Your New Role

You will have a hard reporting line into Finance but day to day will be part of a high performing BD and Bids team. You will work closely with the scheduling teams and participate in pricing reviews with management and customer representatives, therefore your stakeholder management skills are essential. 

Your responsibilities will include (not limited to):

• Compile cost, schedule, and technical elements in the development of proposals in accordance with request for proposal (RFP) or contract specifications. 
• Work closely with the technical team to develop estimates for proposals and translate those estimates into cost and pricing responses.

About you and What You’ll Bring

You will bring a wealth of experience in pricing for complex proposals, bids and tenders with private sector, government or defence partners. You excel in collaborating with a varied range of business stakeholders and are able to distill complex financial information into meaningful business messages. Communication and relationship building skills are essential along with an ability to work to deadlines. A background in Finance or Accounting would be advantageous but not essential.
