Director of Bids
We’re a growing multi-facility organization consolidating all bid activity under a single leader for the first time. Bid responsibilities are currently fragmented across divisions, leading to inconsistent submissions, missed opportunities, and limited accountability. We’re looking for a bids leader who can bring structure, discipline, and ownership to a high-impact function.
Role Overview
You’ll lead a small bids team while also acting as a hands-on contributor on high-priority public-sector bids. You’ll own the full lifecycle — identifying opportunities, qualifying them, preparing submissions, and ensuring accuracy across documentation and compliance. The work spans schools, municipalities, parks & recreation, and other public-sector sports infrastructure projects.
This role is onsite in Avon, MA and requires deep familiarity with construction bidding and public procurement. Experience with any major bidding platform (ConstructConnect, iSqFt, Dodge, Bid Express, etc.) is required, though no specific system is mandatory.
What You Bring
- 5–15 years of experience in construction bidding, estimating, or public procurement
- Strong experience with public-sector bids (schools, municipalities, parks & rec)
- Ability to lead a small team while still doing hands-on bid preparation
- High proficiency with bidding platforms (any major system)
- Strong documentation, compliance, and process discipline
- Ability to manage multiple bids simultaneously
- Clear, confident cross-functional communication
- Comfort transitioning a fragmented process into a centralized, standardized function
- Sports industry experience is not required — construction experience is the priority
Benefits & Compensation
- $100,000–$140,000 base salary
- Opportunity to build a unified bid function with full ownership
- High visibility across operations, sales, and leadership
- Ability to directly influence win-rate, documentation quality, and process maturity
