Certified APMP proposal manager driving compliant, win-focused bids across energy, IT, and real estate.
What I'm looking for
I am a certified APMP proposal management professional with over eight years' experience delivering compliant, compelling bids across Oil & Energy, IT, Real Estate and Fintech sectors in Africa. I specialize in end-to-end bid management, stakeholder alignment, and strategic proposal development that improves conversion and revenue.
At previous roles I led medium-to-complex bids, instituted templates and processes that improved efficiency, and achieved measurable outcomes — including a 25% increase in pipeline conversion and a 75% success rate on proposals at one employer. I am proficient with e-procurement platforms (NIPEX, Ariba, Emptoris), SAP, Salesforce/Zoho, Microsoft Office/G-Suite, SharePoint and Adobe tools.
I bring disciplined risk management, commercial acumen and strong cross-functional communication to proposal creation and contract administration, and I focus on building relationships, continuous process improvement, and delivering timely, commercially sound submissions.
