Description

Our mission

Climate change is causing deep uncertainty at all levels of society, with climate volatility reducing the security of all land-based assets and posing a multi-level security threat for the functioning of enterprises, societies, and governments.

Mitiga is a spinoff of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, which hosts Mare Nostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe.

Mitiga's mission is firmly rooted in employing cutting-edge science and technology to mitigate the multifaceted risks posed by climate-driven perils. Our approach spans a spectrum of temporal scales, from real-time and annual forecasts to projections spanning the next century. This comprehensive perspective on risk, coupled with our capacity to transfer risks to capital markets via catastrophe bonds, positions us to significantly contribute to enhanced climate mitigation, resilience, and equity.

And we need you.
What you'll do

• You will work directly with the Chief Strategy Officer. You’ll also interact with the commercial (sales) and R&D (public grants) teams as well as engage with our technology and consulting partners.
  
• You will take charge of the entire bid process for innovation challenges, from initial proposal creation to contract win. This entails relentlessly hunting for bid opportunities that align with Mitiga’s strategic objectives. You will also use your exceptional writing skills in English (and bonus points if you know Spanish or other languages!) to create detailed, costed, and persuasive proposals that close deals.
  
• You will create a successful strategy for winning a bid, carving out our unique selling points and understanding our clients’ specific requirements. For that, you need to bring your A game in terms of researching, writing, and validating proposals.
  
• Shape and execute your own innovation bid strategy with minimal direction.
  
• You will collaborate with the rest of the Mitiga team to gather insights for developing winning proposals and support them in their own commercial tenders and public grants.
  
• You will put together budgets, respond to prospects’ queries before, during and after the bid has been submitted.
  
• You will also support the strategy team in researching current and future market trends, especially in bringing more understanding of needs and pain points from our targeted sectors.
  

Requirements

• A minimum of 3 years of experience in creating and managing bid process’, preferably within consulting or within any of our targeted sectors such as infrastructure, energy, commercial real estate, asset management or climate.
  
• Fluency or working professional level of English. Additional languages are considered a plus
  
• Previous experience in external facing roles is considered a plus
  
• Project Management & strong pitch presentation skills
  

Diversity
A recent study shows that one in every 10 tech workers in Spain are women. Only 8% of all contracts in 2019 with people with disabilities were in technology and science. Meanwhile, 30% of LGTBIQ people in Spain do not come out in the workplace for fear of discrimination.

This is neither the world we want to live in nor the workplace we’re building.

Mitiga is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.
In fact, we strongly encourage applicants from minority groups to apply.

Our offer
Our vision is to be the place where a diverse mix of talented people want to come, to stay and do their best work. Some of our benefits, like unlimited personal time or flexible working arrangements, help work adjust to your life – and not the other way around. You can work from home or come twice a week to our office near the beach in one of the coolest spaces in town (Talent Garden). Dogs and other furry friends are welcome!

Our compressed work schedule allows you to work half a day on Fridays during the year (so you can start the weekend early). During the summer, it also allows you to work 4 days a week, so you spend time with your loved ones (or work on your tan). Shadow our leadership and participate in our structured feedback and mentorship programs. If you grow, we grow.
