Job Title: Bid & Project Manager
Location: Southampton, UK
Opportunity
A high growth marine technology business is scaling its Solutions division to meet increasing demand for bespoke, grant funded and technically complex projects. This hire is driven by a clear commercial need: more bids to win, more projects to deliver, and greater ownership required across the full lifecycle. This is not a back office project role. It is a front line position where commercial judgement, technical credibility and delivery ownership directly influence revenue, customer confidence and future pipeline.
Impact You Will Have
- Own the full lifecycle from bid shaping through to delivery and invoicing across multiple concurrent projects
- Convert ambiguous customer requirements into commercially viable, technically credible solutions
- Lead multi-party projects including R&D programmes, sea trials and autonomous vessel deployments
- Act as the primary client interface, strengthening relationships and unlocking repeat and follow on work
- Drive delivery performance, balancing technical ambition with margin and contractual outcomes
What Success Looks Like
- Consistently wins and delivers projects that meet both technical and commercial expectations
- Operates with high ownership, taking accountability beyond scope or job title
- Builds credibility quickly with engineers, customers and partners
- Thrives in ambiguity, managing multiple fast moving projects without heavy process
- Brings energy, resilience and a bias for completion in demanding, real world environments
What Is on Offer
- Direct exposure to cutting edge marine electrification and autonomy projects
- A visible role with influence over revenue, customers and strategic delivery
- Real ownership in a low bureaucracy, high trust environment
- The chance to shape how projects are won and delivered as the business scales
- Long term progression within a growing, investor backed technology company
This is a role for individuals already operating at a high level who want greater ownership, visibility and impact.
