Business Development / Bid Manager

This is an exciting new opportunity to join GamCare as our Business Development / Bid Manager.

You will lead the set-up of end-to-end bid management systems, write compelling submissions, and engage internal and external stakeholders to secure winning bids for new and existing opportunities through statutory commissioning.

GamCare's core services (Helpline, treatment and prevention) are now funded through statutory commissioners. We need to retain these services when they are re-commissioned, while also identifying and developing new opportunities to increase our reach and income. You will strengthen our systems, processes and workflows, building on the foundations already in place. This is a transformation role, with significant scope to develop this critical function and bring your experience from a similar senior position.

Key Responsibilities:

• Research, identify, and qualify relevant new tender opportunities via portals (e.g., Find a Tender, NHS Opportunities, Central Digital Platform).
• Lead go/no-go discussions for opportunities, assessing feasibility, risk, and strategic alignment
• Produce high-quality, persuasive, and compliant tender responses, method statements, and business cases
• Develop and embed unique selling points (USPs) as 'golden threads' throughout all proposals
• Collaborate with clinical, data, and other relevant staff to gather technical information to support bid development
• Work with the Finance team and service leads, as necessary, to create competitive, value-for-money pricing strategies

About You

You will be systems-focused, highly organised and resourceful, with strong collaboration skills and excellent attention to detail. Comfortable working autonomously in a dynamic environment, you will have a proven track record of producing high-quality bids and securing high-value funding. You will bring strong coordination skills, alongside a commercial and growth mindset.

We particularly welcome applications from candidates with lived experience of gambling harms, as well as those with backgrounds in the third sector and in areas such as social impact, health and wellbeing, addictions and mental health.
