Bids Executive - Polish Speaking

This role is about helping our expert Partners to win by delivering unforgettable and persuasive pitches and proposals with a focus on supporting opportunities arising through our Poland office in both English and Polish language, but with time and capacity to support other opportunities that arise centrally and in other locations.

Ideally you will be an experienced BD professional, maybe an Executive covering an industry or practice in another firm or working as part of a central services team delivering on a variety of BD outputs, including bids and proposals.

What You'll Do:

• Work as part of the wider Bids and BD team to support on strategic full panel tenders or high-value transactional bids; assisting Bid Managers and/or BD Managers by assuming responsibility for the setup of the first draft response documents putting in the best standard bid content (both central content and location specific) and populating the best credentials in the response.
• Collate, share and disseminate best practice through the Bids library and Intranet, including lessons learned.
• Maintain the various Bids pages on the intranet – ensuring content is kept up-to-date and is categorised correctly to ensure it is searchable.
• Build knowledge about the firm and its client base (i.e. services they buy, service gaps, profile of client base, retention rates, satisfaction with our services etc.).
• Compile knowledge around the firms bid statistics, research and analyse clients and targets to aid bid/no bid decisions and monitor competitor activities.

• Fluency in English and Polish is essential – both written and verbal.
• Highly computer literate with excellent systems skills, ideally including experience of Office software
• Excellent attention to detail
• Experience of bids process including tenders and questionnaires
• Good writing and editorial skills for bids content
