We are seeking a proactive, commercially minded, and highly organised Bid & New Business Manager to lead and coordinate the practice’s business development and bid activities within a fast-paced architectural environment. This role combines strategic new business development with the management and delivery of compelling bid submissions. This is a key role in supporting the continued growth and profile of the practice.
Working closely with Directors, Project Teams, Graphics, Research, and Communications teams, they will drive strategic business development initiatives while overseeing the preparation of high-quality bid submissions, presentations, and new business materials.
This role requires an individual with proven experience within the architectural sector who is equally comfortable managing relationships and producing engaging, well-structured bid content. A creative and analytical mindset is essential, alongside strong storytelling and content development skills that communicate the practice’s design ethos, expertise, and value proposition effectively.
The ideal candidate will be confident working both independently and collaboratively, able to take initiative, and capable of building long-term value through strong client relationships, market awareness, and strategic thinking. Excellent organisational, communication, and time-management skills are essential, as is the ability to thrive in a dynamic and deadline-driven environment.
