Your role

• Formatting and proofreading tender documents to a high standard

• Tracking submission deadlines and coordinating input from other teams

• Maintaining content databases, tender registers, templates, document control, and the centralised information library

The ideal candidate will have:

• Strong, confident use of Microsoft Word, including styles, formatting, tables, track changes and templates

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with a strong attention to detail

• Previous administrative experience – ideally bid/tender-related, though training will be provided for the right person

• Ability to manage several submissions and deadlines at once, with a proactive, adaptable approach

What's in it for you?

• Competitive salary and genuine flexibility on days and hours

• Exposure to the broader marketing function

• Long-term, stable position with a well-established and growing business

• Supportive, people-focused culture
