Bid Manager
Hybrid – Home & Mansfield
£55,000 - £60,000 Basic + Internal and External Training + Professional Development + Life Cover + Pension
On offer is the chance to join a well-established creative agency that partners with some of the UK’s most recognisable consumer and lifestyle brands. This is a fantastic opportunity for a Bid Manager who thrives in a fast-paced, commercially driven environment, one where creativity, tone, and brand voice matter as much as compliance. You’ll be working closely with a long-standing Head of Bids and supported by an in-house designer to help bring pitches to life. It’s an ideal role for someone who enjoys crafting compelling narratives for B2B clients rather than working to a rigid, public sector scoring matrix.
The business is a long-established and growing force within the creative and marketing sector, supporting a diverse range of well-known B2B and consumer-facing brands. This Bid Manager role will involve leading on creative, commercially focused proposals, often fast paced, always varied, with support from an experienced Head of Bids and an in-house design team. It's a brilliant opportunity for someone who enjoys shaping high-impact bids in a smaller team environment, with strong visibility, freedom to influence, and genuine potential for long term growth
