Help Innovative Companies Protect the Technologies Shaping the Future 

Hylton-Rodic Law is a boutique intellectual property law firm serving biotechnology, pharmaceutical, university, and life sciences innovators. 

We are seeking a Business Development Coordinator to support the firm's growth initiatives across business development, marketing, client engagement, and strategic relationship development. 

This is not a traditional sales role. It is a relationship-driven role focused on helping the firm build visibility, strengthen client relationships, generate opportunities, and support long-term growth. 

This position works directly with firm leadership and offers significant ownership, visibility, and professional development opportunities. Successful candidates will be comfortable taking initiative, managing projects independently, and helping build processes as the firm continues to grow. 

This role is ideal for someone who wants to grow beyond pure coordination work and gain firsthand experience helping build and scale the business development function of a growing law firm. 

What You'll Do 

• Support business development efforts by coordinating prospect outreach, meetings, follow-up activities, and pipeline management. 
• Manage the firm's HighLevel CRM, reporting, contact database, and business development tracking systems. 
• Coordinate client onboarding, client engagement initiatives, and relationship development activities. 
• Support conference, webinar, speaking engagement, and event-based business development programs. 
• Partner with marketing resources to coordinate newsletters, blogs, LinkedIn content, email campaigns, and thought leadership initiatives. 
• Identify and coordinate relevant life sciences and intellectual property RFP and proposal opportunities. 

What Success Looks Like 

First 30 Days 

• Learn the firm's services, clients, systems, and business development processes. 
• Become proficient in CRM and reporting tools. 
• Gain familiarity with ongoing conferences, marketing initiatives, and client engagement programs. 

First 90 Days 

• Independently manage recurring business development workflows. 
• Support client engagement, conference initiatives, and marketing programs. 
• Become a trusted resource to firm leadership. 

What We're Looking For 

• 1-3 years of experience supporting sales, business development, client success, account management, recruiting, marketing, relationship management, or other growth-oriented functions. 
• Experience working within a law firm, professional services firm, consulting firm, healthcare organization, or other B2B environment. 
• Experience working with CRM systems and business development processes. 
• Strong written and verbal communication skills. 
• Excellent organizational and project management abilities. 
• Ability to manage multiple priorities with a high degree of autonomy. 

Preferred Qualifications: 

• Prior law firm business development or marketing experience. 
• Experience supporting conferences, webinars, sponsorships, or marketing campaigns. 
• Experience supporting proposal, pitch, or RFP efforts. 

This role is particularly well-suited for candidates currently supporting business development, client success, account management, recruiting, or marketing initiatives who are seeking greater ownership and responsibility. 

Why Hylton-Rodic Law? 

Work-Life Balance 

Flexible schedules, mental health days, and a culture that values personal well-being alongside professional success in a non-corporate legal environment. 

Career Growth & Ownership 

Work directly with firm leadership and gain exposure to business development, client engagement, marketing strategy, conference planning, CRM management, and law firm growth initiatives. 

This role is ideal for someone who wants more than a traditional coordinator position. As the firm grows, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility and play a larger role in shaping the firm’s business development efforts. 

Meaningful Work 

Support innovative people and organizations developing technologies that shape the future of healthcare, medicine, and science.
