Bid Manager

We win. Often. But with you, we win everything! 
 
That’s why we’re looking for you: a smart, sharp Bid Manager who sees tenders and RFPs as both a strategic game and a creative writing process. You will work in small teams on large assignments for ministries, universities, hospitals and local authorities. No two days are the same: one day you might be organising a creative writing session, the next you might be ploughing through complex documents to piece together the winning puzzle.
 
You open a Programme of Requirements as if it were a treasure map: what is the customer really looking for? Where are our opportunities? You quickly assess the playing field and translate that analysis into a plan that hits the mark. You gather information from across the organisation, from legal to marketing, and write texts that are legally sound and convincing. Meanwhile, you keep the schedule tight, ensure that everyone is on board and that the entire process runs smoothly from start to finish.
 
What are you going to do?

• You take the lead from the very first customer signal. You analyse the tender, map out the playing field and form a team that together puts together a proposition that is both strategic and convincing.
• You and your team dive into the documents, filter opportunities as if you were solving an escape room puzzle, and immediately translate those insights into a smart plan of action. Meanwhile, you have a keen sense of what the customer really wants – and you translate that into a proposal that convinces, touches and makes sense.
• During writing sessions, you are the driving force: you keep up the pace, ask sharp questions and ensure that input is transformed into rock-solid text. You provide direction, gather stories and work together to create a proposal that reads like a success story.
• If you see room for improvement – in a process, document or approach – you don’t wait. You improve, adapt, try things out. Making things better is in your system.

• Je hebt hbo-werk- en denkniveau. Je schakelt moeiteloos tussen strategie, inhoud en uitvoering – van eerste analyse tot overtuigend verhaal op papier.
• You read complex texts as if they were novels: quickly, sharply, and with an eye for opportunities.
• You enjoy working with others and appreciate a good conversation. You ask insightful questions, contribute ideas, and think ahead.
• Deadlines? You keep a cool head, stay calm under pressure, and ensure that everything—no matter how hectic—is delivered on time and with high quality.
