  • Operate within structured bid governance (Go/No-Go, review cycles, quality gates)

  • Act as primary point of contact with clients during bidding phases

  • Track bid performance and feed insights into central strategy

Candidate Requirements

  • Proven Experience: 5-7+ years in Bid / Proposal Management or related roles. Experience working with European government or institutional clients.

  • Complex Project Management: Strong understanding of procurement processes and compliance requirements in Europe.

  • Adaptability & Mobility: Thrives under pressure in a fast-paced, dynamic environment; embraces a “no-task-is-too-small” mentality.

  • Communication & Influence: Excellent written and verbal communication, capable of leading diverse principals – from junior members to senior executives.
