The Role

The bid manager plays a key role in supporting the commercial success of the National Express Bus across the UK. Reporting directly to the Senior Commercial Manager, the role is responsible for orchestrating the delivery of high-quality, compelling bid submissions for major contracts. You will bridge the gap between strategic intent and technical execution, ensuring every tender response is innovative, compliant, and positioned to win. This role requires exceptional attention to detail, the ability to thrive under the pressure of tight deadlines.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
