Role: Bid Coordinator

Location: Manchester (Hybrid, 2 days in office)

We're looking for an organised, proactive and enthusiastic Bid Coordinator to join our Manchester team. If you enjoy bringing structure to busy environments, supporting others, and taking ownership of detailed tasks, this could be a great next step for you.

You'll play a key role in supporting the Bids Team, helping keep our bids on track from opportunity identification through to submission. Full training and guidance will be provided, so if you're someone who is curious, eager to learn and confident asking questions, you'll thrive here.

Portal & Document Administration

• Keep tender portals updated and maintain accurate company information.

• Research clients and competitors to support bid strategies.
• Work with internal teams to gather content and information.

• Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail.
• Clear, confident written communication and proofreading ability.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Good Microsoft Office skills;
