Executive Compass
Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tyne And Wear
About us Every day in the UK, bodies such as local councils, government departments and housing associations procure goods and services through the competitive tender process. This process requires organisations to create written bids (proposals), responding to various questions about their proposed approaches, in order to be awarded a contract. Executive Compass is an independent bid writing company which exists to support these organisations to write high-quality, detailed, and persuasive proposals and maximise their likelihood of success. Based in Newcastle upon Tyne but supporting organisations across the whole of the UK, we now have a vacancy for up to four experienced bid writers to join our team.

Working arrangements As a Senior Bid Writer, you will work as part of our established team either remotely from home (using a high-spec company PC and up to three flat-screen monitors - all provided and delivered to you) or at our Hoults Yard office in Newcastle Upon Tyne, with hybrid flexible working arrangements always considered. Currently, around half our team of 30 work remotely and half are office-based in Newcastle. Those working at home have frequent and regular interaction with the team including a daily morning meeting and periodic office visits.

The role therefore requires you to be hardworking with excellent attention to detail, as well as an ability to work independently and manage your own workload, but support is always available via the team of fellow bid writers and managers. Some work outside of typical office hours may occasionally be required. Main duties Main duties for the role include: Creating business-winning written responses (minimum output of 1,500 words per day) that support the client to maximise their likelihood of success Project managing the process from end-to-end on your own initiative, ensuring that submission deadlines are always met Speaking with clients and helping to manage client relationships Helping to maintain bid libraries (records of documentation relevant to each client) In line with your development, opportunities will be made available to incorporate additional duties, such as: Becoming a specialist bid writer in a chosen field; current team members specialise in health and social care, construction, property services and other disciplines Supporting with internal quality assurance checks Offering guidance and assistance to other writers Reviewing successful and unsuccessful submissions, feedback and lessons learned to assist with our continuous improvement Becoming involved in all parts of the business, including strategy, sales, business development and more.

Successful candidates will be enthusiastic, ambitious and committed. Strong IT skills and outstanding writing, editing and verbal communication skills are essential, and you should be educated to degree level or above. While a business-related or English degree may be preferable, candidates with a degree in any discipline which has required them to write to a high quality (e.g. humanities, languages etc.) should feel confident to apply. Members of our team have studied Economics, History, German, Law, English Literature, Engineering, Business Studies, Crime Science, Politics and more, translating their skills and abilities in writing and research to become successful bid writers. Salary: Starting at £35,000 and currently rising to £45,000 plus performance related bonuses of up to £8,000 p.a. from the outset. Details of our pay bands and incremental scale will be share during the recruitment process.
