Your New Role

Join a close-knit and high performing Project Services team as a Proposal Analyst. You'll love being part of a highly engaged and motivated team that support each other and love to celebrate their wins. This is a fast paced environment within a defence context, so there will be plenty of challenge and variety. 

Your role will involve developing, planning and scheduling proposals. You will compile cost, schedule and technical elements in the development of proposals in line with RFP specifications. You will coordinate broadly across the team to collect and accumulate cost, scheduling and performance elements from functional departments, so relationship skills and time management are a key focus. 

You will research and analyse historical data to support proposal efforts and you'll be a key participant in fact-finding meetings. You'll also be involved in pricing reviews with Management and Customer Representatives so this is a great role for those seeking to develop their careers and personal brands within a growth phase business. 

About you and what you'll bring

Demonstrated experience in a Proposal Analyst position or support bids is highly valued. We'd love to speak with those who have experience in defence tenders. Most importantly, you have strong communication skills, excellent writing skills, ability to manage competing priorities and a calm and professional nature. You're a team player and you don't take yourself too seriously. 

Strong word skills and strong cost/schedule acumen is required. You are very comfortable with the commercial and financial elements within a proposal and are confident in highlighting risks. 

Demonstrated experience with Service Level and Performance Management is also required. 

Qualifications

• Ideally a Bachelors degree from an accredited institution in Accounting, Finance or a related discipline, or equivalent experience/combined education, with some relevant working experience and specialised training that is commensurate with the assignment.
