Job description

Proposals Executive

Are you an organised, detail-driven professional looking to move into a role where your writing and coordination skills genuinely help win new business? You don't need bid or proposal experience, we need the right attitude and aptitude, and our client will help you build the rest.

About our client

CDM Recruitment is working with a well-established, growing architectural practice who work across a broad range of sectors within the built environment, and have built a strong reputation for high-quality, varied work.

The role

As Proposals Executive, you'll sit within our client's Communications team, helping to coordinate and develop the proposals, bids, credentials and presentations that win new opportunities and raise the practice's profile. You'll work closely with colleagues across the business and with external partners, contributing real work from day one.

What you'll bring

This is a genuinely open opportunity, bid or proposal experience is not essential. We're keen to hear from candidates with backgrounds in:

• Marketing or communications
• Business development
• Project management
• Professional services or another fast-paced environment
• Architectural training, looking for a different path

An interest in architecture, design, property or the built environment is a bonus, not a requirement. What matters most is how you work: excellent communication, strong organisation, a sharp eye for detail, sound judgement, and a positive, proactive approach to getting things done.

What's on offer

• Competitive salary (DOE)
• Hybrid working
• The chance to join a friendly, ambitious and genuinely supportive team
• Real opportunities to develop your skills and take ownership
