You will play a key role in developing high-quality written content for bids and proposals, ensuring responses are compelling, compliant, and clearly articulate our clients' solutions.

• Research and incorporate relevant statistics and supporting evidence into proposals.
• Manage the editorial aspects of the bid process, ensuring clarity, consistency, and compliance.
• Develop reusable content and collateral to support future bids.
• Support bid coordination and contribute to a high-performance, win-focused team culture.
• Attend meetings and site visits as required to inform bid content and strategy.
