Job description

Senior Bid Manager

As a Senior Bid Manager, you’ll use your expertise and leadership to manage a bid team that provides a professional and successful service across a portfolio of high-value bids.

Your team and you, as a Senior Bid Manager, will play a positive part in Roke’s growth strategy by retaining and winning new business. This will involve supplying technology, expertise, and consultancy services to a variety of customers across the public and private sector.

Roke is a leading technology & engineering company with clients spanning National Security, Defence, and Industry 4.0 through our Futures business and Intelligence as a Service. You will work alongside our customers to solve their complex and unique challenges.

As a Senior Bid Manager, your responsibilities will include managing bids through the entire lifecycle, including corporate governance gates, win theme development, bid strategy, pricing, partnering/teaming, competitive analysis, solution development, and colour team reviews.

The Key Requirements...

1. Experience in U.K. Government procurement and Framework bidding would be an advantage, as would experience of working in a Defence or National Security field.
2. Substantial Bid/Proposal management experience.
3. Experience of leading a portfolio of bids and leading Bid Teams.

Built over a 60-year heritage, Roke offers specialist knowledge in sensors, communications, cyber, and AI and ML. We change the way organisations think and act through dynamic insights from the analysis of multiple layers of data. We take care of the innovative, technical aspects that keep everyone safe – that’s our mission, passion, and motivation.

Joining a team united by purpose and ambition, you’ll be at the heart of an exciting growth journey: having doubled in size over the last 4 years, we intend to double our headcount by 2027. At Roke, every individual counts. We push technical boundaries together. We re-invest in product innovation, and we empower our people to make a difference.

Operating in a business that prides itself on a diverse and welcoming culture, you’ll have the support to guide, develop, and support your team whilst providing a best-in-class service; the foundations required for high-quality, successful submissions.
