- Develop relationships with subject matter experts (SME’s) to ensure resources and information to support RFI, EOI, PQQ and ITT are provided in a timely and appropriate manner. Write responses using the information they provide

- Manage the bid, providing structure and order so that deliverables produced are of the highest possible quality, working independently with limited supervision

- Maintain and develop a library of strong template responses

- Ensure proposals are approved by the business and submitted in a timely manner

- Deliver high quality, compelling proposals

Knowledge, Skills, Qualifications and Experience:

- An analytical approach and be able to extract key information from documents provided
