Key Responsibilities:

  • Review each ITT, PQQ and RFP on receipt, breaking down the buyer’s requirements, scoring criteria and deadlines into a clear response plan.
  • Agree win themes with the lead salesperson, then structure every answer against the scoring criteria before drafting starts.
  • Write clear, persuasive responses that directly answer the question, gathering evidence from subject matter experts across the business and using AI tooling to accelerate first drafts without losing quality.
  • Ensure every submission is fully compliant with the buyer’s specification, page limits and scoring rubric, and edit inputs from sales, legal and finance into one consistent, high-quality voice.
  • Manage clarification questions and final submission through the buyer’s procurement portal, working to strict deadlines and escalating early when anything puts them at risk.
  • Build and maintain our bid library of reusable answers, templates, case studies and past submissions, so every bid starts further ahead than the last.


About you:

  • 3+ years managing tenders end-to-end, with submissions you’ve owned from receipt through to award.
  • You’ve written bids for mid-market and enterprise buyers, and you understand how larger organisations evaluate, score and buy.
  • Exposure to public sector frameworks such as CCS is preferable. You know how framework procurement works and what a compliant, scoring submission looks like.
  • You write plain, persuasive English and turn technical detail from busy experts into answers that score, quickly and to a consistently high standard.
  • You run multiple bids in parallel to immovable deadlines, and you flag risks early rather than letting them surface late.
  • Compliance checks, formatting standards and consistency across stakeholder inputs are where you take pride. Nothing goes out with an error.
  • You keep clarification logs, portals, versions and evidence tidy and current, so the lead salesperson always knows exactly where the bid stands.


Benefits:

  • Hybrid working: Split your week between home and the office, with set in-office days on Mondays and Wednesdays
  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • Add 1 day holiday per year service + buy / sell up to 5 days each year
