About The Job

We are looking for a full-time Technical Bid Writer (Medior level) who brings proven exposure to competitive bidding environments and public sector tenders. In this cross-functional role, you will collaborate closely with Solution Architects, Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), and Pre-sales managers to transform complex technical, operational, and architectural concepts into clear, structured, and winning tender proposals. You will bring a strategic mindset to every response, linking technical features directly to client value and tender scoring mechanisms.

Key Responsibilities

• Proposal & Narrative Development: Draft, structure, and refine high-quality technical proposals, case studies, Statement of Works (SoWs), and Call for Tender (CfT) responses that directly address evaluation criteria.
• Cross-Functional Knowledge Gathering: Act as a bridge between Solution Architects, engineering teams, and Pre-sales; extract operational knowledge and translate technical details into benefit-oriented narratives.
• Strategic Value & Win Themes: Co-develop solution narratives that weave in strategic "win themes", highlight Cronos Europa differentiators, and align with specific buyer scoring frameworks.
• Content Structuring & Quality: Ensure all technical documentation meets the highest standards for clarity, logical flow, narrative coherence, tone, and brand alignment.
• Standards & Compliance Alignment: Ensure technical descriptions embed governance, security, and operational standards (e.g., ISO, GDPR, NIS2, DORA, ITIL) in line with institutional expectations.
• Continuous Improvement: Proactively contribute to internal templates, modular content libraries, and reusable knowledge assets to accelerate future bid writing.

Profile Requirements

• Experience: Proven experience as a Technical Writer, Bid Writer, or Pre-sales Writer within competitive tender or IT solutioning environments (EU institutions / public sector exposure strongly preferred).
• Strategic & Analytical Mindset: Ability to see the bigger picture, understand client pain points, and write value-driven, persuasive narratives rather than purely dry technical documentation.
• Fast Learner & Adaptable: Quick to absorb operational realities and technical architectures across diverse IT domains with a strong appetite for continuous learning.
• Technical Literacy: Comfortable understanding IT infrastructures, cloud solutions, service delivery models, and regulatory frameworks (ISO 9001/27001, NIS2, DORA, ITIL).
• Editorial & Language Excellence: Native-level or flawless professional written English, with a talent for simplifying complexity into clear text and structured diagrams.
• Tools: Advanced proficiency in MS Word, PowerPoint, and SharePoint.
