This is a highly strategic leadership role that serves as a trusted advisor and right hand to the Global Chair of the Corporate Practice, helping shape and execute the firm's growth strategy across its most important clients, industries, and transactional practices, including M&A, Private Equity, Finance, and Project Finance. This Client Development Strategist partners with senior lawyers to identify high-value opportunities, develop client growth strategies, and lead sophisticated pursuits that deepen relationships and drive revenue.

The Client Development Strategist combines market intelligence, data analytics, and commercial insight to help partners anticipate client needs, uncover new opportunities, and position the firm as a strategic business advisor—not just outside counsel. The role also leads executive-level client presentations, value-based messaging, and disciplined pipeline management while introducing a more consultative, insight-driven approach to client development.

The ideal candidate brings 15+ years of experience in business development, consulting, investment banking, or professional services, along with strong executive presence, strategic thinking, and a proven ability to influence senior leaders and accelerate growth.

This position reports to the Chief Client Officer and can sit in any of the firm's Texas offices.

Salary range: $225,000-$300,000
