MADE Careers is working with a leading international architecture and design practice looking to appoint an experienced Senior Bid Coordinator to its London team.
This is a strategic bid role, working closely with senior leadership and design teams from early positioning and win strategy through to final submission.
You’ll take ownership of complex pursuits, helping teams develop the right approach and messaging while ensuring submissions are well coordinated, fully compliant and delivered to a high standard. This reflects the original brief’s emphasis on strategic positioning rather than bid production alone.
The Role
You’ll manage major bids from early qualification through to submission, combining strategy, coordination and conformance.
Alongside bids, you’ll contribute to wider market research, campaigns and business development activity.
