Your new role

Ramboll is seeking a motivated Pursuit Manager to join the global Environment & Health Strategic Pursuits team.

Reporting to the Strategic Pursuits Manager, you will support the delivery of strategic bids and tenders, collaborating with colleagues across Commercial, Operational, Technical, Digital, Sustainability and Key Account teams.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Assist with all phases of the pursuit process, including positioning, qualification, proposal/bid preparation, and interviews, following Ramboll and E&H standards
• Coach technical teams on developing a winning strategy, client engagement and implementation of strategies in the tender response and interview presentations
• Facilitate strategy sessions, supporting technical teams to be collaborative and innovative
• Manage projects the end-to-end pursuit process, including supporting governance and risk processes
• Troubleshoot and support the bid / tender process to maximize win potential
• Escalate concerns or issues to the Strategic Pursuits Manager
• Support the Strategic Pursuits Manager in raising the profile of the Strategic Pursuits team
• Acts as a mentor to other members of the team
