POhWER is a leading national advocacy charity. We’re looking for a Business Development Manager to drive our growth in statutory advocacy contracts – retaining key services and winning new opportunities that amplify the voices of people who need them most.
As our Business Development Manager, you will:
- Lead end-to-end tenders for health and social care advocacy services
- Shape service models with operational, safeguarding, quality and finance colleagues
- Develop commercial models and pricing that are competitive, sustainable and robust
- Build strong relationships with commissioners, procurement teams and partners
- Oversee smooth contract mobilisation so new services launch safely and on time
You’ll bring:
- Proven experience leading public-sector tenders (ideally health or social care)
- A track record of winning bids for commissioned services
- Strong commercial and financial modelling skills
- Excellent written communication and project management skills
- A values-driven, rights-based approach aligned with independence, empowerment and safeguarding
Important: This role focuses on commissioned contracts and tenders – not fundraising or grants.
If you want to use your commercial and bid expertise to shape advocacy services and influence commissioning decisions, we’d love to hear from you.
