// Role Specification
About the Role:
The Bid Coordinator will primarily assist with Naimuri’s wider Business Development (BD) activities by facilitating and ensuring adherence to each stage of the company’s formally documented end-to-end bid processes for each of its three sectors. This includes pre-qualification, qualification, proposal development, and approval/sign-off.
The Bid Coordinator will also contribute to the creation and maintenance of Naimuri’s case study and CV libraries, liaising with stakeholders from across the business to ensure both resource libraries are kept up to date and available for immediate deployment.
Working closely with our Head of Bidding, Sector Leads and Sector BD Leads, the Bid Coordinator’s core responsibilities will include:
- Assisting with monitoring several framework portals to effectively identify new bid opportunities that are aligned to Naimuri’s key capabilities and values.
- Scheduling qualification, storyboarding sessions, and review calls as required. With several ongoing bids running concurrently alongside other preparatory business development and marketing activities, this is a key task.
- Maintaining bid folder hierarchies to enable effective internal knowledge management.
- Collaborating proactively and effectively with several bid teams concurrently (often remotely, using SLACK), and co-ordinating proposal input sourced from a variety of stakeholders (i.e. technical, marketing, delivery, commercial, and legal).
- Championing version control best practices, and ensuring proposal documents adhere to Naimuri’s branding guidelines, standard formatting quality, and security standards.
- Coordinating additions and amendments to our case study (e.g. Project Log) and CV libraries, generating artefacts where needed, and liaising with Tech, Delivery, and Capability Leads from across the business as necessary to ensure these resources are kept up to date.
As a small company, the successful candidate must be prepared to pitch in with other related tasks and deliver high-quality outputs to tight deadlines when required.
This role is embedded within the Business Development function, offering a solid grounding in Bid Management and excellent opportunities to work closely with our marketing, technical, and customer-facing SMEs.
