We are as committed to providing an environment where everyone can realise their unique potential. So, in joining Hoare Lea, you will experience a business that enriches your knowledge, supports your wellbeing, and welcomes your individuality. You’ll have the opportunity to participate in our 9-day fortnight scheme, thriving community groups, varied social and networking events, and extensive professional and technical development schemes. We also offer an extensive benefits package, including private medical cover, an electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme, stock options, and 25 days of annual leave (increasing with service), alongside flexible and hybrid working.
Whatever your ambitions or circumstances, our aim is to enable everyone to develop their knowledge, give their best, and enjoy what they do.
About the role
We are looking for a Principal Bid Coordinator to join our Birmingham office in a hybrid role supporting both Central Region work-winning activity and priority Public Sector bids.
This is a Principal coordination role positioned at the top end of bid and proposal delivery, sitting close to bid writing and bid management responsibilities. It offers the opportunity to take on greater ownership, work on more complex submissions, and develop into a Bid Manager role over time.
You’ll play a key role in ensuring that opportunities are well-managed, bids are professionally delivered, and our teams are supported to perform at their best. Alongside this, you’ll gain exposure to high-value, multi-disciplinary Public Sector bids, providing a strong platform for progression.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being hands-on, is ready to step up in responsibility, and wants to build a long-term career in work-winning and bid management.
What You’ll Do
Regional Bid Coordination (Primary Focus)
Opportunity & CRM Management
Public Sector Bid Support
Frameworks & Coordination
Communication & Collaboration
Business Development Support
Digital & Continuous Improvement
About you

Career development
This role forms part of Hoare Lea’s commitment to building a professional, structured work-winning capability across the business.
You will be supported to develop beyond coordination, gaining exposure to bid writing, bid management, and strategic work-winning activity, with a clear pathway into more senior roles over time.
Location & working pattern
This role is based in Birmingham, and candidates should be within easy commuting distance of our Birmingham office.
We operate a hybrid working model, with a minimum expectation of three days per week in the office to support collaboration and team working.
