Bid Manager

Job description

A specialist FM bid team is looking for a Bid Manager who’s tenacious, proactive, and confident owning complex bids from qualification to submission. This is a fully remote role within a modernising bid function that values autonomy, balance, and high quality delivery.

The role

Lead end to end FM bids – typically multi million pound opportunities across public and private sectors. Manage timelines, coordinate SMEs, shape solutions, review and refine content, and ensure every submission is compelling, compliant, and commercially sound. Expect 3–4 bids at different stages, supported by experienced bid writers and a collaborative, improvement focused leadership team.

What you’ll be doing

• Running full bid cycles – storyboarding, solution shaping, content editing, governance, and final submission
• Reviewing and refining content produced by dedicated bid writers and SMEs
• Coordinating virtual contributors across operations, finance, legal and technical functions
• Supporting pricing development and understanding risk, margin drivers and FM commercial models
• Maintaining and improving an FM bid library, including use of AI tools to accelerate bid development
• Handling clarifications and supporting presentations post submission

What’s needed

• Experience managing FM or FM adjacent bids, ideally across hard/soft services or TFM environments
• Strong writing/editing skills and the ability to turn technical solutions into clear, winning narratives
• Confident project management of multiple, parallel bids
• Remote working discipline with excellent communication and coordination capability
• Commercial awareness of FM delivery models, SLAs/KPIs, mobilisation and procurement frameworks

What makes this role attractive

A supportive, non micromanaging Bid Director focused on improving processes, building a strong library, modernising tools, and protecting work life balance. Flexibility is built in, and output (not hours) is what matters.
