Senior Sales Executive - Legal Division

Join Interprenet and Build the Future of Legal Language Services

About Us

At Interprenet, we've been breaking language barriers since 2004. Headquartered in Chicago, we are a trusted provider of interpretation and translation services for law firms, insurance carriers, healthcare organizations, and corporations nationwide.

Our legal division supports attorneys and legal professionals with high-quality on-site, video remote, telephonic interpretation, document translation, and multilingual litigation support services. We combine responsive customer service, cutting-edge technology, and experienced linguists to help our clients communicate clearly when it matters most.

We are now expanding aggressively across the Chicagoland and Midwest legal markets and are seeking a highly driven Senior Business Development Executive who knows how to build relationships, earn trust, and generate long-term business inside the legal community.

This is not a transactional sales role. We are looking for someone who understands how to develop firms into long-term strategic accounts.

The Opportunity

This is a field-based growth role for a senior business developer who can open doors, build trust quickly, and convert law firms into recurring strategic accounts.

Primary target segments include:
• Personal Injury firms
• Workers' Compensation firms
• Auto Accident practices
• Litigation-focused firms
• Legal support organizations
• Court reporting and litigation service environments

The role owns Chicagoland business development and supports expansion across priority Midwest markets, with selective growth opportunities in national legal hubs.

We are intentionally seeking someone located outside downtown Chicago, but within driving distance for regular in-person visits throughout the region.
