Job summary

Nakisa is seeking a Bid Research & Qualification Analyst to drive the early stage of the bid process. You will spot opportunities, manage registrations, apply go/no-go criteria, and craft concise qualification summaries to guide winning responses over time.

Ideal candidates have 2–4 years in bid coordination or presales, strong English writing, MS 365/SharePoint familiarity, and comfort with AI tools to speed up analysis.

Qualifications

• Approximately 2-4 years' experience in bid or proposal coordination, presales or sales support, market and opportunity research, business analysis, or public-sector procurement support, ideally in B2B enterprise software / SaaS or an IT services environment.
• Enough business maturity and curiosity to ramp quickly on Nakisa's vocabulary, solutions, and focus areas, and to apply that understanding to qualification judgments within the first weeks.
• Excellent business-level written English, with the analytical and critical-reading skills to extract key requirements from dense solicitation documents, judge fit against defined criteria, and write clear, concise summaries and recommendations.
• Comfort working with high volume and tight deadlines, with strong organization and attention to detail.

Responsibilities

• Monitor procurement directories, government and public-sector portals, opportunity feeds, and the shared RFP mailbox to identify new RFPs, RFIs, RFQs, and tenders relevant to Nakisa.
• Maintain portal registrations, logins, and vendor profiles, and organize each opportunity to package the solicitation documents, addenda, Q&A, and deadlines in the shared SharePoint workspace.
• Apply Nakisa's documented go/no-go criteria to each opportunity, using approved AI tools with standardized prompts to review solicitation documents quickly and consistently.
• Produce a short, structured qualification summary for each promising opportunity: what it is, key requirements, fit assessment, risks, deadlines, and a bid / no-bid / needs-review recommendation.
• Rank qualified opportunities and record the rationale for those screened out so decisions stay traceable, and the criteria can be refined.
• Hand off qualified opportunities to the RFP lead with a complete, well-organized package and summary for second-pass review.
• Maintain a shared, up-to-date pipeline of live opportunities and submission deadlines on a daily and weekly cadence, flagging time-sensitive items early.
• Help maintain the reusable screening assets-qualification criteria, keyword lists, AI prompts, exclusion rules, and a library of past opportunities and decisions-and suggest improvements as Nakisa learns.
• Provide occasional RFP drafting support (standard sections, supporting content, and formatting) under the direction of the RFP lead.
