About Legends Global
Legends Global is redefining excellence in sport, entertainment and live events. With unrivalled expertise and international reach, we provide end-to-end solutions – from venue development and event programming to revenue strategy and hospitality. We take a 360‑degree, data‑driven approach across Partnerships, Hospitality, Merchandise and Attractions, working with leading clients to deliver outstanding experiences that resonate worldwide. Our organisation is committed to fostering an inclusive and forward‑thinking environment where diversity drives innovation and collaboration. Guided by our values of Align, Scale, Connect, Team and Win, we create a culture where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
The Role
The Bid Writer will play a hands‑on role in writing and delivering competitive bids and tenders, supporting the Legends Global Business Development team to win new business and drive growth by producing high-quality written submissions—personally drafting, rewriting and refining bids, proposals and sales collateral in response to formal procurement processes.
The role has a strong emphasis on writing substantial sections of long‑form tender responses, translating technical and operational content into clear, compelling narratives that align to our win themes, client priorities and published evaluation criteria.
You will be responsible for core bid‑writing activity, helping to maintain and continuously improve our bid library, templates and case studies to increase speed, quality and consistency across submissions. You will also support document control and version management via SharePoint, build polished presentation materials in PowerPoint, and assist with CRM hygiene and pipeline tracking as part of an end‑to‑end bid lifecycle.
We’re seeking a positive, energetic and commercially aware professional with proven, hands‑on experience writing competitive bids or tenders and proven experience in a bid role. This role is not a general marketing or creative copywriting position; it requires an organised, detail‑driven writer with excellent judgement, able to work confidently with subject matter experts and stakeholders to deliver fully compliant, submission‑ready bids under tight deadlines.
Key Responsibilities
* Draft, write and edit fully compliant tender responses, EOIs, proposals and capability statements—turning complex/technical inputs into clear, persuasive client‑facing copy against published scoring criteria.
* Work with subject matter experts to gather content, conduct structured interviews, and shape win themes, storyboards and key messages across sections in line with bid strategies and evaluation models.
* Manage bid coordination fundamentals: response matrices, compliance checks, formatting, file naming, approvals routing, portal submissions and deadline management.
* Maintain and curate the bid library in SharePoint—reusable content, templates, boilerplate responses, CVs, project sheets and case studies—ensuring version control and easy retrieval.
* Produce and refresh PowerPoint pitch decks and proposal presentations, ensuring strong narrative flow, brand consistency and high‑quality visual communication.
* Quality assurance across submissions: proof‑read for grammar, clarity and consistency; validate evidence, metrics and case studies; ensure tone of voice aligns to the Legends Global brand.
* Support CRM and pipeline hygiene—update opportunities, contacts and notes; track bid stages and outcomes; generate weekly pursuit activity and status reports when required.
* Drive continuous improvement through post‑submission lessons learned, debrief notes and content updates to strengthen future bids and improve speed‑to‑market and win rates.
Candidate Profile
* Formal education in communications, marketing, business, journalism or a related discipline (or equivalent professional experience).
* Proven, demonstrable experience writing and managing competitive bids, tenders or RFP responses within a medium to large scale organisation.
* Direct experience of working within formal procurement or regulated bidding environments (public sector, concessions, facilities, infrastructure, sport/entertainment, or comparable sectors preferred).
* Full professional fluency in English is required, with exceptional written skills and a strong eye for detail, specifically within long‑form, structured bid responses.
* Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced environment, manage multiple priorities, and deliver high‑quality work to tight deadlines.
* Strong stakeholder management skills—able to collaborate with technical teams and senior leaders to capture content and drive review cycles.
* Confident working with templates and brand guidelines, and comfortable handling sensitive/confidential information, including commercially sensitive bid data.
* Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Word (long‑form formatting, styles, layouts) and strong capability in PowerPoint; proficient in SharePoint and working with CRM databases and bid portals (plus Excel and other Office tools).
