Approach Consulting is partnering with a national organisation working in infrastructure and services delivery, running large-scale contracts across transport, energy, rail and social infrastructure sectors nationally. Due to growth and demand, they are seeking an additional analyst for their bids team.

The role

This is a high-impact position sitting close to the executive team, where you'll be the financial SME behind major tender submissions. You'll take ownership of the numbers on complex, strategic bids — making sure they stack up commercially, the risk is understood, and the pricing is realistic.

Day to day, you'll:

- Own the accuracy and quality of commercial bid submissions
- Run the commercial side of the bid process end-to-end, keeping it on time and on strategy
- Take functional responsibility for the bid team's financial activities
- Advise internal governance on commercial, accounting and financial matters
- Lead reviews to drive down cost structures and lift commercial performance
- Build and maintain best-practice financial models




- Assess the commercial implications of major proposals for the group
- Get out to client sites to properly understand scope, risk and what's really being asked for — not just what's on paper

What you'll bring

- 5+ years' experience in a similar analytical/commercial role
- Strong Excel skills — Macros and Pivot Tables highly regarded
- Confidence building P&L;, Balance Sheet and Cashflow statements
- A solid grasp of how projects and service contracts actually get delivered — and ideas on how to do it better
- Sharp judgement — you can pressure-test a scope, spot what's missing, and call out a number that doesn't add up

What's on offer Competitive remuneration, versatile working, genuine investment in your development, and a clear path to grow within a large, well-established organisation.
