About Tender Plus

At Tender Plus, we help organisations strategically pursue and win competitive business.

Our clients operate across almost every sector imaginable, from infrastructure, construction and engineering through to professional services, housing, transport, not-for-profit, defence and commercial development. No two weeks are ever the same.

We provide strategic advice, bid leadership, tender management, tender writing, review services and bid coaching. Increasingly, our role goes beyond coordinating submissions. We work alongside executive teams and subject matter experts to shape winning strategies, challenge thinking and help clients position themselves more effectively.

We are known for being kind, hardworking, commercially minded and deeply committed to quality. We care about our clients, we support each other, and we work hard to deliver exceptional outcomes.

The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced bid / tender professional who enjoys leading complex pursuits and partnering closely with clients, but who also doesn't mind being led by other team members, happy to support a winning bid in whatever guise is needed.

This role will suit someone who is naturally curious, highly proactive and energised by variety. You will be comfortable stepping into new industries, learning quickly and helping clients navigate the often messy and evolving reality of tendering. If you don't like change and you need certainty, this is not the job for you.

Our work is collaborative and relationship-driven. We spend time together in the office, work alongside clients in their workplaces when required, and actively engage with stakeholders throughout the bid process. As such, this role is best suited to someone who readily adapts to new people,



enjoys working with them and values the energy that comes from face-to-face collaboration.

This is a role that involves a minimum of 3 days in our Sydney office and as requested by our clients can require up to 5 days per week in a client office. Interstate and New Zealand travel may be required. If you cannot fulfil or do not want to fulfil these requirements, please do not apply.
