About the role
As the Senior Bid Manager, you’ll helm the end-to-end bidding process for public tenders and private Requests for Proposals (RFPs), ensuring that our proposals win contracts and scale our growth.

Lead and manage the full bid lifecycle – from strategy and compliance through proposal development, pricing, submission, and follow-up.
Coordinate with cross-functional teams (e.g. Operations, Product, Legal) to produce compelling, compliant, and competitive proposals.
Analyze and interpret tender requirements quickly, set structured workstreams and timelines, and drive on-time delivery under pressure.
Design and manage tailored pricing models that align with tender structures, including KPIs, utilization targets, and cost considerations.
Oversee production and quality assurance of final bid documents, including writing, editing, formatting, and supporting annexes.
Track, review, and improve bid performance by maintaining a repository of submissions, leveraging bid-tracking tools, and conducting post-bid analysis for continuous improvement.
