  • Prepare and manage bid timelines, register submissions in Lucid's proposal register and Deltek CRM.
  • Coordinate regular checkpoints with bid contributors to keep submissions on track and escalate if needed.
  • Lead document formatting and review processes to ensure brand consistency, clarity, and professionalism.
  • Work with technical leads to update CVs, gather relevant case studies and align content with strategy.
  • Support shortlisted submissions with oral pitch preparation, including PowerPoint development and rehearsals.
  • Involve National Clients & Markets Lead and Bid Manager in major submissions or cross-state opportunities.
  • Conduct post-submission debriefs (win/loss), share lessons learned, and contribute to continuous improvement of national bid processes.

Skills & Capabilities

  • Strong MS Word, PowerPoint and Adobe InDesign skills.
  • Excellent written communication, editing, and proofing (non-technical content).
  • Project management and time-bound coordination experience.
  • Experience managing stakeholder input and navigating competing priorities.
  • Comfortable working with Defence bid structures and requirements.
  • Familiarity with government portals and online submission systems.

Key Attributes

  • Collaborative, calm and organised.
  • Learner mindset – embraces feedback and looks for better ways of working.
  • Strong attention to detail and pride in high-quality outputs.
  • Flexible, dependable, and solutions-focused.
