Tasks

As Proposal & Project Manager, you own proposal management for Infinite Orbits Germany's bids and funding applications and lead project delivery once contracts are won. You run the proposal process end to end, from planning and compliance through to final assembly and submission, while Business Development, the engineering team, and the R&D and Innovation Managers own the commercial, technical, and technology content.
