This role acts as the single point of contact for the bid process, driving cross-functional teams to ensure timely submission and adherence to established governance standards, ultimately maximizing the organization's win rate.

Key Responsibilities

I. Bid Lifecycle Management & Execution

  • Own and manage the complete bid lifecycle, from initial opportunity qualification and receipt to final submission and post-bid review.
  • Conduct comprehensive analysis and initial qualification of all received bid documents (RFPs, RFIs, etc.) to confirm requirements, scope, terms, and internal alignment.
  • Establish and maintain a rigorous Bid Plan and timeline, defining key milestones, deliverables, and resource allocation. Secure sign-off from Pre-Sales leadership.
  • Lead the internal clarification process by aggregating and finalizing complex technical, contractual, and commercial questions for submission to the client / prospect.

  • Coordinate the circulation of all official bid correspondence, updates, Q&As, errata, and corrigendum to the core bid team and relevant stakeholders.

II. Stakeholder Collaboration & Leadership

  • Organize and lead the Bid Kick-off Call , clearly defining roles, responsibilities (using a clear RACI matrix), timelines, and the overall win strategy / theme for all contributing departments (e.g., Sales, Legal, Solutions, Finance, Delivery).
  • Facilitate effective communication by documenting and circulating comprehensive Minutes of Meeting (MoM) for all bid-related meetings.
  • Serve as the central liaison between Pre-Sales, Solution Architects, and the content contributors to ensure a unified and consistent narrative throughout the proposal.
  • Support Pre-Sales Managers in the development and enhancement of reusable sales enablement collaterals and standard proposal content.
  • III. Governance, Quality & Process Adherence

  • Ensure strong adherence to the organization's Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and established Bid Governance frameworks.
  • Manage the repository of standard content, templates, and successful bid artifacts, ensuring they are current, accurate, and readily accessible.
  • Conduct post-bid reviews (win / loss analysis) to capture lessons learned and continuously improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the bid process.
  • Required Skills and Qualifications

  • Proven experience managing the full lifecycle of complex, high-value B2B proposals / RFPs, preferably within the relevant industry (e.g.BFSI products).
  • Exceptional project management skills with the ability to manage competing priorities and tight deadlines in a high-pressure environment.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills with a keen eye for detail and quality assurance.
  • Proficiency with MS Office (Word, Excel, PPT etc)
  • A strong understanding of typical contractual and legal requirements involved in the bid process.
  • Skills Required
