Apply if you excel at:

• Writing (reports, articles, essays) and interpreting information clearly and succinctly
• Communication (emails, calls, reports) and building positive client relationships
• Time management (meeting deadlines and planning)

You will receive industry-leading training from a Senior Bid Consultant and ongoing support through weekly 1:1s with a director and roundtable sessions.

• Flexible working hours (8am-6pm, core hours 10am-4pm)
