* Ensure bids are commercially coherent and aligned to approved pricing frameworks, product capability, and risk appetite
* Apply commercial judgement to challenge inputs constructively, identifying gaps, risks, or inconsistencies and escalating through defined governance routes where required
* Maintain and improve bid content libraries, standard responses, and supporting materials to improve efficiency and quality
* Analyse bid outcomes, win/loss trends, and cycle times, and drive improvements in bid effectiveness and win-rate in partnership with RevOps and commercial leadership
* Partner closely with the Pricing Manager to ensure pricing inputs are accurate, consistent, and clearly reflected in bid responses
* Work with GTM Systems and Revenue Enablement to improve bid tooling, automation, AI assisted coverage, and process scalability across the commercial function
* Support continuous improvement of bid quality, governance, and execution as the business scales
Skills and Experience:
* 3+ years' experience in a Bid Manager, Commercial Operations, Sales Operations, or similar role
* Proven experience managing complex, bespoke bids or RFPs in a B2B or B2B2B environment
* Strong understanding of commercial structures, pricing considerations, and risk governance
* Comfortable operating cross-functionally with senior stakeholders across commercial, product, and control functions
* Highly organised with strong project management and stakeholder coordination skills
* Confident communicator, able to apply judgement, challenge constructively, and drive alignment
* Experience in fintech, payments, SaaS, or other regulated industries preferred
