Job Description:

Our aim at Made Tech is to use human-centred technology to improve our society. We believe putting people at the heart of designing, building and delivering public services leads to better outcomes for everyone. Reporting to the Head of Bids and Frameworks, you'll manage bids from early presales to proposal submission, working as part of a dynamic, enthusiastic, and well-respected team that has a genuine passion for all things bids. As part of this exceptionally high-performing function, you’ll coordinate your teams to produce winning responses to multimillion-pound tenders, while developing your skills in an environment that champions continuous improvement and learning. You'll benefit from mentorship by our Senior and Lead Bid Managers, who will support you through increasingly complex opportunities as your experience grows. Beyond day-to-day bid delivery, you'll contribute to our active bid community of practice, where you'll find opportunities to practise and refine new skills: from process improvement and presenting, to peer reviewing and cross-team collaboration. This is an exciting opportunity to join one of Made Tech's most critical functions, where you'll be part of a collaborative team as committed to your development as we are to delivering winning bids.

  • Manage bid governance coordination and qualification processes, including opportunity mailbox management.
  • Write, review, and provide constructive feedback throughout the bid process, supporting team members in producing high-quality written responses and presentations.
  • Engage with the commercial components of our submissions.
  • Take ownership of social value content and integration within bidding.
  • Maintain and continuously improve bid content libraries.
  • Manage smaller opportunities independently, with support from senior colleagues on more complex bids.
  • Actively contribute to our bid community of practice, participating in bid cop sessions and team meet-ups.
  • Drive continuous improvement through retrospectives, applying lessons learnt to enhance our bidding practices.

Requirements:

  • Experience in a bid or presales environment, in any sector
  • Direct experience of writing and reviewing proposals for new business
  • Strong creative writing skills with an eye for detail
  • Experience of coordinating teams
  • An enthusiastic and effective communicator
  • Empathy and the ability to build relationships quickly across teams and across the organisation.
  • A proactive, roll-your-sleeves-up manner, with the ability to take ownership, where problems emerge.
  • A passion to learn and develop yourself, alongside our wider processes

Nice to have:

  • Experience in B2B technology services or business process outsourcing
  • Experience working in the UK public sector
  • An understanding of agile methodologies and digital transformation, including user-centred design principles.
  • Experience in planning and delivering successful workshops
  • An understanding of social value initiatives and an ability to create and articulate them.
What we offer:
  • 30 days of paid annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Flexible Working Hours
  • Flexible Parental Leave
