Founded in 1969, Morson Group is a £1.3 billion global technical recruitment leader with over 30 UK offices and international operations across Canada, the USA, Australia, and Europe. We’re the UK’s largest technical recruitment agency and ranked among the Top 50 Best Large Companies to Work For.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a motivated Bid Writer to join our growing Bid & Proposals team in Manchester. This is an ideal step for someone currently working as a Bid Coordinator ready to develop writing skills, or a Graduate/Junior Bid Writer looking to take on more responsibility and ownership.

Reporting to the Bid & Proposal Lead, you’ll support the creation of high-quality, persuasive tender responses across a variety of sectors — from recruitment and engineering to infrastructure and professional services.

Why This Role?

• Step up from coordination to content creation.
• Gain hands-on experience across the full bid lifecycle.
• Work on bids in multiple sectors, building a broad skill set.
• Receive mentoring and support in a collaborative team.

What You'll Be Doing

• Write and Develop Content: Draft clear, engaging responses that showcase Morson’s strengths and align with client requirements.
• Work with SMEs: Collaborate with subject matter experts to gather technical and service information for use in responses.
• Support Bid Management: Assist in planning, coordinating and tracking submissions, working closely with the wider bid team.
• Ensure Quality and Consistency: Edit and refine content to ensure it aligns with our brand tone and messaging.
• Learn and Grow: Build your skills across writing, editing, compliance, and strategy in a supportive and fast-paced environment.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in a Bid Coordinator, Junior Bid Writer, or graduate-level role within bids, marketing, communications, or a related field.
• Strong writing and editing skills — you enjoy turning complex information into compelling narratives.
• Great organisational skills and a keen eye for detail.
• Confident communicator who enjoys working collaboratively with different stakeholders.
• Familiarity with tendering or procurement processes (desirable but not essential).
• A proactive mindset and a desire to grow within a successful, supportive team.

What We Offer

• A clear development path to a more senior bid writing or bid management role.
• Flexible/hybrid working from our Manchester HQ.
• Exposure to high-profile clients and strategic business opportunities.
• A collaborative team culture where ideas and development are encouraged.
• Recognition as part of one of the UK’s leading recruitment organisations.
