- Get input from the operations team and keep contributors to deadlines
- Work with Finance and operations on pricing models, assumptions and clarifications
- Gather subcontractor and supply-chain quotes, evidence and accreditations
- Prepare the team for presentations and interviews
- Build a bid library and help qualify bid or no-bid decisions on new opportunities
