• Monitor UK tender portals and flag opportunities to business development.
• Coordinate internal bid discussions and timelines.
• Review client documents (RFPs, RFQs, ITTs) and help shape our responses.
• Proofread and format high-quality proposals using company templates.
• Ensure timely submissions and follow up for feedback.
• Help build a growing library of winning materials and support continuous improvement.
• Work cross-functionally with technical, commercial, and leadership teams.

You'll Thrive Here If You

• Communicate clearly and confidently (written and verbal).
• Stay calm under pressure and juggle multiple deadlines with ease.
• Love working with people and building strong, respectful relationships.
• Are detail-oriented and comfortable proofreading or editing.
• Are curious, self-driven, and eager to grow.
• Are looking for a workplace that values authenticity, collaboration, and potential.

You don’t need a degree or years of bid experience — just a great attitude, excellent organisation skills, and a willingness to learn.

Benefits include:

• Generous Leave: 25 days annual leave + bank holidays, with the option to buy more.
• Health & Wellbeing: Healthcare cover (with family options) + life assurance.
