Harbor is seeking a Senior Business Developer to join our Law Firm Client Engagement team.
As a Client Engagement Specialist at Harbor, you will play a critical role in driving strategic growth within the legal industry. You are a seasoned business developer with deep knowledge of the legal sector and a passion for uncovering and expanding opportunities in your assigned territory.
In this client-facing role, you will focus on building strong, consultative relationships with law firm clients—understanding their unique challenges and aligning Harbor’s solutions to meet their needs. Your efforts will help position Harbor as a trusted, long-term partner through insightful, solution-oriented conversations that drive business outcomes.
Aligned with Harbor’s go-to-market strategy, you’ll collaborate closely with colleagues across our Go-to-Market (GTM) and Delivery teams, as well as external alliance partners. Together, you’ll design and present tailored, high-impact solutions that expand client engagement and business value. You’ll report directly to the Chief Growth Officer, with responsibility for driving growth in our Law Firm segment.
This is a full-time, remote position, with preference given to candidates based in the New York City area. We are also highly interested in candidates located in other key Northeast markets, including Boston, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Washington, D.C.
