About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead end-to-end proposal management across RFPs, RFIs, and permits throughout the Amer-APAC region, including kickoff, timeline development, stakeholder coordination, drafting, and final submission. Flex fluidly between proposal management and writing responsibilities depending on the needs, scale, and complexity of each opportunity.
Analyze procurement documents to identify key priorities, evaluation criteria, eligibility requirements, and competitive considerations, translating complex requirements into actionable proposal strategies. Partner closely with local operations, policy, finance, and other cross-functional teams across multiple countries and time zones to gather insights, align stakeholders, escalate issues, and develop high-impact offerings.
Write clear, compelling, and strategically tailored content for RFPs, RFIs, permits, and other city-facing submissions, often under tight deadlines, while owning the full review and revision cycle. Shape proposal narratives, messaging, and win themes that align with city priorities and strengthen Lime’s competitive positioning in collaboration with cross-functional stakeholders, graphic design, and content partners.
Build and improve internal proposal infrastructure, including best practices, templates, toolkits, and content libraries, to increase efficiency, consistency, and scalability across the team. Help drive continuous improvement across the proposals function, owning long-term infrastructure projects like best practices, templates, toolkits and content libraries and identifying new ways to make the team faster, sharper, and more scalable.
Support strategic market development efforts through occasional travel to key markets for pre-tender workshops, cross-functional meetings, and/or local planning sessions.
