6 days ago
The Bid Manager is a Mid-level role based within the Managed Professional Services (MPS) division of RedRock Consulting. The Division delivers professional services within the technology space to our customers. Our customers are largely within the UK public & private sectors. We build teams to either deliver a complete technology outcome or blend with a customer team to enable a joint delivery.
We are looking for a motivated, autonomous and experienced Bid Manager to report into our Chief Digital Officer (CDO). The CDO is accountable for RedRock’s digital and growth strategy as well as supporting the design and build of all services.
The Bid Manager is responsible for the end to end process of developing proposals and responding to tenders. Collaborating with Account Managers and Client Directors you will own and manage frameworks and portal access, support the bid qualification process, lead on and contribute to proposal content creation, be responsible for and iterate our content library and undertake analysis to ensure our approach is constantly improved. Bid managers are RedRock’s custodians of quality output ensuring we maintain high standards at all times. You will actively work with colleagues across the business including sales leads, delivery managers, technical leads and the Chief Digital, Technology and Commercial Officers. The role demands excellent written and communication skills; the successful candidate will need to possess the rare mix of understanding how to articulate business value in a technology world, creative thinking, stakeholder management and project management skills.
This role is an exciting opportunity for someone with a significant amount of experience in bid ownership, production & writing. RedRock is growing rapidly, and this senior role plays a key part in ensuring our growth targets are achieved. Our ability to win new business hinges on high quality bid responses that deliver on the outlined requirements and this role will take full ownership of bid production in our business.
