Job Title: Naimuri - Bid Coordinator
Job Location: Salford Quays, Manchester
Job Type: Permanent, Fulltime
Job ID: 20640
About the Role:
The Bid Coordinator will primarily assist with our wider Business Development (BD) activities by facilitating and ensuring adherence to each stage (e.g. pre-qualification, qualification, proposal development and approval/sign-off) of Naimuri’s formally documented end-to-end bid processes for each of our three sectors.
The Bid Coordinator will also contribute to the creation and maintenance of Naimuri’s case study and CV libraries, liaising with stakeholders from across the business to ensure both resource libraries are kept up to date and available for immediate deployment.
Working closely with our Head of Bidding, Sector Leads and Sector BD Leads, the Bid Coordinator’s core responsibilities will include:
- Assisting with monitoring several framework portals, to effectively identify new bid opportunities that are aligned to Naimuri’s key capabilities and values.
- Scheduling qualification, storyboarding sessions and review calls, as required - With several ongoing bids running concurrently alongside other preparatory business development and marketing activities, this is a key task.
- Maintaining bid folder hierarchies, to enable effective internal knowledge management.
- Collaborating proactively and effectively with several bid teams concurrently (often remotely, using SLACK), and coordinating proposal input sourced from a variety of stakeholders (i.e. technical, marketing, delivery, commercial and legal.)
- Championing version control best practices, and ensuring proposal documents adhere to Naimuri’s branding guidelines, standard formatting quality, and security standards.
- Coordinating additions and amendments to our case study (e.g. Project Log) and CV libraries, generating artefacts where needed, and liaising with Tech, Delivery and Capability Leads from across the business as necessary to ensure these resources are kept up to date.
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.
However, as a small company, the successful candidate must be prepared to pitch in with other related tasks, and deliver high-quality outputs to tight deadlines when required.
This is a role that is embedded within the Business Development function of the business; in addition to providing a solid grounding in Bid Management, it also provides excellent opportunities to work closely with our marketing, technical and customer-facing SMEs.
Experience of working in capture or bidding or procurement is desirable but not essential. If not already acquired, a desire to work towards attaining APMP Foundation certification would be advantageous.
Strong IT literacy, organisational, communication and collaboration skills are all prerequisites for this role. Being able to evidence high standards of written English, and the ability to prioritise and take initiative within a dynamic environment whilst paying attention to detail, are also core skills required for this role.
A degree of fluency with Google Workspace tools (e.g. Docs, Sheets, Slides etc) and MS Office tools (e.g. Word, Excel etc) is advantageous, although not essential as full training will be provided.
