About the Opportunity
Steptoe LLP is seeking an experienced IT Business Relationship Manager to serve as a strategic liaison between IT and key business departments across the firm. This individual will partner directly with senior business leaders to understand operational challenges, identify technology opportunities, and translate business needs into actionable technology solutions.
The ideal candidate brings a consultative mindset, strong business acumen, broad technical knowledge, and exceptional stakeholder management skills. This is a highly visible, business-facing role focused on building relationships, improving processes, and ensuring technology investments deliver measurable business value.

Support technology implementations, training coordination, user adoption, and organizational change initiatives.
-
