About G4S Care & Rehabilitation Services (CaRS)</strong>
G4S CaRS is committed to the rehabilitation of offenders across our secure training centre, four prisons, and various community contracts in England and Wales. Our core philosophy is to equip service users with the skills needed for successful societal re-integration, fostering a safe environment for both our staff and those in our care.
The Role: Senior Solution Architect
G4S Care & Rehabilitation Services (CaRS) is seeking a highly experienced Senior Solution Architect to join our Business Development Team. You will be instrumental in transforming Justice Sector tenders into Wins. This role is a unique blend of strategic solution design, operational translation, and high-stakes bid writing in a heavily regulated environment.</p>
Key Responsibilities:
You will report to the Senior Proposals Manager and collaborate closely with senior leaders, Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), and regional teams to design and articulate winning solutions.

- Continuous Improvement: Integrate lessons learned and MoJ feedback into future bid responses.
2. Quality Assurance & Compliance</strong>
- Strict Adherence: Ensure absolute compliance with all MoJ specifications, word counts, and formatting rules to prevent disqualification.
- Rigorous Editing: Perform detailed line-editing and proofing for clarity, technical accuracy, grammar, and consistent "one-voice" tonality across the submission.
- Evidence Base: Maintain and build a robust library of evidence, statistics, and case studies related to key performance indicators (e.g., reoffending rates, safety audits).
- Review Coordination: Manage internal proposal reviews, efficiently incorporating feedback while protecting the integrity of the core narrative.
3. Stakeholder Collaboration & Knowledge Management</strong>
- SME Engagement: Confidently interview and collaborate with technical experts, extracting critical information and converting technical jargon into accessible, benefit-led prose.
- Capability Showcasing: Develop high-quality case studies demonstrating G4S's track record.
- Market Intelligence: Contribute to ongoing research into clients, competitors, and market trends.
