Project management: Managing proposals and internal projects to set deadlines, ensuring internal quality checks are completed and client requirements are met.

Driving improvements: Join a team known as a ‘knowledge hub’ of how our business works and what ‘good’ looks like. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to use your understanding of business processes, sales best practice, client drivers, commercials & compliance to contribute to business improvement projects.

What you'll bring to the role:

Strong organisational and project management skills – you're great at juggling tasks, prioritising effectively, and meeting tight deadlines without compromising on quality or compliance.

Excellent attention to detail – you spot the small things that make a big difference.

A natural communicator and collaborator – you build strong relationships, influence stakeholders, and work well with cross-functional teams.

Self-motivated and proactive – you take initiative, solve problems creatively, and always look for the best outcome.

Eager to learn and grow – you're passionate about your development and always looking to improve.

Creative and innovative mindset – you enjoy thinking outside the box and bringing fresh ideas to the table.

What we offer:

A great team: Our team has a great atmosphere and a desire to win, having won Team of the Year (twice)! We've received numerous personal awards and enjoy regular team socials, alongside our wider Strategic Sales team! We even have the odd book club meet up for keen readers!

Opportunity to expand your current experience: Our team all started out as strong writers with an interest in learning and we’ve supported them in becoming passionate Bid Writers and Managers.

Competitive basic salary, benefits and company performance-related annual bonus.

Flexible working opportunities, great office environments and free on-site parking.

Company socials, rewards and incentives: We reward high performers and those who live our company values! Our social calendar involves our annual ‘Gattstock’ event, nights out, all-inclusive holidays and awards.

Why Cyber Security Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Cyber security used to be viewed primarily as a technical discipline: firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection, penetration testing. In the UK today, it’s far broader. Organisations now face complex legal frameworks, ethical dilemmas, human-behaviour risks, communication challenges & usability hurdles. This shift means cyber security careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. From protecting NHS patient records to defending financial services, securing supply chains & safeguarding national infrastructure, cyber security now touches every sector. Employers increasingly want professionals who understand law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design alongside traditional technical skills. In this article, we’ll explore why UK cyber security careers are expanding in this way, how these five disciplines shape the profession, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to thrive in this new landscape.
