  • Align bid responses to the RedRock Brand Guidelines and align tone of voice and language to the RedRock culture and values.
  • Support the creation of the commercial model in relation to a specific bid or framework response and align to guidance provided from the customer.
  • Manage the timeline for the bid response including ensuring sufficient time for reviews, updates and approvals.

  • Support case study production alongside our business development, delivery and marketing teams.


Must Have Experience:

  • Able to manage the production of evidence-based bid responses to complex solutions that both address the requirements and are compelling to the intended audience
  • Experience of public sector procurements
