You will ensure responses address critical Public Safety concerns: high availability, data security, and long-term scalability. Commercial Frameworks: Work closely with Finance to structure complex pricing models, including multi-year subscriptions and license-to-subscription migrations. Governance & Continuous Improvement: Manage the full bid lifecycle and build a dedicated Public Safety Proposal Library to capture reusable content, case studies, and lessons learned. Education / Qualifications Qualifications & Experience Experience: 3–5+ years in bid management or proposal coordination within the Software/IT sector. Public Safety Domain: Experience in bidding for Emergency Services or Critical Infrastructure is highly desirable. Licensing Expertise: Experience with traditional licensing models; exposure to SaaS/subscription is an advantage. Certification (Preferred): APMP highly desirable. Familiarity with an established bid methodology such as APMP or Shipley is an advantage. Matrix Environment: Proven ability to navigate complex, multi-country environments and coordinate virtual teams across different time zones. Skills & Competencies Strategic Writing: Exceptional English skills with the ability to turn technical specifications into clear, value-driven benefits for public sector stakeholders, as well as fluency in the local language. Financial Literacy: Strong understanding of margins, TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), and the shift from CAPEX to OPEX. Advanced Tools: Expert proficiency in Office 365. Experience with Salesforce and proposal automation tools (e.g., Loopio, Responsive) is a major asset. Pressure Management: Highly organised and detail-oriented, comfortable managing multiple simultaneous bids under strict government deadlines.
