What you'll do at work

  • Run social media channels (e.g. Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn) to enhance audience engagement
  • Work closely with in-house or external creative agencies to design marketing materials such as brochures and adverts
  • Maintain and update customer databases

  • Support the marketing manager in delivering agreed activities
  • Source advertising opportunities and place adverts in the press or on the radio
  • Create awareness of and develop the brand you're marketing
  • Communicate with target audiences and build and develop customer relationships
  • Bid Writing Support: Draft and edit sections of Selection Questionnaires, method statements and tender responses in Microsoft Word, following guidance and templates
  • Content & Evidence Gathering: Collect and organise case studies, client references, CVs, policies and proof points using SharePoint, ensuring information is current and easy to find
  • Marketing-Led Value Propositions: Help develop clear, customer-focused messaging that explains our approach, differentiators and outcomes in plain English
  • Research & Insight: Carry out competitor and customer research (online/LinkedIn and desk-based), summarising key insights that strengthen our responses and positioning
  • Compliance & Document Control: Build and maintain question/response trackers, ensure word counts and submission instructions are met, and keep version control tidy
  • Quality Checks: Proofread for spelling, grammar, consistency, and formatting; cross-check facts, dates and references; and ensure the final document looks professional
  • Submission Support & Delivery Targets: Support packaging and uploading submissions to client portals where required, and work to weekly targets (c. 1 quality bid and 2 Selection Questionnaires), escalating risks early if deadlines are at risk
  • Continuous Improvement: Participate in bid kick-offs and brainstorm sessions, bringing ideas to improve scoring, structure and competitive advantage
