Proposal Hub Content Manager (18 to 24 months) in Birmingham

We're BDO, an accountancy and business advisory firm providing the advice and solutions entrepreneurial organisations need to navigate today's changing world. We work with ambitious, entrepreneurially-spirited and high growth businesses that fuel the economy and directly advise the owners and management teams that lead them.

Our Sales and Marketing team is being reshaped to support BDO's growth ambitions. We're building a high-performing function that is proud of its technical skills, reliable in delivery, and outcome-led in how we prioritise and execute. You'll join a team big enough to offer diverse roles and opportunities, yet personal enough to ensure you're supported and empowered from day one.

Here, we think beyond activity. You'll bring ideas, fresh thinking and help shape how we deliver campaigns, insights and engagement across the business. Working closely with internal clients, you'll deepen your understanding of our sectors and add value in your role.

Leading organisations trust us because of the quality of our advice. That quality grows from a thorough understanding of their business, which comes from working closely with them and building long-lasting relationships. You'll be someone who is comfortable working pro-actively and managing your own tasks, as well as confident collaborating with others and communicating regularly with senior managers, directors, and BDO's partners.

The Sales and Marketing team are looking for a Proposal Hub Content Manager for an 18-24 month fixed term contract.
