**Job Summary**
Are you a strong collaborator passionate about managing a process and writing to win? CBRE is the world’s largest and most successful commercial real estate company. We are recruiting new talent and capabilities to grow business with corporate clients in key markets globally. A vital element of this strategy is ensuring we have strong and fully compliant proposals and presentations that meet client mandates, clearly articulate our value proposition, and connect with business leaders.
As a Bid Manager, you will sit at the core of the sales process, managing the proposal process end-to-end, using partners to align stock language, writing your own, and engaging experts to draft new. You will align all within a single, seamless solution document capable of submission within a client-defined timeline.
As a persuasive writer and editor, you’ll elevate CBRE. You’ll make our submissions clear and distinctive and bring forth the optimal structure, style, messaging, and content. You’ll develop storylines that make everyone better. You’ll work closely with the sales team and global subject matter experts to draft initial content, conduct final editing and proofing, and deliver all materials to ensure the team shines and your career will elevate with the team’s success.
As the owner of our proposals – and therefore often the most important voice to our client – you will work closely with the sales team to develop effective proposal documents and presentations that encapsulate our capabilities, solution, and value proposition in a clear and differentiating manner.

+ Help write, develop, and maintain proposals and best practices while building your own expertise in the science and art of crafting winning proposals
+ Provide strategic input for complex proposals, including developing Executive Summary and other materials for client review
+ Offer insights that help us win competitive proposals, including proposal methodologies, tools, and guidance; train others to continuously improve their proposal skills, understanding, and expertise

+ Advance pursuit content provided by subject matter experts, sector leads, and others to write custom content for proposals
+ Work with internal teams and graphic designers to develop marketing concepts and design materials to support specific client outcomes
+ Support research to aid in business planning and strategy development (e.g., studying prospect’s website and annual report to understand culture and enterprise goals)
+ Assist with maintaining SharePoint database/content library, including standard pursuit materials and case studies
+ Develop strong working relationships with subject matter experts throughout the organization (both functional leaders and account management)
**Supervisory Responsibilities:**
