Junior Bid Writer Role

About the role:

Are you a persuasive and talented writer with a sharp eye for detail, the ability to manage multiple priorities, and a keen desire to collaborate with a diverse team? We have an exciting and unique opportunity for a motivated and detail-focused individual to begin a career with ProFM Group as a Junior Bid Writer.

The role will suit someone who thrives in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment and is confident engaging with others to gather insights, plan responses, and shape compelling narratives. Our ideal candidate will understand the role that intelligent, insightful, and well-written content plays in securing that next major deal, and how what they write can help pave the way for future successes.

Working as part of a supportive Sales and Marketing team, you’ll play a key role in producing persuasive, high-quality written content for bids and proposals across a variety of sectors. That’s all in line with achieving our ambitious growth targets and expanding our client base.

You’ll need excellent writing skills, a keen eye for accuracy, and the ability to adapt your tone and messaging for different audiences. Prior experience in working with B2B communications would be ideal, but isn’t a necessity for this position.

This is more than just a writing role; it’s a chance to contribute to the development of creative, customer-focused solutions in collaboration with subject matter experts and senior stakeholders.

• Adapt and rework existing content to meet bespoke bid specifications and ensure a consistent tone of voice and adherence to brand guidelines.
• Proactively using AI tools and software to support response development and content refinement.
• Support the creation of case studies and model answers for the bid library during quieter bid periods.
• Provide regular updates to internal stakeholders, keeping them informed of bid progress and outcomes, and actively engaging with vendors to secure favourable terms and costs.
• Stay informed about industry trends and best practices to continuously enhance our bid processes, driving innovation in our approach to security service bidding.
• Assist with ad-hoc creative copywriting tasks where required.

Your Skills/Experience:

• Experience in copywriting is preferable, but mindset and drive are key.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications.
• A degree in English Language/Literature or Creative Writing would be advantageous.
• Excellent written communication skills, with attention to detail, and a genuine interest in the subject matter.

• Excellent communication skills and professionalism, with the ability to understand briefs effectively.
• Ability to work independently and within a team environment.
• Demonstrates enthusiasm and a strong desire to learn and grow professionally.
• Good project management and organisational skills, allowing you to efficiently manage multiple bid opportunities simultaneously, all while still adhering to deadlines.
• Strong written and verbal communication abilities are essential in effectively collaborating with internal teams and external stakeholders, ensuring clarity and professionalism.
• Able to take feedback constructively and adapt quickly.
