Bid Coordinator

At Lyft, our purpose is to serve and connect. We aim to achieve this by cultivating a work environment where all team members belong and have the opportunity to thrive.

The Bid Coordinator is the organizational backbone of the bid team. Working alongside Bid Managers and Bid Specialists, this role makes sure every bid runs to a rigorous, well-managed process, so that deadlines are met, contributors know what is expected of them, and nothing falls through the cracks. This is a process and project coordination role rather than a content or strategy role. The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, and proactive: someone who enjoys building order out of complexity, keeps many moving parts on track at once, and is comfortable following up with colleagues across the business to keep work moving. It is a strong entry point for someone looking to grow a career in bid management.

Responsibilities:

• Bid Planning and Scheduling Support
  
• Support Bid Managers in building bid plans that work backward from the submission date, including milestones, review gates, internal deadlines, and buffer time.
• Set up and maintain bid trackers, schedules, and responsibility matrices (e.g., RACI) for each pursuit.
• Keep plans up to date as timelines shift, and flag schedule risks to the Bid Manager early.

Experience:

• 2 - 4 years of experience in a coordination, project support, bid/proposal support, or administrative role in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
• Strong organizational and time management skills, with a proven ability to manage multiple deadlines and priorities at once.
• Exceptional attention to detail and a methodical approach to tracking and checking work.
• Confident, professional communicator who is comfortable following up with colleagues at all levels, including senior stakeholders.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office or Google Workspace (especially Excel/Sheets and Word/Docs) and comfort with project tracking tools.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
• Preferred:
• Experience supporting public sector or formal procurement tenders.
• Familiarity with project management tools (e.g., Smartsheet, Asana, Monday, Jira) and e-procurement portals.
• APMP Foundation certification or project coordination training (e.g., CAPM, PRINCE2 Foundation), or interest in pursuing one.
• Basic document formatting or design skills.

Benefits:

• Extended health and dental coverage options, along with life insurance and disability benefits
• Mental health benefits
• Family building benefits
• Pet benefits
• Access to a Lyft funded Health Care Savings Account
• RRSP plan with company match to help save for your future
• In addition to provincial observed holidays, salaried team members are covered under Lyft's flexible paid time off policy. The policy allows team members to take off as much time as they need (with manager approval). Hourly team members get 15 days paid time off, with an additional day for each year of service
• Lyft is proud to support new parents with 18 weeks of paid time off, designed as a top-up plan to complement provincial programs. Biological, adoptive, and foster parents are all eligible.
• Subsidized commuter benefits and Lyft ride credits
