This is not about answering questions. It is about building submissions that win work. What Makes This Role Different Most Bid Manager or Bid Writer roles are process-led. This one is not.

However, this is not about producing generic responses. The focus is on: Quality of thinking Clarity of communication Tailored, relevant submissions The expectation is that you use these tools intelligently to enhance output, iterate and refine responses, and continuously improve quality rather than relying on first-pass outputs. The Environment This is a growing SME environment, not a corporate structure. The culture is: Fast-paced Delivery-focused Commercially driven Accountable You will have direct exposure to senior leadership and a visible impact on how the business wins work. This is a senior-level appointment, reflected in both responsibility and package. Salary & Benefits 100,000 - 120,000 (DOE) basic salary Performance-related bonus Hybrid working This Role Will Not Suit You If You rely heavily on templates or rigid bid processes. You prefer coordinating input rather than owning outcomes. You need complete or highly structured information before you can start. You are not comfortable challenging senior stakeholders. Why Apply This is an opportunity to step into a high-impact Bid Manager / Head of Bids role within a growing business where you can: Take full ownership of bids Improve how the business wins work Work directly with senior stakeholders Shape a function rather than fit into one Apply Now If you are an experienced Bid Manager, Bid Writer, Proposals Manager or Head of Bids looking for a role with genuine ownership and impact, apply now or contact us for a confidential discussion.
