  • Coordinate input from senior stakeholders across practices, sectors and geographies
  • Develop and embed best practice approaches to pitching and proposal management
  • Support business development, client retention and growth initiatives
  • Prepare pitch presentations and coach senior stakeholders as required
  • Line manage and develop members of the bids team
  • Manage multiple concurrent projects to demanding deadlines

Candidate Requirements

  • Minimum of 5 years’ experience in bids, pitches or proposals, ideally within legal or professional services
  • Proven track record leading complex, high-value, multi-jurisdictional bids
  • Strong bid management and project management skills
  • Exceptional writing, editing and presentation abilities with meticulous attention to detail
  • Confident stakeholder management skills, including experience working with senior leaders
  • Previous line management experience within a bids or proposals team
  • Ability to adapt quickly, remain flexible and perform under pressure
