Proposal and Enablement Manager

Role Overview

We’re looking for a Proposal and Enablement Manager to join our growing MBDC team. You’ll play a key role across two important areas of the Group’s commercial activity: managing proposals and pitches, and supporting the delivery of our Group-wide commercial enablement programme.

What You Will Do

You’ll create, manage and coordinate proposals and pitches from the initial opportunity through to submission and follow-up. You’ll work with fee earners and MBDC colleagues to develop strong, client-focused proposals and make sure everyone knows what needs to happen and when.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You’ll be responsible for keeping proposals moving, managing deadlines and making sure high-quality submissions get out of the door on time. You’ll also support the delivery of the enablement programme whilst making sure proposals are well managed, compelling and delivered on time.

Requirements

• Experience in proposals, bids, business development or a similar commercial role
• Experience managing or coordinating proposals through to submission
• Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to turn information into clear and persuasive client-facing content
• Strong organisational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple deadlines and stakeholders
• Some people management experience, with the confidence to set expectations, support performance and develop others
• A proactive and responsive approach, with a strong focus on getting things done
• The confidence to work with fee earners, senior stakeholders and colleagues across the business
• Experience in a professional services environment would be highly beneficial, particularly if you’ve worked in a similar-sized firm where you’ve needed to be hands-on across a broad range of activity

Benefits

• Varied role with responsibility for both the day-to-day delivery of proposals and pitches and the coordination of wider commercial enablement activity
• Opportunity to work with a broad range of people across the Group, including client facing team members, MBDC colleagues and senior stakeholders
• Ability to see the impact of your work, from getting an important proposal out of the door to helping turn wider commercial priorities into action
