This role is responsible for ensuring that every tender and RFP submission is accurate, compliant, and delivered on time, but critically, that each submission is compelling, customer specific, and clearly articulates Terminalfour’s value in the context of the institution’s challenges and priorities. /ppYou will lead a team of bid writers, coordinating multiple concurrent submissions across geographies, while acting as the editorial and quality authority for all bid responses. The role combines team leadership, narrative and messaging ownership, stakeholder coordination, and rigorous quality assurance, with hands-on involvement where required to support priority bids. /ppThis is not a purely administrative or volume-driven bid role. Success is measured by the consistency, clarity, and persuasiveness of our submissions, and by the ability of the team to tailor messaging to each customer rather than relying on generic responses. For clarity, the term “bid” can relate to proposals, RFIs, RFPs, RFTs and framework agreement proposals. /ppWe are particularly seeking someone who has thrived in a growth-stage or mid-sized organisation, where success depends on being hands-on, adaptable, and comfortable leading in a collaborative environment rather than operating within a large corporate bid machine. This role will suit someone who enjoys building capability, raising standards, and contributing directly to how a bid function evolves. /ph3Bid Leadership,
