In this pivotal role, you will be the bridge between our Sales and Operations departments, ensuring that every new contract we win is both competitive and profitable.

Tender Analysis: Carefully review Invitation to Tender (ITT) documents to identify financial risks, mandatory requirements, and commercial opportunities.

Advanced Excel: You'll be building complex, multi-tab models that need to be both accurate and easy for others to navigate. High Attention to Detail: Missing a single clause in a tender or a formula error in a budget can be the difference between a winning bid and a loss-making contract. Strong People Skills: You need the diplomacy to tell a Sales Manager "No" when a deal doesn't make sense, while maintaining a collaborative partnership. Commercial Acumen: The ability to see beyond the spreadsheet and understand the operational reality of running a school kitchen. If you're a collaborative, solution-focused Finance professional who thrives in a busy and purposeful environment, we'd love to hear from you.

About Action Tutoring At Action Tutoring, we believe every child should be given the opportunity to succeed in school. But in the UK today, young people from disadvantaged backgrounds are less likely to achieve the grades they need to progress in life.

We know tutoring is an effective way of improving academic attainment and so we harness the power of volunteer tutors to bridge the gap and ensure this help can be accessed by every pupil who needs it, not just those who can afford it. We specifically help pupils facing socio-economic disadvantage and who are at risk of leaving primary or secondary school without reaching national standards in their exams. We work in partnership with schools in different cities and regions across the UK, delivering weekly tutoring in English or maths to those pupils who need it most.
