Public tenders are how Lime wins and keeps cities: every contract decides where we operate and how we grow. That makes proposals the most important business project at Lime, and the Manager, Proposal Management is one of the people who runs it. You own the strategy, the plan and the virtual team behind our most important submissions, and you are accountable for putting a winning bid in front of the evaluators, on time.

At this level you lead through expertise: you solve complex problems, set the methods for new kinds of work, and influence decisions well beyond the Proposals team.

You will lead bids across Europe and bring together Government Affairs, Operations, Product, Policy, Data, design and our policy & content team across countries and time zones, and make them work as one team. Above all, we want someone who wants to win and is energised by the challenge of each individual project. You won’t be starting from scratch. You’ll join a global team of 30 specialists in strategy, proposals, content, policy and design, with proven playbooks, sharp tooling and a dedicated content team behind you.

Lime is the biggest shared micromobility company in the world, but we still prioritise the spirit, drive, resourcefulness and competitiveness that got us here. We want builders, thinkers and creatives who pull together and figure out how to do it better each and every time.

• Real impact. A strong bid can open or protect a whole market. Your work is our top company priority.

• Ownership. You will shape strategy for our most important bids and own the processes and tooling the whole team relies on. You will also have opportunities to manage consultants, mentor and coach colleagues, lead virtual project teams and run improvement and strategic projects.

• Good company. The deadlines are demanding, but the team is one you will enjoy working under pressure with. You’ll collaborate with capable, creative and driven professionals in government affairs, local operations, product, policy, data, design and fellow proposal team members, across countries and time zones.

• Variety. Bids, pursuit planning, strategy and campaign work, and projects to build our knowledge and tools. No two days are the same.
