Online Bidder
Job Description
We are looking for a proactive and business-oriented Online Bidder to identify relevant project opportunities, submit customized proposals, and generate qualified business leads through freelance platforms, agency directories, tender portals, and other online business-generation channels.
The role involves researching opportunities, understanding client requirements, assessing project suitability, preparing persuasive proposals, managing bid submissions, following up with prospects, and coordinating with the sales team to convert opportunities into business.
We are looking for someone who understands that successful bidding is not about submitting the maximum number of proposals. It is about identifying the right opportunities, presenting our services effectively, and generating meaningful conversations with potential clients.
The primary platforms include Upwork, Fiverr, Freelancer, PeoplePerHour, GoodFirms, DesignRush, and relevant tender portals and online business directories.
Key Responsibilities
1. Project & Opportunity Research

2. Proposal Writing & Bid Submission
- Prepare customized proposals based on the client's requirements, challenges, and project objectives.
- Communicate our services, relevant experience, approach, and value proposition clearly.
- Write concise, persuasive proposals that demonstrate an understanding of the client's specific needs.
- Submit bids accurately and within deadlines, following each platform's requirements.
- Avoid generic, copy-pasted applications and focus on relevance, personalization, and quality.
- Coordinate with the internal team to obtain technical details, pricing inputs, case studies, or other information needed for strong proposals.
3. Client Communication & Follow-Ups
- Respond professionally to client enquiries, messages, and requests for additional information.
- Follow up on submitted proposals and maintain communication with interested prospects.
- Clarify project requirements and identify opportunities that may lead to further discussions.
- Coordinate meetings or hand over promising opportunities to the sales team when appropriate.
- Maintain a professional and consistent communication process throughout the bidding cycle.
4. Agency Directories & Tender Opportunities
- Identify potential clients through platforms such as GoodFirms, DesignRush, and other relevant agency directories.
- Research suitable tender opportunities, requests for proposals (RFPs), and business requirements.
- Review eligibility criteria, submission guidelines, documentation requirements, and deadlines before proceeding.
- Coordinate with the relevant team members to gather the information and documents needed for submissions.
- Maintain a record of relevant opportunities, submission status, deadlines, and outcomes.
5. Bid Tracking & Performance Reporting
- Maintain accurate records of opportunities, proposals submitted, client responses, follow-ups, and bid outcomes.
- Track key performance indicators such as relevant opportunities identified, proposals submitted, response rates, qualified leads, meetings booked, and business won.
- Analyze which platforms, industries, project types, and proposal approaches generate the best results.
- Share regular updates with management and recommend improvements to the bidding process.
- Keep opportunity records organized in the CRM or tracking sheet to ensure consistent follow-up.
