We're hiring a Bid Management Director. At Vertiv, we power the critical infrastructure behind AI, cloud, and the digital world. Our EMEA market is booming — demand is accelerating, complexity is rising, and the opportunities are getting bigger.
But winning €10M+ data center projects isn't about writing better proposals. It's about building the machine that wins them — consistently, decisively, and at scale. That's why we're creating something new: a Bid Management Command Center for EMEA.
The role:
- Own the entire bid lifecycle — from Go/No-Go to mobilization handover
- Build and lead a team (Senior Bid Managers, Coordinators & Knowledge specialists)
- Design the storyboard methodology that turns proposals into winning narratives
- Chair SteerCo governance with President & VP-level stakeholders
- Deliver measurable win-rate improvement within 12 months
You:
- 10+ years leading complex bids in data centers / critical infrastructure
- Have moved win rates, not just tracked them
- Hyperscaler, colo, or sovereign project experience
- Mastery of TCO, RIBA frameworks, and stage-gate governance
- Think commercially, challenge intelligently, build relentlessly
Us:
- Vertiv (NYSE: VRT) — powering the AI infrastructure revolution
- EMEA-wide scope | Hybrid flexibility
- Greenfield transformation mandate — your methodology, your team, your results
- Direct line to senior leadership
This isn't a support function. This is the strategic engine that determines which battles we fight and how we win them. If you've ever looked at a bid function and thought 'I could build this properly' — this is your moment.
