Key tasks
- Working closely with the technical editor, your role will be varied and dynamic and will include:

- Reviewing all content and working with individual bid writers to drive forward quality.
- Liaising with bid writers and the bid manager to agree scheduling of reviews.
- Working with the technical manager to identify skill gaps and appropriate training to improve individual and organisational success rates.
