Bid & Account Manager

About SkyGeo

SkyGeo supports organisations with decision-grade geotechnical insights derived from satellite monitoring and expert interpretation. Our clients operate critical infrastructure worldwide — from rail and energy to mining and urban environments. As demand grows, we need stronger, more consistent proposal responses that accurately communicate both our technical depth and practical value, while strengthening client relationships.

The role

As Bid & Account Manager, you will own and improve the quality of SkyGeo’s proposals, tenders and client response documents. This is a focused role for someone who can turn complex inputs from technical, commercial and operational teams into clear, persuasive and well-structured submissions.

The core of the role is proposal writing and coordination, embedded within the broader business development and account management process. You will contribute not only to high-quality submissions, but also engage in client interactions before, during and after opportunities — helping to clarify needs, shape responses, and support ongoing relationships.

You will work across business development, consulting, engineering and leadership, with exposure to client discussions and commercial processes, to help SkyGeo respond to opportunities with greater clarity, consistency and win readiness, while supporting continuity into longer-term client engagement.
