  • Legal Pitch Innovation Opportunity
  • AI-Power Pursuits Without Holding the Pen
  • Strategic Pitch Transformation Role with Scalability
  • Initial 12-month contract with room for extension, permanency or high-value replication

If you’ve worked on fast-turnaround corporate pitches and thought, there has to be a better way, this could be one of the most interesting opportunities in the market.

This is a rare chance for an experienced legal BD or pitching professional to step into a newly created role focused on rethinking how high-stakes corporate and transactional pitches are delivered, while stepping away from the delivery and pen holding in order to do so.

The brief is simple, but powerful: bring a sharp pitching mindset, genuine curiosity about AI and the ability to turn ideas into practical recommendations that senior stakeholders will actually adopt over time.

You will not be expected to be a technical AI specialist. You do need to be commercially credible, process-minded and excited by the opportunity to improve the way premium legal work is won.

This role has effectively never existed before at consultant or manager level in legal business development, in a dedicated capacity.

Now it does. It can also lead into a permanent placement or replication and monetisation for those seeking a platform to build a consultancy.

That’s a compelling proposition.

Over a 12-month project, you will help shape a smarter, more streamlined pitching model inside an elite brand. For the right person, that creates two compelling paths: build a longer-term career within a top-tier firm in a new capacity, or take that hard-to-replicate experience back into the market as a genuinely high-value consultant driving similar change elsewhere.

Either way, the platform is exceptional.

What makes this different

  • A first-of-its-kind role in legal pitching and BD
  • The chance to influence process, not just execute it
  • Hands-on exposure to AI-enabled pitch transformation
  • A highly portable, premium skill set with long-term consulting upside
  • Viable locations across all Australian capital cities, including Perth, plus Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo

Who should consider this
You may have around 5-12 years’ experience in legal BD, pursuits, bids or pitching, ideally within corporate or transactional practice groups. You are credible, curious, and capable of shaping better ways of working. You do not need to be an AI expert, but you do need to see the opportunity in applying it well.

For the right person, this is a chance to step into something scalable, commercial and genuinely different.

This opportunity is being managed exclusively by Dalton Handley in Australia and Andrew McGrath, Greenlight Consulting, in Asia.
