Proposals Manager
Location: Remote (UK-based) with travel to London as required Contract: Permanent Salary: Competitive + Private Healthcare + Flexible Benefits
Summary
We have an excellent opportunity for a Proposal Manager to join the Work Winning Team within NG Bailey Facilities Services.
This is a pivotal role where you’ll take ownership of the end-to-end proposal process, leading the development of high-quality, client-focused submissions that help secure new business and retain key clients.
You’ll have the opportunity to see the whole journey of a proposal – from initial concept through to final presentation – with the freedom to make your mark and shape how we present ourselves to clients.
Partnering closely with our Solutions Directors, you’ll collaborate across multiple business streams – including Operations, HR, Legal, IT, and Energy – to create compelling, compliant, and strategically aligned proposals that reflect our values and growth strategy.
This is a hybrid/remote position with flexibility to work from home and travel occasionally to our London office for collaboration and key meetings.
Some of the key deliverables in this role will include:
* Managing the end-to-end proposal process for RFIs, PQQs, ITTs, RFPs, and client presentations.
* Producing engaging, persuasive, and professionally presented submissions that showcase NG Bailey’s capabilities and value proposition.
* Partnering with subject matter experts (SMEs) across departments to gather and refine high-quality content aligned to client needs.
* Leading storyboarding sessions and developing executive summaries and win themes that tell a compelling story.
* Working closely with the Solutions Directors, work winning and operations teams to ensure all submissions are client-focused and strategically positioned.
* Maintaining and improving proposal templates, content libraries, and proposal standards.
* Supporting with client presentations and other work-winning activities as required.
What we’re looking for:
We’re looking for a proactive, detail-oriented, and confident communicator who enjoys taking full ownership of the proposal process and thrives on collaboration.
You’ll ideally already be working as a Proposal or an experienced Bid writer, but we’re also open to experienced Bid Coordinators ready to step up into a more autonomous role.
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
* Proven experience in proposal or bid management, ideally within hard FM, construction, or professional services.
* Strong writing, editing, and formatting skills with a keen eye for detail and storytelling.
* Excellent stakeholder management skills – able to coordinate inputs across multiple departments and drive projects to completion.
* Familiarity with procurement processes and tendering frameworks (public and private sector).
* The ability to manage multiple projects, prioritise effectively, and meet tight deadlines.
* Proficiency in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint.
* (Desirable) APMP Foundation certification
