The Opportunity
A growing commercial fit-out and design & build contractor is looking for a Proposals & Marketing Manager to take ownership of how the business presents itself and wins work.
You'll report directly to a Director and work closely with the Board. The role is roughly 75% proposals and 25% marketing. You'll be the person responsible for the quality of every submission and every piece of client-facing material that goes out.
About the Contractor
The business delivers commercial fit-out and design & build projects. Its business development, pre-construction, commercial, design and delivery teams all work closely together.
They're growing and want someone to raise the standard of their tenders, build the brand and improve their conversion rate. This would suit a bid or proposals professional who wants real ownership rather than working from someone else's templates.
The Role
- Lead PQQ, ITT and tender submissions from receipt through to submission, setting programmes, responsibilities and deadlines.
- Coordinate input from the commercial, pre-construction, design and delivery teams and bring it together into one coherent submission.
- Write and edit tender responses, methodologies and case studies, turning technical information into clear, client-focused content.
- Design professional, on-brand submissions in Adobe InDesign.
- Prepare client presentations and interview documents.
- Maintain the bid library, CVs, project sheets and standard responses.
- Track tenders, wins, losses and conversion rates, capture feedback and use it to improve future submissions.
- Produce marketing collateral, including case studies, capability documents, brochures and presentations.
- Manage LinkedIn content and website updates, and prepare industry award submissions.
- Work with external creative, photography and video partners, manage the marketing budget and report monthly to the senior leadership team.
- At least 3 years' experience in bids, proposals or marketing, ideally in construction, fit-out, interiors or the wider built environment.
- Demonstrable experience producing PQQs, tender documentation and marketing collateral.
- Strong Adobe InDesign and Canva skills. This is essential.
- Excellent written English and a strong eye for presentation and detail.
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple deadlines and stakeholders.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Word and PowerPoint.
- APMP or other bid and proposal training.
What You'll Receive
- A salary of up to £60,000, depending on experience.
- Ownership of the company's proposals and marketing output.
- Direct reporting line to a Director and exposure to the Board.
- The opportunity to develop with a growing and ambitious business.
