The strategic support and services team supports our ambition to grow the business by ensuring that we are part of large framework agreements, collating and sharing information on our business – our achievements, our approach, and the brilliant buildings we deliver. By providing our people with the evidence they need to create engaging collateral and winning bids, we play a pivotal role in Willmott Dixon’s continued growth. 


The main duties of a Senior Proposals Manager at Willmott Dixon is to manage the quality of submissions and actively work with our Strategic Head of Proposals to develop the quality of bids. You will ensure the formal bid process is followed, providing recommendations for continuous improvement.

Working with subject matter experts, you will conceptualise and create visual elements to help tell the story, whilst also contributing to the ‘look and the feel’ of our offering. With an awareness of bidding best practice, you will also provide guidance and support to less experienced staff and those from other areas of the business.


You’ll also support creation of clear and effective customer presentations and provide creative ideas and initiatives for bids.

Essential and Desirable Criteria

You will ideally have some experience as a Bid Writer, Bid Editor, Bid Coordinator or similar role. You will be able to lead the creation of our written responses to achieve high quality, winning bids/submissions that meet the requirements and expectations of our customers. You will have good experience of writing and editing tender submissions. Knowledge and experience of the Adobe Suite, particularly InDesign is desirable, but full training will be provided if required.



Experience of facilitating answer plan sessions, win theme workshops and managing the tender review process.
Experience of bid writing and bid editing, creating compelling and persuasive responses.
Meticulous organisational skills.
Experience of using Microsoft Office.
Use of Adobe Indesign and Photoshop.
UKAPMP membership and certified desirable.

What you’ll bring to the role


Strategic, customer-focused thinking:  Ability to identify key value propositions, competitive advantages and differentiators that help us stand out in the competitive bidding process, with the customer at the heart of every proposal
Creativity and writing:  Crafting compelling narratives and persuasive proposals is a central aspect of the job; you’ll take pride in effectively communicating our response to customer needs through well written, engaging proposal content.
Problem solving:  It’s usual to encounter complex challenges during the proposal development process, such as aligning diverse ideas from multiple stakeholders, addressing technical complexities or mitigating risks. You’ll enjoy the problem-solving aspect of this role, finding solutions that meet both customer requirements and internal needs, then sharing any learning with the team and wider business.
Leadership and teamwork:  Our Proposals Managers work closely with cross-functional teams, including estimators, designers, engineers and subject matter experts. You’ll enjoy collaborating with diverse professionals, leveraging their expertise and fostering teamwork to develop comprehensive and well-rounded proposals, while providing the team with positive leadership throughout the bid process.
Bidding best practice:  With a passion for ensuring bidding best practice on every proposal, you’ll have extensive experience of storyboarding (answer planning), drafting, peer reviews, formatting and submission, and onto lessons learned and feedback analysis.
Desire to learn:  Our industry is dynamic and ever-evolving, with new technologies, methods, and trends emerging constantly. You’ll enjoy staying updated on industry developments, learning about new innovations and implementing best practices to enhance the proposal development process.
