With 150+ AI projects delivered and a curated portfolio of 70+ pioneering AI startups, we bring together enterprises, startups, researchers, and investors into one transformative ecosystem. As we scale globally, we are now looking for a Bid Management Rockstar — someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and execution — to be the Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for all bids and proposals across regions. ⸻ Your Role • Be the central owner of the bid process — from opportunity qualification to final submission. • Analyze RFPs/RFIs and qualify opportunities using objective frameworks aligned to our solution strengths. • Create the first draft of the response by stitching together reusable content, use cases, pricing templates, and IP decks. • Coordinate with sales, delivery, product, marketing, legal, and finance to build a winning techno-commercial proposal. • Own timelines and version control, and ensure the bid process runs like clockwork. • Lead bid defense and client clarifications, both pre- and post-submission. • Build and continuously evolve our global bid library – case studies, frameworks, price sheets, win themes, decks, etc. • Track win-loss data and institutionalize learnings across the org. ⸻ Must-Have Qualifications • 4–6 years of experience in bid/proposal management, preferably in IT services, consulting, or AI/Tech sectors. • Proven ability to own and run global bid processes independently — from qualification to submission and defense. • Excellent written English, structuring, and storytelling skills. • Comfortable working with cross-functional and senior stakeholders under tight deadlines. • Solid understanding of solution selling, techno-commercial frameworks, and value-based pricing. • High ownership mindset with zero fear of accountability. ⸻ Good-to-Have Qualifications • Experience managing bids in AI, SaaS, or Deep Tech consulting space. • Familiarity with global RFP structures – especially from UK, UAE, Europe, India, and North America. • Prior exposure to GovTech or enterprise procurement platforms. • Familiarity with collaboration tools (Notion, Slack, Trello, Canva, Figma, etc.) and proposal software. • Past experience with win/loss analysis and sales enablement asset creation. ⸻ Who Should Not Apply • Those looking for rigid SOPs — this is a dynamic, fast-moving environment. • Candidates who don't enjoy writing, collaborating, and presenting in high-pressure situations. • People who only want to execute and not own. This role is for leaders, not doers. ⸻ What You Get • Global visibility and responsibility — manage bids from UK, Europe, UAE, India, and US. • Work with some of the most innovative AI startups and enterprise leaders in the world. • Fast-track to Strategic Pre-Sales / GTM Leadership roles. • Be part of Network Science – the operating system for enterprise AI adoption. • Learn the art of Metric-Backward Selling and AI-Focused GTM Strategy. ⸻ Ready to build billion-dollar deals with us?
