About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced bid writer to join our Bid Team. You’ll be working across a number of bids and proposals at once, providing writing support to make our bids read beautifully.

If you’re:

• Looking for a high-tempo, varied role, writing for a range of public and private sector clients
• Confident writing clear, compelling bid responses across a range of subject matter areas and verticals
• Able to adopt our ‘clear, confident and conversational’ BJSS tone of voice
• Eager to learn everything there is to know about our industry, upskilling on all things digital
• Excited about using your brilliant linguistic skills to add value to our vital work-winning activity…

… we’d love to hear from you!

You’ll work with Bid Managers, salespeople and teams of subject matter experts to deliver high-quality, compelling bids, proposals and presentations that showcase the very best of BJSS and speak to what our clients really want.

You’ll join a close-knit team of Bid Managers, Bid Coordinators and reviewers who work together to achieve the best results for every bid.

If you’re up against a deadline, need advice on how to tackle a response or want some help with the administrative aspects of the submission, we’ve got you covered.

The whole team also works with the wider business to improve our approach to bid and proposal creation.

• Recent experience in a technical bid writing role, writing formal bids for the public and private sectors. Ideally, you’ll have experience in the digital sector
