A globally recognised, multi-award-winning architectural practice is seeking a talented Bid & Proposals Coordinator to join its thriving London studio.
This is an exciting opportunity to join one of the world's most influential design firms at a particularly exciting point in its growth journey. Following a period of exceptional expansion and continued international success, the practice has seen significant growth across its global studios and is performing exceptionally well across multiple sectors and markets.
As a result, this is a newly created role, offering the chance to play a key part within a growing, highly successful business while building your career within an internationally respected design practice.
Why This Role Stands Out
This is a studio-based role, offering daily collaboration with architects, designers, marketing professionals, and senior stakeholders in a creative environment where ideas, innovation, and strategic discussions happen in real time.
You'll benefit from:
- Working alongside industry-leading architects and design professionals.
- Gaining exposure to landmark projects and strategic pursuits around the world.
- Building relationships with senior decision-makers across the practice.
- Joining a business that is continuing to invest, grow, and succeed internationally.
- Enjoying excellent visibility and genuine opportunities for professional development and progression.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
For ambitious bid and proposals professionals, this is an opportunity to develop your skills within one of the most respected names in architecture.
The Role
This is a highly creative and collaborative position that combines strategic thinking, compelling storytelling, and visual communication.
The role would particularly suit a bid professional who enjoys the creative side of submissions and wants to spend more time developing engaging narratives, impactful presentations, and strategic pursuits rather than focusing solely on process-driven tender responses.
Key responsibilities include:
- Coordinating and delivering high-quality bids, proposals, and tender submissions.
- Producing compelling new business documents, presentations, and pitch materials.
- Developing creative bid strategies and shaping persuasive submission narratives.
- Creating visually engaging layouts and presentations that reflect the practice's design excellence.
- Editing and refining content to ensure clarity, consistency, and impact.
- Collaborating with international teams and senior leadership on strategic pursuits across a diverse range of sectors.
- Supporting the development of new business initiatives and client engagement activities.

This is an environment where collaboration, creativity, and professional development are genuinely encouraged, making it an ideal setting for someone looking to take the next step in their career.
