The MissionSafeguard Armor is scaling our international government tender divison via AI-powered tender engine. We target are scaling to 1000 government tender submissions per month globally. We need a pro-active, commerically aware Tendering Manager to manage our end to end submissions.You will own the end-to-end workflow: from the moment our AI identifies a tender, through supplier coordination and lab testing, to the final portal submission. You will not just /"report/" on numbers; you will force the machine to move.Key Responsibilities1. Tender Factory Management (The Production Line)Workflow Orchestration: Own the daily schedule for 50+ live tenders. You will allocate resources, chase bottlenecks (labs, suppliers, internal data), and ensure every single bid is submitted before the deadline.Crisis Intervention: When our AI hits a wall (e.g., a portal login fails, a document is missing), you are the one who manually intervenes, finds the workaround, and keeps the line moving.Compliance Gatekeeping: Act as the final fail-safe. You will verify that every submission meets the specific, non-negotiable formatting and compliance rules of global government portals to prevent disqualification on technicalities.2. Supply Chain & Lab Coordination (The External Links)Vendor Mobilization: You will directly manage the communication loop with global fabric suppliers and accredited testing laboratories. Your job is to aggressively chase urgent test dates and pricing to meet tight tender windows (often Data Integration: Ensure all external inputs (quotes, test reports, certificates) are immediately ingested into our internal AI/ERP system. You are responsible for the speed and accuracy of this data flow.3. Systems & Data Integrity (The Brain)AI Stewardship: You are the primary user and auditor of our proprietary AI and ERP systems. You will validate the AI's output, correct product mappings, and ensure the database reflects the true status of every opportunity.Forecasting Accuracy: Convert our live tender pipeline into a factual revenue forecast. You will provide leadership with a /"Green/Amber/Red/" status on every active bid based on hard data, not optimism.Process Enforcement: Identify where the human team is deviating from the SOPs. You will enforce strict data entry and workflow standards to ensure the AI has clean data to work with.4. Commercial Execution SupportPricing Validation: Execute the pricing logic defined by leadership. You will verify that all bid calculations match our margin guardrails before submission.Partner Accountability: Monitor the performance of our distribution partners within the system. You will identify inactive partners and drive the internal actions required to re-engage them or replace them.Ideal Candidate ProfileThe /"Chaser/" Mindset: You are not passive. If a laboratory doesn't reply in 4 hours, you call them. If a portal is down, you find the workaround. You view /"silence/" as a failure of process.High-Volume Operator: You have experience managing multiple simultaneous deadlines (20+ concurrent projects). You thrive in a environment where speed and accuracy are equally critical.System-First Thinker: You love ERP/CRM systems. You understand that a business cannot scale without clean data. You are comfortable being the /"bad guy/" who forces the team to update the system correctly.Sector Experience: Background in Bid Management, Tendering, Procurement, or Supply Chain Operations within Defense, Manufacturing, or Industrial sectors is highly preferred.Tech-Forward: Experience working with AI tools, automation, or complex ERP systems is a massive advantage.Why Join?You will be the engine room of a rapidly scaling defense technology company. You will not be maintaining a legacy system; you will be operating a cutting-edge, AI-driven tender machine that wins millions in global government contracts.
