Job description

Are you an experienced Bid Manager who enjoys owning the full bid process from start to finish? We’re working with an established procurement and finance software business looking for a confident Bid Manager to take ownership of RFPs and structured bid activity across a busy, high-value market.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who understands formal bid processes, especially where public sector or procurement-led buying processes are involved. You’ll be the dedicated bid specialist, managing bids end-to-end and helping the business respond clearly, professionally and commercially to new opportunities.

Why You’ll Love this Role:

πŸš€ Sole Bid Manager Role: Take real ownership of the bid function rather than sitting in a large bid team.

πŸ“„ End-to-End Responsibility: Manage the full bid process from initial RFP through to submission.

πŸ›οΈ Public Sector Exposure: Work on structured bid processes where compliance, detail and clarity really matter.

πŸ’Ό Established Software Business: Join a company operating in procurement, spend management and finance automation.

🏑 Remote-Led Role: Work remotely with occasional travel to the Reading office when needed.

🎯 Performance Bonus: Package includes a Β£55k–£65k base plus 10% performance bonus.

Your Key Responsibilities:

πŸ”Ή Own and manage the end-to-end bid process.

πŸ”Ή Coordinate responses to RFPs and formal procurement opportunities.

πŸ”Ή Work closely with sales, pre-sales, product and leadership teams to gather the right information.

πŸ”Ή Ensure bid responses are accurate, compliant, compelling and submitted on time.

πŸ”Ή Bring structure, process and accountability to each bid.

πŸ”Ή Help improve bid content, templates and response quality over time.

πŸ”Ή Travel occasionally to the Reading office when required.

What We’re Looking For:

πŸ”Ή Proven bid management experience.

πŸ”Ή Experience managing RFPs and structured bid processes.

πŸ”Ή Strong written communication and attention to detail.

πŸ”Ή Confidence owning the bid process independently.

πŸ”Ή Experience in software, procurement, public sector or finance-related markets would be advantageous.

πŸ”Ή Strong organisation, stakeholder management and deadline control.

πŸ”Ή Comfortable working remotely, with occasional travel when required.
