Home based, with occasional travel to offices in Nuneaton and Cowley
£50,000 plus car / car allowance, 33 days holiday, pension, bonus, life assurance, employee assistance programme, wellbeing

About the Job
Your role is critical to securing Unipart’s future success in Strategic and Public Sector Bids, across all sectors including
Defence, Aerospace, Rail and more. You will be involved in an array of Unipart's largest strategic/public sector bids. The core
purpose of the role is to translate complex logistics, engineering, and digital solution designs into high-scoring, compliant, and
compelling narrative responses. You will act as the lead pen for technical quality submissions, interviewing Subject Matter
Experts (SMEs) to extract raw intelligence and turning it into a ‘Gold Standard’ submission that meets the rigorous requirements
of strategic clients. You will hold an existing understanding of defence bidding in the public sector environment.
As part of your key responsibilities, you’ll:
* Draft, edit, and proofread high-quality technical responses on strategic public sector bids - ensuring all narratives are
articulate, concise, and persuasive
* Proactively interview and interrogate internal Subject Matter Experts (Operations, IT, HR, Supply Chain) to extract the
technical detail required to answer complex questions
* Analyse tender questions to break down requirements, ensuring every sentence contributes to the scoring methodology and full
compliance with customer standards
* Lead storyboard sessions to structure answers before writing begins, ensuring the ‘Win Strategy’ and ‘Ghosting’ of competitors
are embedded in the draft
* Manage the feedback loop from review stages, specifically addressing criticism to improve the score of the final document
* Convert internal Unipart terminology into client-facing benefits
* Manage the rigorous document control required for high-security bids, ensuring security classification handling
* Incorporate knowledge of the sector landscapes into responses to demonstrate deep customer understanding
About You
We’d love you to have the following skills and experience, but please apply if you think you’d be able to perform well in this
role!
* Excellent writing skills
* Experience of defence bidding in the public sector
* Experience of using AI best practices within bid writing
* Articulate, with strong verbal and presentation skills
* A proficient user of Microsoft Office, in particular PowerPoint and Word
* Strong organisational skills with the ability to plan and manage resources/output timelines
* Used to working under pressure and to challenging deadlines with energy and passion, and will have the flexibility to deal with
change
* Experience in the field of supply chain logistics and external bid training (for instance, Shipley or APMP would be
advantageous)
Our recruitment and selection process has been developed to ensure that it is consistent, fair and provides equality of
opportunity - all selection decisions are based solely on technical and behavioural competencies. We do not discriminate on the
grounds of race, colour, or nationality, ethnic or national origins, sex, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, marital or
civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, disability, religion or belief, age or any other current or future protected
characteristic as defined in the current Equality Act of England and Wales. As an organisation we also promote an environment
which encourages diversity of characteristics and thought, where you feel included, safe and confident to be the best version of
yourself and do your best work every day.
