Over de functie
In this Bid Manager Charging Equipment position, your primary responsibility will be to win proposals by ensuring accurate information. Because you effectively interpret the wishes and requirements of customers, you can identify opportunities and risks across Europe's energy markets and create a plan based on these inputs. Your managerial and analytical skills allow you to oversee the bidding process, sharply identify where adjustments are required, and effectively organize and monitor all underlying tasks, resulting in an optimal commercial offer.
Additionally, you lead a team of bid coordinators, fulfilling a direct operational role as well as ann indirect facilitating role. Alfen’s sales run through resellers and distributors, meaning your priority should lie with ensuring clients are well-informed (e.g. about delivery periods, technical specifications, and pricing). To acquire the necessary information requested by external stakeholders, you effectively organize internal communication flows and give the final call on projects in collaboration with the Commercial Director.
As this is an existing position, the focus will not be on creating communications, but on increasing the professionality of the operation and on optimizing the current process flows. Sales managers across Europe will approach you for crucial operational information, so you should be well-capable in acquiring and effectively communicating this knowledge.
As Bid Manager Charging Equipment you are responsible for the following activities:
- Assisting during tender processes with tender questionnaires and various other documents
- Carry responsibility for the production, management, and administration of bid documents as well as materials and marketing information
- Maintain currency of certificates, compliance letters, licenses, and prequalification materials for EOI and tenders
- Maintain comprehensive and accurate records of bid information to Gateway
- Assist by coordinating answers with other departments, such as Product Management, Legal, Sales, Technical, and Service
- Update bid tracker and reporting tools with relevant information, ensuring accessibility to accurate and up-to-date information
