Overview of the role / About the role:

This role is designed for an early-career bids professional who is ready to take on greater responsibility. It may suit someone with experience as a Bids Assistant, Bid Writer, Proposals Assistant or Coordinator or similar, who would like to develop their bid drafting and project coordination skills in a supportive professional services environment.

You will initially take ownership of straightforward proposals and defined workstreams, with guidance and review from more experienced team members. As your knowledge and confidence develop, you will have the opportunity to manage more complex opportunities and contribute to major panel tenders and strategic pitches.

This is a hands-on role within an established team, offering structured exposure to the full bid lifecycle. Training and support will be provided. You will receive coaching and feedback as you build your drafting, coordination and stakeholder-management skills, with scope to take on broader and more complex work overtime.
