• Own bid documentation: technical proposals, commercial proposals, EMD/bank guarantees, compliance matrices, and pre-bid query responses
• Track tender portals (GeM, CPPP, state e-procurement platforms) and maintain a live pipeline of relevant opportunities
• Ensure timely, accurate, and compliant submissions in line with tender timelines
• Support pricing strategy and commercial structuring in collaboration with finance and delivery teams
• Maintain a repository of reusable content, case studies, certifications, and compliance documents for faster bid turnaround
• Liaise with AWS and other technology partner teams for joint public sector pursuits where applicable
• Provide post-submission support including clarifications, presentations, and negotiation support as required
