Job Description

Why this role is different

This is not a narrow, siloed coordinator role. At Piper Alderman, our Business Development & Marketing Coordinators are trusted contributors to the firm’s national BD and marketing program. You will work closely with senior stakeholders, gain exposure across events, digital, bids and campaigns, and be encouraged to bring ideas, not just execute tasks.

You will also be part of a forward-thinking BD & Marketing team with access to a Microsoft Copilot Enterprise license, using AI responsibly to streamline workflows, support content creation and improve how we work. This is a genuine opportunity to build modern BD and marketing capability in a leading commercial law firm.

The opportunity

Reporting to the Director of Business Development & Marketing and based in our Brisbane office, this role offers broad, practical experience across:

• High-profile client events and firm initiatives
• National marketing campaigns and digital platforms
• Bids, proposals and capability content
• Day-to-day operational support that keeps a national team moving

It is an ideal role for someone early in their career who wants breadth, visibility and development, rather than being confined to one narrow function.

What you will be doing

Events & client engagement

• Coordinate and support the delivery of seminars, webinars, client briefings and hybrid events
• Manage event logistics end-to-end (registrations, lists, run sheets, name tags and follow-up)
• Be involved in premium client experiences, not just internal events

Digital, content & platforms

• Maintain and update website and intranet content
• Upload and manage approved content across digital platforms
• Support article submissions and profile-raising initiatives
• Help manage image libraries and brand assets

Bids, proposals & capability content

• Support the Bids & Proposals Manager with credentials and content library updates
• Assist with formatting and presentation of pitch documents and capability statements
• Ensure content is accurate, current and aligned to firm positioning

Operations & team support

• Assist with marketing-related onboarding and offboarding activities
• Provide day-to-day coordination support across national BD & Marketing initiatives
• Support CRM list pulls, data hygiene and basic reporting

About you

You will thrive in this role if you are:

• Around one year’s experience in a marketing or business development assistant or support role, and ready to step up into a coordinator position
• Curious, proactive and keen to learn how a national firm operates
• Comfortable juggling priorities and working at pace
• Highly organised, with strong attention to detail
• Confident communicating with a wide range of internal stakeholders
• Interested in using tools like Microsoft Copilot and other technology to work smarter

A degree (completed or in progress) in Marketing, Business, Communications or a related discipline is well regarded.

The team & culture

You will join a small, high-performing national BD & Marketing team led from Brisbane. The team is collaborative, down-to-earth and well respected across the firm. While we work across offices, we connect regularly and value professionalism, trust and a sense of humour.

Why join Piper Alderman?

A natural next step from assistant to coordinator.

At Piper Alderman, this role is well suited to someone with around a year’s experience in a marketing or BD assistant-type role who is ready to step up into a broader coordinator position.

• More ownership, with support: You will move beyond pure task execution and take responsibility for coordinating national BD & Marketing initiatives, working closely with senior stakeholders while still being supported by an experienced team.
• Exposure that builds confidence: You will gain hands‑on experience across events, bids, proposals and digital initiatives, giving you the context and judgement that comes with a true coordinator role.
• Modern tools to help you step up: As part of the BD & Marketing team, you will have access to a Microsoft Copilot Enterprise licence, using AI responsibly to streamline workflows, improve content and work more efficiently as your responsibilities grow.
• Visibility in a national firm: Based in Brisbane but working nationally, your contribution will be visible, valued and developed, not lost in a large, layered structure.
• Supportive, practical culture: You will join a down-to-earth team that understands the transition from assistant to coordinator and is committed to helping you grow into the role.

If you are ready to move into a coordinator role with real scope, without being thrown in the deep end, this is an excellent next step.
