Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom Orange Recruitment Full time

**About us**

Every day in the UK, bodies such as local councils, government departments and housing associations procure goods and services through the competitive tender process. This process requires organisations to create written bids (proposals), responding to various questions about their proposed approaches, in order to be awarded a contract.

Executive Compass is an independent bid writing company which exists to support these organisations to write high-quality, detailed, and persuasive proposals and maximise their likelihood of success. Based in Newcastle upon Tyne but supporting organisations across the whole of the UK, we now have a vacancy for up to four experienced bid writers to join our team. Ongoing support and training will be provided to enable the successful applicant(s) to further develop their skills and knowledge as a bid writing professional.

In the past 13 years, alongside employing more experienced writers, we have developed a highly effective graduate training scheme with intensive support and full training provided, allowing team members to develop.

**Working arrangements**

As a Senior Bid Writer, you will work as part of our established team either remotely from home (using a high-spec company PC and up to three flat-screen monitors - all provided and delivered to you) or at our Hoults Yard office in Newcastle Upon Tyne, with hybrid flexible working arrangements always considered.

Currently, around half our team of 30 work remotely and half are office-based in Newcastle. Those working at home have frequent and regular interaction with the team including a daily morning meeting and periodic office visits. With the attractive North East region offering relatively low living costs, access to the Northumberland coastline and countryside, members of our team include students wanting to stay in the area and others who have chosen to relocate.

We offer relocation assistance should you wish take advantage of working and living in the Newcastle area with it many restaurants, sporting facilities, and thriving arts, cultural, and social scene. Further, we provide free parking, access to private healthcare, and our office is handily placed within walking distance of the local Metro train service and the city centre.

With full bid management responsibility your primary role will be to write persuasive, compelling and detailed responses to tender questions on behalf of our clients, all of whom are organisations submitting bids (proposals) to various buyers.

To do so, you will be supported to gather high-quality information from the client, as well as undertaking your own research. You will provide end-to-end support, managing the whole process on behalf of the client and guiding them through the process.

We work in a very fast-paced environment and, once fully trained, you will be writing multiple bids concurrently whilst simultaneously managing clients and their expectations. The role therefore requires you to be hardworking with excellent attention to detail, as well as an ability to work independently and manage your own workload, but support is always available via the team of fellow bid writers and managers. Some work outside of typical office hours may occasionally be required.

**Main duties**

Main duties for the role include:

- Creating business-winning written responses (minimum output of 1,500 words per day) that support the client to maximise their likelihood of success
- Project managing the process from end-to-end on your own initiative, ensuring that submission deadlines are always met
- Speaking with clients and helping to manage client relationships
- Helping to maintain bid libraries (records of documentation relevant to each client)

In line with your development, opportunities will be made available to incorporate additional duties, such as:

- Becoming a specialist bid writer in a chosen field; current team members specialise in health and social care, construction, property services and other disciplines
- Supporting with internal quality assurance checks
- Offering guidance and assistance to other writers
- Reviewing successful and unsuccessful submissions, feedback and lessons learned to assist with our continuous improvement
- Becoming involved in all parts of the business, including strategy, sales, business development and more.

**Skills and experience**

**Benefits**

You will become part of a small but vibrant, thriving and supportive team, as well as benefiting from:
Salary increases following completion of probation (typically six months) and regular pay reviews in line with progress via a formal pay banding structure.
- A generous bonus scheme: when bids win, the resultant revenue is shared with the writers who supported the project, with experienced writers in our team earning on average up to 15% of their annual salary in bonuses
- Opportunities to undertake paid overtime in line with business need
- 25 days holiday per annum plus bank holidays (ri
