Job Title

We are seeking a highly skilled Proposals Manager to join our team in South London and the South East.

This is a 12-month fixed-term contract opportunity, with potential for conversion to a permanent role.

The Proposals Manager will oversee the quality of submissions, collaborating closely with project managers to enhance bid quality. The role involves assessing technical bid requirements and assisting project managers in shaping proposals, ensuring adherence to the formal bid process, and providing recommendations for continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Leading the creation of written responses to achieve high-quality, winning bids/submissions meeting customer requirements and expectations.
  • Experience of writing and editing tender submissions, including bid writing and bid editing.
  • Meticulous organisational skills.
  • Using Microsoft Office and Adobe InDesign and Photoshop.
  • UKAPMP membership and certification (desirable).

What we're looking for:

  • Strategic, customer-focused thinking.
  • Creativity and writing skills.
  • Problem-solving abilities.
  • Leadership and teamwork experience.
  • Bidding best practice knowledge.
  • Desire to learn and develop.

Benefits:

We offer a competitive package with flexible benefits to suit your lifestyle and priorities, including an enhanced pension scheme, full private medical, life assurance, incentive bonus, car scheme, and access to low-carbon and electric cars via our car leasing scheme.

Additional Information:

We pride ourselves on being a diverse and inclusive employer, welcoming applications from candidates of all backgrounds, and happy to discuss flexible/agile working arrangements.
