Bid Manager (Business Development)

Counterculture Partnership LLP helps cultural, educational, and creative organisations to plan, manage, and thrive. We work for public bodies, businesses, not-for-profits, clubs, and individuals – locally, nationally, and internationally. Our partners and associates provide clients with specialist professional services across strategy, policy, governance, management, finance, law, and capital projects. We are consultants, accountants, solicitors, project managers, and fundraisers (we’re also musicians, artists, historians & writers).

Our approach is friendly but rigorous. Depending on the assignment, we can be strategic provocateurs or a safe pair of hands; big-picture thinkers or detailed analysts; ambitious planners or can-do problem-solvers – whatever’s required to get the right result for our clients.

We are looking for a high-quality individual to join our team. The Bid Manager will work with our team to project manage high quality tender returns, oversee the pipeline of new business opportunities and keep us to time and quality standards. We want someone who can lead the development and implementation of internal systems, create compelling content and showcase the Counterculture brand to our clients and future clients.

The Bid Manager will provide essential support to the Director, Business Development and Events. The successful candidate will lead on the strategic development and delivery of tenders and proposals to deliver improved conversion rates and secure new contracts for the business. We require a confident individual who can drive change and shape new, more effective ways of working. The role is a busy one requiring excellent organisational skills, strong written and verbal skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently and collaboratively with colleagues
