• Design and deliver training across the business on bid best practices and process adherence, including coaching and mentoring stakeholders on bid best practices, particularly in written content development.
• Build strong relationships with Sales, Presales, and SMEs to ensure alignment and knowledge sharing.
• Analyse bid outcomes and customer feedback to identify improvements and share best practices.

What You Bring

• Minimum 4 years’ experience in bid management
• Experience in a people leadership role.
• Strong leadership and team development capabilities.
• Excellent communication, project management, and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Familiarity with SaaS bid management platforms (e.g., Loopio) and management of content libraries.
