- Working on the largest, most strategic bids to provide support such as content drafting, key messaging, value adds and pricing;
- Work with client teams to ensure that bid promises are implemented;
- Work with the business development and client teams to anticipate and prepare for new and renewal opportunities;
- Promote a “bid pipeline” culture rather than a reactive response to bids;
- Ensure that all opportunities are tracked on the CRM system;
- Develop relationships with procurement professionals to understand client drivers;
- Maintain and develop systems to ensure advance notice of up and coming pursuits in the market;
- Work with the Head of Pursuits to manage and develop the pursuit team.
You will have significant experience in bid/pursuit management within professional services. Ideally, you will have some knowledge of the insurance sector. Excellent project management as well as written skills are a must.
