The Technical Bid Manager will lead Quantum Motion's end-to-end bid activity for non-dilutive funding, collaborative R&D
programmes, strategic innovation opportunities and selected public/private funding submissions across our global footprint, with
particular ownership of the technical content, evidence and narrative within submissions. This is a hands-on role for an
experienced bid professional who can manage opportunities from horizon scanning, qualification and capture through proposal
development, governance, submission, funder clarification, award/contracting support and handover to delivery.
This is a rare and exciting opportunity to be an early employee at a scale-up shaping the future of quantum computing. There are
vast opportunities for professional growth and to make an impact within the company.
Working closely with technical, product, finance, commercial/legal and leadership teams, you will turn complex quantum computing
and semiconductor R&D into clear, compelling, funder-ready proposals. You will be comfortable shaping and reviewing technical
inputs for coherence, completeness and evaluator alignment, while relying on subject-matter experts for technical sign-off. You
will be highly organised, commercially aware and confident managing senior stakeholders, external collaborators and concurrent
deadlines across the UK, Europe and Spain, with knowledge of US and Australian funding landscapes a strong advantage. Quantum
technology knowledge would be valuable, but proven experience in bids, grants and proposal delivery is essential.
Since 2021 our team has been listed every year in the “Top 100 Startups worth watching” in the EE Times in 2021 and 2022, and our
technology breakthroughs have been featured in The Telegraph, BBC and the New Statesman. Our founders are internationally renowned
researchers from UCL and Oxford University who have pioneered the development of qubits and quantum computing architectures. Our
chairman is the co-founder of Cadence and Synopsys, the two leading companies in the area of Electronic Design Automation. We’re
backed by a team of top-tier investors, and we have recently closed our Series C funding of $160 million.
We bring together the brightest quantum engineers, integrated circuit (IC) engineers, quantum computing theoreticians and software
engineers to create a unique, world-leading team, working together closely to maximise our combined expertise. Our collaborative
and interdisciplinary culture is an ideal fit for anyone who thrives in a cutting-edge research and development environment
focused on tackling big challenges and contributing to the development of scalable quantum computers based on silicon technology.
Our team of 100+ is based across London, Oxford, San Sebastián and Sydney, with our primary hub in Islington (London).
