Job Description

What is the opportunity?

We have an exciting opportunity for an RFP writer to join the RBC Brewin Dolphin charity team. This role is critical to the new business process and is viewed as playing a key role in the growth of the charity investment business.

We are seeking a highly motivated, detail-oriented team player who thrives in a fast-paced environment to join the charity team, which oversees over £3.9bn of funds under management.

The role will primarily focus on the completion of investment tenders and marketing, presentation, and pitch materials.

• Prepare tailored, precise and eloquent client-focused RFP responses that are customised to the client's requirements.

• Work closely with the national charity investment team, wider specialist teams across the business, and marketing to update business development materials.

• Manage a database of questions used in charity tender documents. This includes procuring the information from other internal departments and updating answers.

• Champion the RFP process to internal teams, initiating innovative ideas and creative approaches to improve responses and increase efficiency.

• Build and maintain charity investment and market knowledge, whilst also keeping abreast of FCA financial promotion regulations.

• Support the Business Development Managers and team in their daily activities.

What do you need to succeed?

Must-have

• Good working knowledge of Investment Markets and Economics.

• Previous experience in a similar RFP role.

• Strong knowledge of Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint; databases and analytical tools.

• Proven ability to work collaboratively with people of all levels of an organisation and build successful business relationships.

• Ability to work on multiple proposals and pitches simultaneously.

• Strong research, numeracy and writing skills.

Nice-to-have

• Investment qualification.

• An interest in or evidence of past involvement with a charity or in volunteering.

What is in it for you?

We thrive on the challenge to be our best - progressive thinking to keep growing and working together to deliver trusted advice to help our clients thrive and communities prosper. We care about each other, reaching our potential, making a difference to our communities, and achieving success that is mutual.
