Job summary

The Tactical Bid function within the Public Sector Enablement team focuses on speculative bids for Public Sector customers, designed to win incremental business for the CDW Public Sector Sales segment, that we would otherwise not compete for.

These speculative Public Sector bids are tactical in nature and will typically fall into:

  • Win business with new customers.
  • High revenue/low margin opportunities.
  • Market disruption (e.g. alternative vendors).
  • Bids that are deemed as ‘Enabled’ bids by the main Bid Management Team
  • Bids where Social Value only content needs to be written

As a Tactical Bid Manager, you will be responsible for managing Public Sector opportunities that meet certain criteria (e.g. Total contract value, complexity).

You will own completion of the response. This will involve producing a plan and engaging with representatives from internal departments and external vendors to collate information if and where necessary.

You will also need to work closely with account managers to produce cost models and commercials.

In addition, when you are not managing your own workload, you will be expected to provide support on other opportunities.

What success will look like:

  • Increased net sales revenue and GP through bids won
  • A return on investment through GP (full value and contribution weighted) of bids won
  • A win rate % at or above target set

What you will do

Opportunity take-on

  • Assisting the Public Sector Strategy & Growth Manager to identify relevant opportunities
  • Coordinating the customer’s clarifications process.

Bid planning and management

  • Work with other members of the Public Sector team, as required, to complete bids
  • Reviewing draft bid content
  • Ensuring timely bid submission in compliant formats.

Bid process development

  • Tracking of bid values and outcomes.
  • Contribute material to boilerplate libraries (where relevant).

What we expect of you

Qualifications

  • Experience in the same or a similar role
  • Previous experience in Public Sector sales is desirable
  • Skilled at building strong relationships with sales teams and internal resources to respond effectively to business opportunities.
  • Advanced skills in Office 365 applications
  • Good understanding of technology and IT services concepts

Essential Attributes

  • Accountable for all aspects of their work.
  • Action oriented.
  • Strong commercial awareness.
  • Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • Excellent time management skills and ability to use these to determine time required to complete bids and develop work plans for others.
  • Meticulous attention to detail.
  • Confident at interacting with and guiding subject matter experts
  • Self-motivated and driven by challenges.
