ABOUT THE ROLE:

Udemy for Business (UFB) is seeking an experienced Enterprise Sales Proposal Specialist who will be at the center of our proposal and RFP response process and will write, coordinate, review, and oversee enterprise sales proposals and bids, while strengthening, expanding and automating bid processes and procedures to scale.

The ideal candidate has a strong background in bid proposal methodologies, orchestrating complex RFP bids across functional teams, and designing processes to streamline and scale proposal responses. Strong team skills are required to work across our global teams, in particular, working closely with our account, customer success, content, and product teams. You will manage the RFP/RFI response process for complex proposals from solution meeting to delivery. You will validate compliance with proposal requirements and lead a cross-functional team to successfully submit responses by the client-provided deadline. You will establish and maintain a compliant outline, a proposal schedule, a compliance matrix, and be adept at overall RFP analysis.

This position will report directly to the VP of Sales.

Here is what you will be doing:

  • Manage the full life cycle of the proposal response process from analysis of RFP/RFI to final submission of responses with input and guidance from cross-functional teams.
  • Review RFPs/RFIs and other solicitation documents to determine proposal requirements and prepare draft and final responses.
  • Manage and coordinate the process, timeline, and response for all RFIs, RFPs received from customers and prospects and coordinate responses from multiple internal teams; customer success, content, product, and engineering. Develop RFP response strategy and review sessions throughout the life of a proposal.
  • Final proofing, review, formatting, and compilation of complete responses.
  • Deploy scalable methodologies and tools (e.g., Loopio) to streamline information flow and re-usability.
  • Work closely with Udemy for Business SMEs to develop and maintain database or documentation of standard response content for RFPs.
  • Identify and build new processes to improve and scale our RFP responses.
  • As necessary, provide writing, technical editing, production coordination, and content development for proposals and proposal related documentation.

We're excited about you because you will have:

  • Minimum of 3+ years marketing coordination, sales coordination, sales enablement, project coordination and/or writing experience.
  • Relevant experience working in a fast-paced environment, with diverse and global functional teams, using the latest RFP software tools (e.g., Loopio and others).
  • Customer-focused, nimble, creative and superb organizational skills.
  • Ability to manage complex, multi-faceted RFP responses.
  • Exceptional verbal, written and communication skills.
  • Ability to manage projects of varying size, scope, and complexity and prioritizing appropriately.

How does the company support your career growth?

I started as an ADR here in Denver. Though I pivoted to sales before the pandemic, I was able to pursue my passion of facilities, project management, and people within the Workplace team, based on my previous experience within Brewery Facilities. Udemy embodies the term retention – they want great talent, and keep top talent by hiring within!
