- Driving development of bid value proposition, win themes and client 'hot buttons', and ensuring these are reflected appropriately throughout our bids
- Maximising 'readability' through excellent written communication skills, including use of Plain English and by being concise
- Supporting and educating bid teams on best practice, such as effective bid writing, storyboarding and the bid review process
- Building relationships across our team and the wider business, including with a network of subject matter experts company-wide, and using these relationships to maximise your output.
Person requirements
- Degree-level qualification or equivalent, and the ability to demonstrate your written and editorial skills through a well-constructed CV and samples of your own work
- Experience of writing, proofreading and copyediting - and a strong commitment to accuracy, consistency, quality and high standards, often despite tight deadlines
- Good interpersonal skills with confidence to challenge and escalate issues appropriately
- Strong time and project management skills with ability to prioritise
