About The Role
We are looking for a Senior Bid Coordinator to join our Birmingham office in a hybrid role supporting both Central Region work-winning activity and priority Public Sector bids.
This is a senior coordination role positioned at the top end of bid and proposal delivery, sitting close to bid writing and bid management responsibilities. It offers the opportunity to take on greater ownership, work on more complex submissions, and develop into a Bid Manager role over time.
You’ll play a key role in ensuring that opportunities are well-managed, bids are professionally delivered, and our teams are supported to perform at their best. Alongside this, you’ll gain exposure to high-value, multi-disciplinary Public Sector bids, providing a strong platform for progression.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being hands-on, is ready to step up in responsibility, and wants to build a long-term career in work-winning and bid management.
