Acting as a strategic partner to the Sales Manager, you ensure all bids are delivered on time, compliant with requirements, and aligned to yoummday’s value proposition.
While the Sales Manager owns the client relationship and overall commercial success, you own the bid process and delivery — ensuring seamless collaboration between all stakeholders to produce winning submissions.
