I’m working with an established Cambridge-based technology organisation operating within the clinical research and digital health sector. The company partners with global clients to deliver innovative solutions that support the development of new treatments and improve patient outcomes.
They’re now seeking a Contracts & Proposals Specialist to join their Commercial Operations function, a key role responsible for managing proposals, budgets, and contract documentation that support new business opportunities and client relationships.

- Prepare and coordinate high-quality client proposals and project budgets.
- Collaborate with internal teams to shape submissions that meet both technical and commercial goals.
- Draft and review contract documents including Statements of Work (SOW) and related agreements.
- Support RFI responses and ensure timely, accurate submissions.
- Maintain and track all proposals and contracts through CRM and reporting systems.
- Recommend process improvements to enhance proposal speed and consistency.
What we’re looking for:
- Experience in proposals, contracts, or commercial operations within a scientific, technology, or healthcare‑related setting.
- Knowledge of digital clinical technologies, life sciences, or healthcare software solutions.
- Strong understanding of budgeting, pricing, and commercial documentation.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Confident user of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and CRM platforms.
- Organised, adaptable, and able to manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced setting.
- Based within reach of Cambridge, with flexible hybrid working (2 days in office).
