🚀 Strategic Bid Lead 📍 UK (Hybrid) 🌍 Global client exposure - strong US commercial focus 💰 £50,000 - £60,000 basic + bonus + long-term upside The Opportunity: We’re partnering with a fast-scaling, international financial services business investing heavily in its commercial capability. They are building a best-in-class strategic bid function focused on converting complex, high-value enterprise opportunities into revenue through compelling value storytelling, commercial deal shaping, and cross-functional leadership This is not a traditional bid management role. This is a commercially aligned role sitting close to sales leadership, influencing win strategy and helping shape how deals are won, not only documented. If you enjoy translating complex technical, operational, or data-led propositions into clear client value - this is worth a conversation. What You’ll Be Doing: • Leading complex bids, RFIs and proposals from qualification through to submission, • Translating technical capability, data insight and product strength into clear commercial value narratives, • Acting as the bridge between Sales, Product, Operations, Finance and Compliance, • Supporting deal strategy, pricing positioning and competitive differentiation, • Building bid processes, knowledge libraries and scalable commercial content, • Partnering with senior commercial leadership to prioritise high-value opportunities, • Supporting international expansion, particularly across the US market What They’re Looking For: You’ll likely come from one of the following environments: • Financial services, • Insurance / MGA, • SaaS / technology, • Managing or shaping complex, high-value commercial opportunities, • Writing compelling, outcome-focused proposals (not template filler), • Working closely with sales and commercial leadership, • Coordinating multiple stakeholders across technical and commercial teams, • US deal exposure, • Experience supporting less mature sales functions with narrative and deal strategy, • CRM / pipeline tools experience (Dynamics or similar) Why This Role Is Different: • You help shape the commercial story - not only document it, • High visibility with senior leadership, • Real influence on win rate and revenue outcomes, • International growth exposure, • Opportunity to build something, not inherit rigid legacy process Who This Suits: Someone who: • Thinks commercially, not only operationally, • Enjoys complex deal environments, • Likes turning messy information into clear client value, • Wants to move closer to revenue strategy and commercial decision making If you’re curious, message directly for a confidential conversation or click "Apply"
