We are looking for a skilled Bid Manager to join our team in London, to lead the proposal and bid process, from opportunity identification to proposal submission. We have had significant success in winning bids across the UK and EU over the last several years, from both government departments and corporates, due to the strength of our offering.

As a business, we pride ourselves on our results-driven, high integrity culture and the position requires you to be a competent, driven and highly self-motivated person willing to learn and grow with the business.

Identify and engage with stakeholders (internal and external) to collate information for bid submissions, including liaising with subject matter experts to develop case studies
Design and write winning bids, proposals and technical responses, relating to the training industry and work on creating content and capabilities required to win

Key Skills:

Demonstrated experience of at least 5 years in a Bid writing or management role, ideally within the training sector
Experience of end-to-end bid management from opportunity identification to submission and handover to Account Management/Operations
Proven track record of producing successful bids, tenders, and proposals with evidence of high conversion rates

Key Attributes:

Exceptional writing, editing, and communication skills, with a keen eye for detail.
Strong project management abilities, capable of balancing multiple bids simultaneously
Proven prioritisation and time-management skills
Process driven, highly organised with strong administration skills
Strong MS Office Skills
An innovative thinker with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into persuasive narratives

We pride ourselves on creating a supportive and inclusive environment, where every team member is empowered to contribute and excel. We are dedicated to the development of our staff, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
The role is being advertised as full-time and hybrid, but there may be flexibility for the right candidate. There will be performance based incentives based on the increase in profitability due to bids won and retained.
