Sun City is a leading provider of integrated facility solutions. We are seeking a sophisticated Strategic Account Manager to spearhead our pre-tender engagement strategy and lead our competitive bidding process. Unlike traditional sales roles, this position focuses on long-cycle relationship architecture—identifying and influencing key stakeholders within Tier-1 commercial and industrial assets before the formal procurement process begins, and personally steering the proposal to a successful win.
Key Responsibilities
• Market Intelligence & Mapping: Identify high-value asset portfolios and map the decision-making unit (DMU) including Property Managers, MCST Councils, and Procurement Heads.
• Pre-Tender Influence: Engage prospects early in the contract lifecycle to conduct "needs discovery," positioning our service capabilities as the benchmark for upcoming tender specifications.
• End-to-End Bid Management: Lead the entire submission process once a tender is live. This includes coordinating with technical teams, site walks, pricing strategy, and the final assembly of compelling, high-quality bid documents.
• Brand Ambassadorship: Serve as the primary face of the organization, maintaining an impeccable professional image that aligns with the premium nature of our facility partners.
• Pipeline Nurturing & Closing: Manage a sophisticated CRM of contract expiry dates and incumbent gaps. You are responsible for the lead from the initial "cold" touchpoint through to the final contract signing and handover.
The Desired Profile
• The Architect: You are socially confident, articulate, and capable of building instant rapport with diverse stakeholders.
• The Driver: You are motivated by outcomes, possess a high sense of urgency, and are disciplined in your pursuit of market share.
• The Closer: You possess the technical rigor to manage complex bid documents and the "finishing touch" required to win competitive tenders.
• Communication Excellence: Exceptional command of English; the ability to present complex operational solutions with clarity and poise during formal tender interviews.
• Strategic Intuition: You understand that "farming" is about timing and trust, while "winning" is about precision and compliance.
Qualifications
- Significant experience in Business Development, Corporate Relations, or Luxury Hospitality.
- Proven track record in Bid Management or Proposal Writing, specifically within the Singapore commercial landscape (e.g., GeBIZ or private MNC tenders).
- Demonstrated ability to manage long-term, high-value corporate relationships from inception to close.
- A background in Facilities Management or Real Estate is advantageous but secondary to your ability to influence, persuade, and execute.
