What difference will you make?

In this exciting role, you will lead the strategic process for winning new business through competitive bids, tenders, and proposals, ultimately elevating AHO's success. Your specialised knowledge of bids will enhance our win rates and maximise revenue by bringing clarity, quality, and coordination to what can be a complex, high-stakes journey.

Your primary mission is to boost AHO's tender win rates and strengthen our strategic advantage.  By diligently overseeing each step of the bidding process—from initial evaluation to final submission—you will significantly improve the quality and persuasion of our proposals, directly increasing our chances of securing valuable contracts.

You'll provide key insights to help AHO target the most promising opportunities by implementing a thoughtful "bid/no-bid" process.  This approach will ensure we focus only on lucrative and winnable contracts that closely align with our strategic goals, ultimately saving time and resources and allowing us to prioritise high-potential projects.

In this role, you will orchestrate a well-coordinated process that drives operational efficiency.  As the central point of contact, you will gather input from diverse internal teams—sales, finance, legal, and technical—ensuring everyone collaborates smoothly to meet critical deadlines.

As a leader, you'll elevate the quality of our bid content.  By overseeing the creation of compelling, polished materials, you'll ensure our final submissions are professional, cohesive, and error-free.  You will utilise a centralised content library containing valuable resources, such as case studies and CVs, to streamline efforts and enhance our proposals.

You will keep projects on track by developing detailed project plans and timelines, ensuring all tasks are completed on time—especially critical in the fast-paced environment of tender submissions.  Your effective management will ease colleagues' workloads, allowing the entire team to shine.

To foster long-term business growth, you'll create a wealth of knowledge around our tenders and bids. By conducting insightful post-submission debriefs and analysing feedback, you will capture invaluable lessons from both successes and setbacks.  This ongoing improvement process will enhance our bidding capabilities for future opportunities.

You also have the opportunity to enhance AHO's brand reputation by submitting well-organised, accurate, and compliant bids.  By doing so, you'll showcase our professionalism and reliability to clients, building trust and solidifying our credible standing in the market.

Strategic alignment is vital for sustaining consistent, stable business growth.  Together, we can make a remarkable impact on development.

Our next volunteer induction will be held in September 2026, so please apply ASAP to be able to join.

Global Health Access Trust is inviting expressions of interest from experienced philanthropists, entrepreneurs, family-office professionals and senior business leaders who may be suited to joining the GHAT Strategic Philanthropy & Impact Council.

The Council is a selective advisory pathway for people who can bring experience, relationships and strategic thinking to GHAT’s long-term public-benefit work — and, where they choose, help open doors or contribute resources.

Global Health Access Trust (GHAT) develops, funds and coordinates defined projects that advance health, relieve illness and preserve life for the public benefit. Our work brings together professional and clinical expertise, human capability, responsible technology, essential infrastructure, trusted local relationships and accountable funding.

What you could contribute

• Offer strategic perspective on impact, growth and long-term sustainability
• Share relevant experience of building, funding or supporting serious organisations and initiatives
• Help GHAT think critically about philanthropy, partnerships and sustainable public-benefit funding
• Open doors to relevant people or institutions where you judge it appropriate

Who this could suit

We welcome expressions of interest from philanthropists, founders, entrepreneurs, investors, family-office and private-client professionals, and senior business leaders with an interest in health access and sustainable public benefit.

This is not a routine volunteering role. Council involvement is selective and designed for people able to contribute high-level judgement, experience or relationships periodically rather than undertake regular operational tasks.

The opportunity can usually be undertaken remotely from any country.

Expressing an interest does not confer Council membership. Membership is selective and follows review and appropriate due diligence by Global Health Access Trust.

The opportunity is voluntary and unpaid. There is no salary, fee, employment benefit or entitlement to expenses.

How to apply

Applications are handled through the Global Health Access Trust website. When you click to apply, you will be taken to GHAT’s Strategic Councils & Advisory Networks section, where you can review this opportunity and submit an expression of interest.
