Kelly Fowler
Lead Talent Partner
Full Time
Nottingham, Nottinghamshire
£55,000
About the OrganisationOur client is a market-leading technology business operating within the public sector, delivering intelligent solutions that modernise and optimise complex service environments. With a collaborative, international culture and strong growth ambitions — including the development of a UK centre of excellence — this is an exciting time to join a business that is genuinely invested in its people and its future.
The Opportunity
This is a great opportunity for a bid professional who wants to develop within a genuinely international environment, working across UK and global tenders. You will take ownership of the full bid lifecycle — from qualification through to submission and post-bid review — collaborating closely with commercial, technical, and senior stakeholder teams across the UK and internationally.
Rather than a rigid set of sector-specific requirements, this business is looking for the right behaviours, mindset, and transferable skills. If you have a genuine passion for winning and the drive to lead a process, this could be the role for you.
What This Hiring Manager Actually Wants
|
1. AI & Technology Literate The team actively uses AI tools to speed up and standardise bid production. You don’t need to be a developer, but you should be comfortable with modern technology and understand how AI can support the bid process — not just in theory, but in practice. 2. A Process Leader You will need to be the person who holds the bid together — accountable for the process, the stages, and the people contributing to it. This isn’t about managing a large team; it’s about having the confidence to drive a cross-functional bid forward, sometimes in pressured and fast-moving situations. 3. Comfortable in an International Environment Tenders can span the UK and beyond — from domestic transport projects to international opportunities in places like Australia or mainland Europe. You will work with colleagues globally, and periodic travel will be part of the role. A flexible, culturally aware approach is essential. 4. Growth Mindset & Positive Outlook This one matters most. The business is growing and building its culture deliberately. They want someone who is solution-focused and team-oriented — someone whose first instinct is ‘here’s how we fix it’ rather than ‘here’s why it didn’t work’. Energy, accountability, and a positive presence will go a long way here. |
