Bid Manager
Position Description
At CGI, you’ll help shape and win complex, high-value opportunities that drive meaningful outcomes for our clients and business. As a Senior Bid Manager within our Leeds Business Unit, you’ll lead strategic bids, work with experts across CGI, and play a key role in delivering growth through high-quality, compelling proposals.
CGI was recognised in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work List 2025 and named a UK ‘Best Employer’ by the Financial Times. We offer a competitive salary, strong pension, private healthcare, and a share scheme (3.5% + 3.5% matching), making you a CGI Partner, not just an employee. Join a collaborative, inclusive community where you’ll be supported to grow your career.
Your future duties and responsibilities
You’ll lead end-to-end bid activity for strategic opportunities, developing winning strategies and ensuring submissions are high quality, compliant, and commercially strong. Working closely with sales, capture, and technical teams, you’ll help improve win rates and deliver measurable business impact.
You’ll also support continuous improvement across the bid function by managing governance, stakeholder engagement, risk, and performance reporting while bringing fresh ideas and structure to every pursuit.
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.
