Description
Join Leidos & work on AGO GEO SPACES mission‐critical networks! A role with genuine influence across commercial and delivery outcomes. NV‐1 clearance and DISA required, located in Canberra.
Your New Role And Responsibilities
We are seeking an experienced Business & Proposal Manager to lead the Survey and Quote (S&Q) function within a complex ICT program in the Defence sector. This is a high‐impact, hybrid role combining proposal leadership with project delivery accountability. You will be the focal point for customer Requests for Quote (RFQs), shaping compliant, compelling responses — and then transitioning seamlessly into delivery leadership once authority to operate is granted.
Key Responsibilities
* Own the end‐to‐end Survey & Quote process, acting as the single point of accountability for RFQs from receipt to submission.
* Coordinate cross‐functional inputs (engineering, architecture, commercial, security, delivery) to produce compliant, costed proposals.
* Ensure estimates, schedules, risks, and assumptions are clearly defined and aligned with contractual and governance requirements.
* Lead internal reviews and governance to deliver high‐quality, auditable submissions.
* Transition approved proposals into delivery by establishing plans, resourcing, schedules, and controls.
* Manage delivery execution, risks, and stakeholder engagement to ensure outcomes meet scope, cost, schedule, and quality expectations.
Qualifications
* Demonstrated experience in Proposal Management, Bid Management or Survey & Quote leadership within ICT or Defence environments.
* Proven capability in project managing approved work, ideally within governed Defence or government programs.
* Strong commercial awareness, including estimating, costing, risk and assumption management.
* Experience working within structured governance frameworks and gated approval processes.
* Ability to lead multidisciplinary teams without formal line authority.
* Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to engage senior stakeholders.
* Australian citizen with an active NV‐1 clearance and ability to obtain DISA clearance.
