Achieving our customer success ambition is fundamentally based on the excellence of the solutions we deliver. We have a huge amount of talent in our delivery function and to support them and ensure a consistent customer experience we must apply world-class methodologies and processes in a consistent way across Version 1.
We are seeking a highly motivated Projects Assurance Bid & Proposal Partner to ensure the continued success of our engagements. This role will report into the Delivery Assurance Lead and will play a pivotal role in the preliminary review and assurance of bids, proposals, and contracts across all practices for Accounts to ensure projects are planned efficiently, effectively, and in alignment with business and customer objectives. This role is responsible for ensuring that all project documentation - including financial models (Fixed Price/ T&M / Capped T&M), resource profiles, and project approach (Waterfall, Agile and Hybrid plans) - are thoroughly reviewed, all obligations and responsibilities are clearly defined, and risks and dependencies are identified and appropriate responses and owners captured. The successful candidate will collaborate extensively with Technical, Delivery, Commercial and Workforce Management teams to validate project activities and estimates, ensuring all assumptions and risks are documented prior to issuance. As part of ongoing professional development, cross-training in assurance audits and reporting will be provided so that the successful candidate has the knowledge and ability to provide additional cover/ absorb assurance activities from Delivery Business Partners as appropriate.
The ideal candidate should have hands-on experience in drafting and reviewing preliminary project documentation (project business cases, bids, proposals, contracts/ project initiation documents) as well as first-hand delivery of projects, with a solid background in delivering successful agile engagements. Familiarity with the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) framework, or equivalent process maturity models, is highly desirable. A proven track record of successful cross-functional collaboration with Sales, Technical, Delivery and Enterprise PMO functions will be highly beneficial, as will experience working in an IT consulting company, either internally or customer-facing. This is an individual contributor role focused on providing strategic oversight and assurance, with no direct team management responsibilities. The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of governance and assurance principles, coupled with a proven ability to track and report on both the financial and operational performance of projects.
