Why this role matters

Public tenders are how Lime wins and keeps cities: they decide where we operate and how we grow. That makes proposals the most important business project at Lime, and every bid is a race to a fixed deadline set by a city. The Bid Coordinator keeps that race on track, and this role is built as a springboard. You will learn the full bid lifecycle from the inside and grow quickly into bid management or writing. It is a major growth and development opportunity, in one of the most important teams at Lime.

You will support bids across Europe and collaborate with colleagues from Government Affairs, Operations, Product, Policy, Data, design and our policy & content team across countries and time zones. Above all, we want someone who wants to win and is energised by the challenge of each individual project. This is an exciting chance to join a growing team: Proposals has grown from 3 to 15 people in five years, and you will learn from people who do this well and see how a winning bid is built from first kickoff to final submission.

Lime is the biggest shared micromobility company in the world, but we still prioritise the spirit, drive, resourcefulness and competitiveness that got us here. We want builders, thinkers and creatives who pull together and figure out how to do it better each and every time.

What makes it a good job

• Real impact. A strong bid can open or protect a whole market. Your work is our top company priority.
• Learn from the best. You will work alongside bid managers and writers on live bids, and build your skills in both, with support from your manager and the wider team.
• A big growth opportunity. This is a launch point into bid management or writing, with real responsibility early and a fast track to growth.
• Good company. The deadlines are demanding, but the team is one you will enjoy working under pressure with. You’ll collaborate with capable, creative and driven professionals in government affairs, local operations, product, policy, data, design and fellow proposal team members, across countries and time zones.
• Variety. Several bids at once, across different cities and countries, plus projects to improve how we work. No two days are the same.
• An entrepreneurial culture. We build as we go: trying ideas, sharing what we learn and improving how we work with every bid. Many of our most innovative features and ideas started in a proposal war room. This is a chance to make your mark on Lime.
• A mission worth working on. We're committed to a future where transportation is shared, affordable and carbon-free, and we live our mission.

What you'll do

• Coordinate day-to-day delivery of bids across EMEA: schedules, tasks, deadlines and follow-ups with contributors, plus kickoff and cross-functional meetings
• Own document control and submission: versions, formatting, portals, forms and confirmation of receipt
• Turn tender documents into requirement lists, compliance checklists and key-date trackers, and check drafts and final documents for completeness, compliance and accuracy
• Support writers and bid managers by gathering inputs from Operations, Policy, Finance and local teams, preparing drafts for review and making revisions
• Run small bids and permit projects on your own, from kickoff to submission, as your experience grows, with support from bid managers and writers
• Help improve our processes and tooling: spot repeated problems, suggest fixes and try new tools, including AI-enabled ones, and use approved content from the content manager and content team
• Build your skills in both bid management and writing by shadowing colleagues, and take on more of each bid as you grow
• Travel occasionally to team offsites and major markets

About you

You want to win, and you are energised by the challenge of each individual project. This matters most to us.

• 2+ years of experience in a deadline-driven environment, such as bid or proposal support, project coordination, a PMO, operations, or a support role in a law firm, consultancy, agency, start-up or tech company. The public sector and procurement are also good preparation. Bachelor's degree preferred, or equivalent experience.
• Exceptional organisation and attention to detail, with clear, professional writing and editing: you notice the typo, the missing annex and the clashing date
• Confident with documents and tools such as Word, Google Workspace and project trackers, and keen to learn proposal tooling, including AI-enabled tools
• A friendly, confident collaborator, calm under pressure, who can chase inputs from busy people, escalate with good judgement and adapt to deadlines you do not control
• Comfortable working across cultures and time zones, including the occasional evening around a deadline. Language skills in our markets are a real advantage, but a drive to win matters more.
• An entrepreneurial, curious mindset and a genuine interest in transport, mobility and micromobility. A background in urban or transport planning, or experience with procurement or city planning documents, is a plus.
