As Bid Manager, you will play a pivotal role in managing and optimizing the bid process.

You will be responsible for:

• Leading and project managing bid processes, whether responding to structured RFPs or crafting proactive proposals where no formal tender exists.

• Collaborating cross-functionally with Sales, Product Management, Security, Operations, and Consultants to gather the necessary input for each bid.
• Ensuring scalability and process improvements by refining standardized bid documentation and proposal workflows.
• Utilizing automation tools like Responsive (RFP automation platform) and Office 365 to streamline and enhance bid development.
• Managing critical timelines and key milestones, proactively addressing potential delays and ensuring accountability across stakeholders.

What We Look For

• Experience in bid management (minimum 2 years), ideally within enterprise software, SaaS, or consulting. 
• The business acumen to be able to understand customer needs, tailor proposals effectively, and contribute to overall sales success. 
• A proactive and problem-solving mindset, with the ability to take ownership and drive processes forward.
• Fluency in a Scandinavian language (Swedish, Norwegian, or Danish) and English is a hard requirement.  
• The ability to work across multiple markets and adapt to local differences.

Benefits

• Financial and Health Security: Benefit from a comprehensive pension and insurance package, plus private healthcare.
