Bid Manager

As a pivotal member of our team, you will develop and implement bid management strategies that enhance win rates, margin, and revenue growth.

You will:

• Own the end-to-end bid process—from qualification and storyboarding to submission and post-bid reviews
• Lead, coach, and develop a team to deliver high-quality, compliant bids on time
• Embed digital tools and analytics (CRM data, bid libraries, dashboards) to improve efficiency and quality
• Collaborate closely with Sales, Category, Technical, and Finance to build compelling, customer-focused proposals
• Track performance metrics, share insight with cross-functional teams and Senior Stakeholders, and continuously refine our bid playbook

Success will look like improved conversion rates, shorter bid cycles, stronger stakeholder feedback, and measurable revenue uplift from strategic bids.

​​​​​​At Rexel, we prioritise hiring individuals based on behaviours and potential, rather than requiring specific formal qualifications for roles, the behaviours that will set you up for success as our new Bid Manager include: 

• COLLABORATION – Building partnerships and working collaboratively with others to achieve shared objectives

• DECISION QUALITY – Making sound and timely decisions to propel the organization forward
• DRIVES RESULTS – Consistently delivering results, even in challenging circumstances
• TECH SAVVY – Embracing and leveraging innovations in digital and technology applications
• BUSINESS INSIGHT – Applying business knowledge to advance organizational goals

Ideally, you have experience leading teams and managing bid strategies with a focus on conversions and revenue growth

You are naturally inquisitive, efficient, and forward-thinking, with a passion for adopting digital tools.

A strong collaborator who excels at building relationships with stakeholders and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to enhance bid strategies.

Committed to continuous improvement, possessing or working towards a bid management qualification (e.g., APMP) would be advantageous but not essential.
