Strategic Bid Lead

Job description

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
• Consulting / professional services

And bring experience in:

• 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
• Operating in scaling or entrepreneurial environments

Bonus if you have:

• 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
