About this Bid Manager role at Bridgestone Americas

Bridgestone Americas · Onsite · Spain, Barcelona

Do you thrive on turning complex tenders into winning proposals? Do you enjoy being the person who brings structure, pace and quality to high-stakes bids?

We are looking for a Bid Manager, based in Barcelona, to take ownership of our global enterprise tender responses end to end – from qualification through to handover. Today our Sales team spends too much time on tenders; you will give them that time back.

This is a customer-facing role, not a back-office coordination job. You will engage directly with enterprise customers and procurement teams, and act as the central point of control across sales, technical, legal and finance.

Your day-to-day:

  • Own the bid lifecycle from qualification to submission, and lead bid/no-bid decisions.

  • Build the bid plan: timelines, responsibilities, dependencies and governance.

  • Coordinate cross-functional input from sales, solutions, legal and finance.

  • Create and maintain proposal materials, templates and a reusable content library.

  • Work with Sales to define win themes and translate technical input into a clear customer story.

  • Engage directly with customers and procurement throughout the tender process.

  • Use AI tools to speed up drafting, summarising and gap analysis – supporting, not replacing, expert input.

  • Manage risk, compliance, version control and submission quality.

  • Track win rate and turnaround time in Salesforce, and run post-bid reviews to improve.

Who are you?

  • A Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Engineering, Communications, Marketing or a related field — or equivalent professional experience;

  • Proven experience in bid, proposal or tender management.

  • Strong project management skills – you own plans, deadlines and stakeholders.

  • Confident and credible in front of customers.

  • Excellent writer, able to simplify technical content.

  • Comfortable working in Salesforce alongside a Sales team.

  • Structured, decisive and driven by continuous improvement.

  • Fluent in Spanish and English; other European languages a plus.

  • SaaS tender or fleet technology exposure is a bonus.

Why youll love working for us:

  • A fast-moving, innovative and international team, working across countries and cultures.

  • High visibility – your work directly shapes whether we win our largest deals.

  • Decisive actions. We don’t like to wait. Few layers, quick decisions, things get done.

Let’s not forget the good stuff!

  • Working from home up to 3 days a week.

  • 500 euros gross to set up your home office and additional monthly home office allowance

  • Chance to work abroad for 40 working days per year

  • Birthday off and volunteering time off.

  • Additional health and dental insurance.

  • 100% employer funded pension scheme.

  • Lunch, childcare or transportation vouchers.

  • Unlimited access to LinkedIn Learning.

  • Access to Gofluent platform to learn new languages.

  • Free access to CALM (top mental health app).

  • Employee Assistance Program.

  • Discount on Bridgestone tyres.
