Pursue new opportunities through active participation in the market (e.g. industry shows, events, outreach)
Contribute to development of customer-specific value propositions and materials

Pipeline & Reporting

Maintain accurate records of opportunity progress, pipeline status, and forecasts within CRM system
Provide structured updates on bid performance, risks, and key milestones

Market & Continuous Improvement

Support market and competitor analysis to strengthen proposal quality
Contribute to improving bid processes, tools, and commercial frameworks
Assist in improving existing standardised templates, pricing models, and collateral

About you

Adequate experience in commercial, bid management, or business development role within tier 1 motorsport, advanced engineering, defence, or high-technology sectors
Demonstrated experience in managing complex bids or opportunity lifecycles
Proven track record of developing commercial proposals and closing contracts
Experience in pricing, cost modelling, or commercial structuring
