About the Role

Bjss is seeking a highly skilled Social Value Specialist to play a key role in the Business Development team, driving the company's social value message into bids and proposals, and staying ahead of the competition with regards to social value proposition.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Collaborate with the business development and bid response teams to ensure key social value data and collateral is incorporated into client proposals, pitches, bids, and presentations.
  • Own, manage, and develop all information and collateral related to Bjss' social value efforts, ensuring it can be used as part of business development activity, and continuously iterate and improve it to strengthen the message and positioning.
  • Drive Bjss' social value message out to the market, ensuring our initiatives are understood and amplified, working collaboratively with marketing to develop collateral, case studies, and thought leadership content highlighting our social impact initiatives and successes.
  • Identify and cultivate relationships with potential clients, partners, and stakeholders who share our commitment to social responsibility and sustainability.
