Bid & Contracts Manager

Bid & Contracts Manager The Role Lyrebird is scaling fast - more NHS Trusts, more enterprise health tech partners, and more complexity in every tender, contract, and framework we touch. This role sits at the centre of that growth: you'll be the person who turns opportunities into signed, well-structured commercial agreements, and who keeps our contractual house in order as we grow. You'll co-own bid drafting with our commercial team, manage our framework compliance (SBS, DPS, and similar), handle EPR partnership and revenue share agreements, keep our T&Cs current against a fast-moving regulatory backdrop, and build the systems that make our contracts audit-ready at any moment. This role suits someone who's equal parts meticulous and commercially minded, someone who can sit alongside a founder or commercial lead drafting a bid one day, then untangle a revenue share clause or update an NDA the next. You'll enjoy the mix of structure and ambiguity that comes with building process from scratch inside a fast-growing health tech company, and you'll take real pride in knowing that when due diligence comes knocking, everything's exactly where it should be. About Us Lyrebird Health is transforming the quality and accessibility of healthcare by automating clinicians' most time-consuming tasks. Thousands of clinicians across multiple disciplines use Lyrebird every day in environments where accuracy, safety, and time matter deeply.

The work you do here doesn't just keep Lyrebird compliant, it keeps us moving fast enough to reach the clinicians who need us. We're building a team that reflects the diversity of the people who benefit from our work. We want Lyrebird to be a place where everyone feels safe, supported, and able to thrive. If you're from an underrepresented background in tech, we strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don't meet every requirement.
