What we’re looking for:
You may already be leading bids, tenders, business development or commercial growth within social care, health or another highly regulated environment.
Whatever your current job title, you’ll be able to demonstrate a strong track record of turning complex opportunities into results.
We’re particularly interested in people who can bring:
- Significant experience of competitive tendering and complex bid processes.
- A proven record of leading and converting high-value bids, tenders, frameworks or other growth opportunities.
- Strong knowledge of the care sector, including relevant regulatory and contractual frameworks.
- Experience of working with commissioning partners.
- Strong commercial judgement and the ability to balance opportunity with financial viability, quality, risk and deliverability.
- Experience of working towards growth, pipeline, conversion and retention targets.
- The ability to understand tender budgets, financial planning and commercial risk.
- Excellent market awareness and the ability to anticipate changes in commissioner priorities, policy and competition.
- Strong analytical skills, turning data and intelligence into clear commercial recommendations.
- The ability to build compelling value propositions, win themes and social value commitments.
- Excellent written, verbal, influencing and presentation skills.
- Experience of leading, developing and motivating high-performing teams.
- Confidence working with senior stakeholders and bringing different functions together behind a shared goal.
Most importantly, you’ll know that winning business is not simply about winning the tender. It’s about securing opportunities we can deliver brilliantly, sustainably and in a way that improves the lives of the people we support.
Why Community Integrated Care?
This is an opportunity to bring your commercial expertise to an organisation where growth has a much bigger purpose.
You’ll work collaboratively across Operations, Quality, People, Finance, Property, Technology and other specialist functions, combining expertise from across the organisation to develop propositions that are credible, deliverable and distinctive.
You’ll also have the opportunity to influence at senior level, helping shape where we grow, how we compete and where we invest for the future.
As part of our Senior Leadership Team, you’ll be trusted to challenge thinking, bring new ideas and help translate our strategic ambitions into meaningful action.
