* Oversee a team of bid professionals and estimators, ensuring timely, high-quality submissions
* Identify new market opportunities and growth sectors including compliance (M&E), maintenance, and retrofit projects
* Develop and maintain key strategic relationships with clients, partners, and stakeholders
* Manage framework agreements to maximise opportunities (e.g., NHMF, F21)
* Maintain and enhance governance, reporting, and CRM tracking processes
* Ensure commercial robustness, risk management and compliance in all bids
* Continuously improve bid strategy through gap analysis, competitor insights, and team development
*
Ideal Candidate:
