Leeds, United Kingdom BJSS Full time

About Us


We’re an award-winning innovative tech consultancy - a team of creative problem solvers. Since 1993 we’ve been finding better, more sustainable ways to solve complex technology problems for some of the world’s leading organisations and delivered solutions that millions of people use every day.


In the last 30 years we won several awards, including a prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category for our Enterprise Agile delivery approach.


Operating from 26 locations across the world, we bring together teams of creative experts with diverse backgrounds and experiences, who enjoy working and learning in our collaborative and open culture and are committed to world-class delivery.


We want to continue to grow our team with people just like you


About the Role


We’re seeking an experienced and confident bid manager, someone capable of handling our largest, most complex and most strategically important bids.


This is a hands-on role, with end-to-end responsibility for managing bids and for shaping and writing responses. You’ll:

  • Project-manage bid responses, supporting a wide variety of subject matter experts and contributors to create their best work
  • Author clear, compelling, compliant responses that help us score highly against published evaluation criteria
  • Contribute your own experience and insights to elevate our approach
  • Support colleagues across the business to upskill on managing and contributing to bids, to build our capability


We’re looking for someone who is comfortable project-managing, contributing to, and writing the bulk of the content for bids, all at once.


You’ll work with teams of subject matter experts to deliver compelling bids, proposals and presentations that show clients exactly how BJSS can go the extra mile for them.


You’ll join a close-knit team of Bid Managers, Bid Coordinators and reviewers who work together to achieve excellent results for every bid. If you’re up against a deadline, need advice on how to tackle a response or want some help with the administrative aspects of the submission, we’ll make sure you’ve always got the support you need.


The whole team also works with the wider business to improve our approach to bid and proposal creation.


Your responsibilities will include taking a leading role in this continual improvement, fielding queries from colleagues and modelling ‘what good looks like’.


About You


Ideally, you’ll bring:

  • Recent experience in a hybrid bid management/writing role, managing and writing content for formal bid and proposals in the public and private sectors (this is a hybrid role where you will be expected to both manage and write)
  • Experience in the technology sector, including the kinds of work we deliver at BJSS – we’ll need you to hit the ground running and be ready to write and manage bids after a short onboarding period
  • Experience in another related field (e.g., professional services), so you can cross-pollinate ideas from other industries
  • First-class writing skills, with the ability to write clear, well-structured, well-phrased and persuasive prose
  • Experience in questioning, researching, reviewing, evaluating and (where needed) challenging contributions, to make sure responses are as good as they can possibly be
  • Experience leading large, varied and time-poor bid response teams to success on complex bids
  • An ability to form strong working relationships and influence at all levels
  • Evidence of where you’ve taken responsibility for key initiatives in your workplace, and the positive difference this has made.


Some of the Perks


  • Flexible benefits allowance – you choose how to spend your allowance (additional pension contributions, healthcare, dental and more)
  • Industry leading health and wellbeing plan - we partner with several wellbeing support functions to cater to each individual's need, including 24/7 GP services, mental health support, and other
  • Life Assurance (4 x annual salary)
  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Hybrid working - Our roles are not fully remote as we take pride in the tight knit communities we have created at our local offices. But we offer plenty of flexibility and you can split your time between the office, client site and WFH
  • Discounts – we have preferred rates from dozens of retail, lifestyle, and utility brands
  • An industry-leading referral scheme with no limits on the number of referrals
  • Flexible holiday buy/sell option
  • Electric vehicle scheme
  • Training opportunities and incentives – we support professional certifications across engineering and non-engineering roles, including unlimited access to O’Reilly
  • Giving back – the ability to get involved nationally and regionally with partnerships to get people from diverse backgrounds into tech
  • You will become part of a squad with people from different areas within the business who will help you grow at BJSS
  • We have a busy social calendar that you can choose to join– quarterly town halls/squad nights out/weekends away with families included/office get togethers
  • GymFlex gym membership programme
