Senior Proposal Manager

We are seeking an experienced Senior Proposals Manager to provide high-level support to our sales and operational teams and to play a central role in driving top-line growth. This role leads the Proposals function, ensuring the delivery of accurate, high-quality budgets and proposals through robust tools and processes. This is not a line management role but will work closely with senior stakeholders so communication across teams is key.

You will work closely with the Global Business Development team, operations, finance, and senior stakeholders to develop competitive, compliant bids, budget and pricing strategies. You will also be responsible for managing and continuously improving proposal-related processes.

• Prepare high-quality budgets and proposals to support global business development activities.
• Review and quality-check all study budgets, proposals, RFIs, and related client responses prior to submission.
• Partner with Heads of Function to define bidding strategies, including operational and pricing approaches.
• Support account management and operational activities, including business wins and revenue recognition.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a critical commercial function and make a visible impact on business growth within a collaborative, fast-paced environment.
