Tendering Manager

As Tendering Manager, you will take ownership of the end-to-end bid and proposal process across a diverse range of infrastructure solutions, including connectivity, subsea cable projects, fibre networks, and data centre developments.

This newly created role will establish and lead the tendering function, working closely with senior commercial, engineering, operations, and project stakeholders to convert complex opportunities into winning bids. The environment is entrepreneurial, fast-paced, and collaborative, offering significant autonomy and exposure to high-value infrastructure projects.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading the preparation and submission of RFI, RFQ and RFP responses.
• Coordinating commercial and technical inputs from engineering, operations, finance, legal and project teams.
• Developing compelling customer-facing proposals and tender documentation.
• Evaluating tender requirements, identifying risks and opportunities, and driving bid strategy.
• Supporting commercial negotiations and post-tender activities.
• Building strong relationships with customers, partners, suppliers and internal stakeholders.
• Contributing to process improvement and the ongoing development of tendering frameworks and tools.

To be successful, you will bring:

• Experience in tendering, bid management, proposals, commercial management or a related discipline.
• Exposure to infrastructure sectors such as telecommunications, data centres, construction, EPC, fibre networks or related industries.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to translate technical information into compelling customer-focused content.
• Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple deadlines and competing priorities.
• A self-starting mindset and the confidence to work autonomously in a dynamic environment.

What's on Offer

• Rare opportunity to join a high-growth digital infrastructure organisation.
• Exposure to major international projects across subsea cables, fibre and data centres.
• Collaborative and highly autonomous working environment.
• Auckland-based role with a hybrid working arrangement.
