United Kingdom UPP Full time

Senior Bid Director Competitive salary plus generous bonus and benefits package
UPP is the UK’s leading provider of on-campus residential and academic accommodation infrastructure, operating over 35,000 rooms in partnership with 15 world-leading universities across the UK. At UPP we have a proud history of leading innovation in campus accommodation, working with world-leading architects to build or redevelop highly sustainable student accommodation that meets Passivhaus, BREEAM and WELL standards.

The role is responsible for the strategic leadership of new business transactions from inception to financial close. Transactions may include new build developments, estate transfers, forward-funded transactions, the re-financing of existing projects or property acquisitions and may be negotiated or competed. A project-specific transaction team will be in place to manage the deliverables of individual transactions and will be under the direction, and leadership, of the Senior Bid Director.

You will be a driving force for continuous improvement and innovation of the UPP product and service offer and will play a vital role in building competitive advantage. A high level of personal and proactive relationship creation and management will be required across the Higher Education sector including partners, advisors, and supply chain.

We are looking for you to already be working at a senior level and have successfully lead bids through to financial close, gaining experience of:
The development and delivery of successful project finance transactions
The bidding and management of projects through the competitive dialogue process
Team and people management including developing/coaching individuals

Experience in PFI / PPP projects and/or exposure to the purpose-built student accommodation sector in terms of stakeholder needs and preferences, best practice and latest innovations would also be an advantage for this role.


Our core values of Innovation, Sustainability, Community, Partnership and Respect, are fundamental to our culture and summarise what is important to our business and our people.

The role attracts a competitive six figure salary commensurate with a role at this level, together with a generous performance bonus. UPP is an inclusive and flexible employer and offers comprehensive benefits package including 29 days holiday plus bank holidays, private healthcare, pension, enhanced family leave policy, life assurance, training, two paid volunteering or personal development days and cycle to work scheme. Check out our website for more information about UPP, our culture and benefits. Based in our award winning offices in London, our hybrid working policy supports working from home 2/3 days a week. Due to the nature of the role you can expect regular travel and overnight stays when required.
