Are you an experienced bid manager looking to strengthen our sales organization that works with our public clients?

We are looking for someone who is driven by working with details and analyzing information where your work contributes to long-term and profitable business.

At Martin & Servera, we deliver food, beverages, and services to restaurants and large kitchens across Sweden. As a market leader, we drive development and work hard to make every day a little better. In the role of bid manager, you will be an important resource in developing our public business.

You will be part of a team where everyone shares the responsibility for our business within the Public Sales function in Halmstad. We are very goal-oriented and keen to stay ahead; we are receptive to the new demands from the outside world – that’s how we develop our business and maintain our position as market leaders. We are all driven by making long-term sustainable business. As a team, we show courage and engage ourselves to be a positive force in society and in the work team where we challenge each other to become a little better every day and have fun at work.

A Leading Sustainability Effort.

Sustainable business practices are an integral part of how we at Martin & Servera develop business. We are convinced that companies can change society for the better. Our sustainability strategy is based on maximizing business and societal benefits while minimizing negative impacts on people, animals, and nature. You will be an important part of the work we do together every day for a more sustainable future.

We have a strong and long-term owner in the family-owned Axel Johnson, which creates both security and great development opportunities within the group.

What We Offer You.

With us, you get an exciting job with good benefits such as a generous wellness allowance, healthcare allowance, and lunch subsidies. We challenge ourselves and value performance in the same way we care about a good balance between work and private life. We offer the possibility of remote work two days a week. For us, it is important to have a safe and secure working environment; therefore, we conduct random drug and alcohol tests in our workplaces.

Your Main Responsibilities.

In your role as a bid manager, you will be responsible for our bids to our public clients within municipalities, regions, and the state. This means that you will:

• Analyze bids, both before submission and after the bid response

You have colleagues in three locations in Sweden where collaboration is important to meet future demands. The organizational structure of Public Sales allows you to significantly influence working methods. Some collaboration occurs in project form. In this role, you are part of the team in Halmstad, but since we also have bid managers in several locations, we see that you can work from either Norrköping or Umeå.

Important for the Job to Suit You.

To handle the tasks, you are used to working independently, and you are interested in creating profitable business. You are meticulous, responsible, and detail-oriented.
