Full time

Description

Our client is very conscious of the team ethos and culture that they are building, seeking not only highly competent and capable bid consultants, but individuals who also care deeply about supporting each other's growth and development.

You will be supported and encouraged in an open, collaborative environment, with time to learn and develop. You will also enjoy and benefit from:

Flexible working.
A personal development plan, aligned to a skills matrix, with a range of opportunities to upskill / learn new things.
Enrolment into a leading Employee Assistance Programme.
Quarterly forums, in which you will have the opportunity to have your say on the strategic and operational direction of the company.
Monthly reviews, in which they focus on your development.
Weekly 1-2-1s with your Team Leader.

Even though you'll be primarily head down managing bids, and writing and reviewing content, client demands and deadlines mean you will work very collaboratively as a team. Despite the Team Leader playing a pivotal role in the day-to-day management / support of the team, each Bid Consultant is supported in developing their leadership skills, with commensurate responsibilities introduced when appropriate.

As well as a competitive salary, the package includes a number of other benefits, such as:

Bonus scheme (linked to company performance).
Paid for social schedule, including quarterly team activities and regular lunches.
Paid for phone / contract.
Pension scheme.
Initially 25 days holiday (plus bank holidays) that increases over time based on length of service, and the ability to buy / sell days.

What's the opportunity?

Due to continued success and growth, we are looking for like-minded individuals to join a professional and passionate team:

Role: Full time, permanent; Mon to Fri, 8.30am to 5:00pm (37.5 hours per week), although flexibility will be required (due to work demands).
Location: Leeds City Centre – Monday and Wednesday in the office, the other three days working remotely.
Salary: £30,000 - £45,000 per annum, dependent on skills and experience.

Our client believes that the experience gained within bid management, writing (bid / copy / creative) and / or editorial roles provide a great platform for becoming a Bid Consultant. It's also important to have a relevant degree (Journalism / English / History, for example).

What skills do I need?

Excellent editing and written communications skills.
Ability to correctly analyse / interpret documents / text.
A first-rate problem-solver with strong attention to detail.
Strong project management skills and able to prioritise workload effectively.
Ability to work to a high standard consistently, under pressure and meet tight deadlines.
Strong interpersonal skills and able to deal with people at all levels.
Ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
Strong customer focus and desire to help them win.
Empathy with customers and colleagues.
Highly capable user of Microsoft Office.

Tell me more about the role:

As a Bid Consultant, you will primarily lead / manage tenders on behalf of customers, which includes:

Managing subject matter experts (SMEs) through the tender production process, ensuring the resultant response is compelling and high scoring.
Utilising various tools to assist SMEs with the production of their answers.
Writing / reviewing / editing answers and providing written / oral feedback and guidance.
Participating in a variety of customer meetings..
