Cynthia Kung
Cynthia Kung
Principal Consultant - Residential Development

About the Role

An opportunity has arisen with a major privately owned residential developer and regeneration business for a Bid Manager to join its growing Land & Partnerships team.

 

The business is increasingly focused on larger-scale regeneration opportunities, public/private partnerships and strategic land acquisitions across London and the South East. As a result, they are looking for someone to take ownership of complex bids, tenders and partnership submissions across a range of high-profile opportunities.

 

This is not a construction bid management role. Instead, the position sits at the front-end of the development lifecycle, supporting the acquisition, structuring and progression of major development and regeneration opportunities.

 

Working closely with senior land and development professionals, the successful candidate will play a key role coordinating and managing competitive submissions across both public and private sector opportunities.

 

Responsibilities will include:

  • Managing land bids and tender submissions
  • Coordinating multidisciplinary internal and external consultant teams
  • Preparing high-quality written submissions and presentations
  • Managing procurement and partnership submission processes
  • Supporting strategic regeneration and JV opportunities
  • Assisting with commercial analysis and opportunity evaluation
  • Managing submission programmes, governance and deadlines
  • Building relationships with local authorities, agents and development partners

 

The ideal candidate could come from a developer, housing association, regeneration consultancy or strategic land environment and will possess strong organisational and written skills alongside commercial awareness.

 

This is an excellent opportunity to join a highly entrepreneurial and design-led developer with a significant long-term pipeline and increasing focus on major partnerships and regeneration opportunities.

 

Please get in touch with me (Cynthia) on 07441 345 289 to discuss and understand more about the role. If you do not hear back within two weeks, please assume that your application has been unsuccessful, but we will retain your details on file for future roles.

 

When applying to any role through Cobalt, your CV will never be shared with a client without your prior consent. Apply in confidence below or get in touch with me for a confidential discussion about the position via ckung@cobaltrecruitment.com.
