Open Positions

We are seeking a Bid Coordinator to join our global pitch team to assist with responding to pitches, capability statements, and maintaining best practice tools and resources. Whilst this opportunity is based in the UK (out of either our Manchester, Birmingham or Leeds office), you'll collaborate closely with other members of the global pitch team globally, reporting to our UK Senior Bid Manager.

Our Firm

Squire Patton Boggs is one of the world's strongest integrated law firms, committed to providing insight at the point where law, business and government meet. We deliver commercially focused business solutions by combining our legal, lobbying and political capabilities and invaluable connections on the ground to a diverse mix of clients, from long-established leading corporations to emerging businesses, start-up visionaries and sovereign nations. More than 1,500 lawyers in 40+ offices across four continents provide unrivalled access to expertise. In the UK, we have offices in Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and London.

Our Team

Our global Business Development and Marketing team work together to provide frontline business development support and advice at a practice, industry and office level - much of the work being collaborative and international in nature. You will be joining a global pitch team of seven, working closely with the three other UK team members in particular.

Our Opportunity

You will be responsible for supporting Bid Managers with some of the most significant and important multi-practice pitches and Request for Proposal (RFP) responses, with particular focus on UK and EMEA opportunities. From day one you will help maintain best practice tools to assist the firm's business development, retention and expansion efforts.

You will principally work on client and target opportunities leading on completing qualification questionnaires, feeding into pitches, creating bespoke capability statements and helping with keeping best practice pitch materials and resources up to date including standard firm information.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a driven individual looking for a career with a global reach. You'll have the chance to build long lasting relationships with colleagues across the globe. This is a demanding role, and you will need to work to tight deadlines, be flexible and have excellent writing and presentation skills, with a keen attention to detail. In return you will have the opportunity to take ownership of a number of projects where your specialist input will result in the future growth and success of the firm's client base.

You

To be successful, you will ideally have 1-2 years' experience in a similar role. This role is perfect for someone who may be looking to take the next step up in their career. Experience working in a professional services/corporate environment with a good understanding of the business world would be preferred but is not essential. Knowledge and experience in bid management/documentation production and best practice would be beneficial, as would an understanding of marketing principles. You will also need to possess strong MS Office skills - especially PowerPoint and Word.

You will need to be a dynamic, creative and determined individual who can use their own initiative as well as working as part of a team. This role can be busy and therefore a professional "can do" attitude and the ability to work under pressure is critical.
