attentive working relationship with a team that's responsive when you need them. You'll receive advice tailored to your individual needs. Wherever in the world you or your business needs support, we'll draw on our network to give recommendations.
We're driven by our values – we're ambitious, we're open, we care and we collaborate. We embrace new ideas, communicate honestly and are easy to work with. We're committed to you, our planet, our communities and each other.
We've been listed in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work list as one of the best big organisations, and we've recently been reaccredited Platinum Investors in People status – a standard achieved by only 8% of assessed organisations.
And finally
Everyone at Mills & Reeve brings a unique perspective and ideas to the team and we do everything we can to help each person to thrive. We're committed to providing an inclusive and supportive working environment, are happy to consider flexible working arrangements, and want to achieve the right balance for both our people and the firm. We encourage everyone to ask if they feel they need any workplace adjustments, and will do our best to support with these.
