Reporting to the Head of Sales, this position is a bid manager for subsea cable systems, including turnkey systems (complete projects with marine services). Candidate will organize and coordinate a cross-functional in-house team (and including extensive use of third party suppliers and contractors) to create complete and professional responses to bids (tenders, RFPs, RFIs, quotes, informal business development requests), comprised of both technical and commercial content. Accuracy and quality are particularly important. Bids have a response deadline, often aggressive, with multiple bid responses typically happening in parallel.
Xtera is growing significantly year on year, and we are one of only a handful of companies in the world with the capability to deliver long-haul subsea systems. This industry has its origins in the 1850’s but the rapid growth in number and size of data centers world-wide and the rise of artificial intelligence makes this industry an exciting place to be for the foreseeable future.
