  • Oversee a proactive tracking system for all tender opportunities, expressions of interest, and submissions.
  • Maintain front-foot engagement with each tender by following up with procurement officers, seeking feedback, and ensuring every opportunity is maximized.
  • Handle appeals and raise queries on awards where YMS isn't successful, advocating for fairness and identifying areas for improvement.
Compliance and Procurement Support:
  • Ensure all bid submissions align with relevant procurement legislation to reduce risk and open opportunities for direct award.

  • Collaborate with legal advisors if needed to ensure all contracts and templates provide a strong position for YMS.
Contract Renewal and Relationship Management:
  • Take ownership of the renewal process for existing contracts, conducting periodic reviews and renegotiating terms as needed.
  • Liaise with clients to understand evolving needs and expectations, aiming to secure favourable renewal terms or make informed decisions about contract continuations.
Marketing, Communications, and Content Creation:
  • Write engaging copy for newsletters, case studies, and other client-facing materials, strengthening YMS's presence and reputation.
  • Develop and maintain a content calendar for proactive communication with key client points of contact, ensuring ongoing visibility of YMS's strengths and successes.
  • Collaborate with the marketing team to enhance the positioning of YMS's services in the market and develop new service offerings.
Strategic Initiatives and Continuous Improvement:
  • Lead marketing strategy reviews and contribute to the development of new services based on market analysis and client feedback.
  • Establish and refine Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for tendering, contract renewal, and other related processes.
