Oversight and responsibility for delivery of the entire bid process
Keeping up to date with procurement legislation, and briefing colleagues
Creation of sales proposal related content

Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to see tasks through to completion
A keen and practical organiser; able to keep track of many parts to a bid, looking ahead and managing potential bottlenecks
