Joining us means becoming part of a market-leading team, with capabilities across the full spectrum of asset classes, with an enduring commitment to responsible investment and creating long-term, sustainable value for our clients and partners.

Job Description

We’re recruiting for a Senior Bid Manager to join our market leading DC team. This key role involves managing proposals for new and existing clients, ensuring submissions are compelling, accurate, and timely. You will also handle follow-up questions, support pitches and site visits, and manage other new business processes.

  • Assisting pitch teams in preparing for client presentations and site visits
  • Handling and implementing client pricing requests, including following up with non-strategic accounts
  • Overseeing daily task distribution, providing training to the team when necessary, and arranging and leading team meetings
  • Collaborating with the Head of Client Acquisition Support on strategic planning for the team, taking charge of process improvement initiatives to maintain high standards in service delivery, and creating new materials to fill existing gaps
  • Fostering connections within the company and externally with a broad network of both investment and non-investment experts
  • Ensuring all communications are clear, compliant with the principles of ‘Treating Customers Fairly’, not misleading and fully compliant with any other relevant industry/government rules, guidance and regulations

Qualifications

Who we're looking for:

  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to create compelling communications
  • Experience of either pensions administration, investment management and or RFP/bid writing is essential
  • Ability to build and maintain good working relationships across the business and external stakeholders
  • Experience of leading successful strategic projects
  • Ability to work both independently and in a team in a deadline driven, dynamic environment
  • People management/workflow co-ordination preferable
  • Ability to critique and give constructive feedback on the work of colleagues
  • A strong understanding of industry trends and market competitors

Whatever your role, we reward performance and behaviour with a package that looks after all the things that are important to you. Here are some of the benefits we offer:

  • The opportunity to participate in our annual, performance-related bonus plan and valuable share schemes
  • Generous pension contribution
  • Life assurance
  • Private medical insurance (permanent employees only)
  • At least 25 days holiday, plus public holidays, 26 days after 2 years’ service. There’s also the option to buy and sell holiday
  • Competitive family leave
  • Participate in our electric car scheme, which offers employees the option to hire a brand-new electric car through tax efficient salary sacrifice
  • There are the many discounts we offer – both for our own products and at a range of high street stores and online
  • In 2023, some of our workspaces were redesigned. Our offices are great spaces to connect and collaborate and have your wellbeing at the heart
