Salary:

100000.00 - 140000.00 USD / Year

Job Description:

We’re a growing multi-facility organization consolidating all bid activity under a single leader for the first time. Bid responsibilities are currently fragmented across divisions, leading to inconsistent submissions, missed opportunities, and limited accountability. We’re looking for a bids leader who can bring structure, discipline, and ownership to a high-impact function.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead a small bids team while also acting as a hands-on contributor on high-priority public-sector bids
  • Own the full lifecycle — identifying opportunities, qualifying them, preparing submissions, and ensuring accuracy across documentation and compliance
  • The work spans schools, municipalities, parks & recreation, and other public-sector sports infrastructure projects

Requirements:

  • 5–15 years of experience in construction bidding, estimating, or public procurement
  • Strong experience with public-sector bids (schools, municipalities, parks & rec)
  • Ability to lead a small team while still doing hands-on bid preparation
  • High proficiency with bidding platforms (any major system)
  • Strong documentation, compliance, and process discipline
  • Ability to manage multiple bids simultaneously
  • Clear, confident cross-functional communication
  • Comfort transitioning a fragmented process into a centralized, standardized function

Nice to have:

Sports industry experience is not required — construction experience is the priority

What we offer:
  • Opportunity to build a unified bid function with full ownership
  • High visibility across operations, sales, and leadership
  • Ability to directly influence win-rate, documentation quality, and process maturity
