Will you shape the winning bid management team together with our Head of Bid Management?
Your challenge
You are an indispensable part of the winning Bid Management Team. You do every tender project together with this team and you like it when everyone on the team is intensively involved. You enjoy being responsible for a project from A-Z. You put together a team of colleagues with the right expertise to help you with the call for tenders. Our colleagues understand the importance of tenders and are motivated to help. You ensure that everyone keeps sparring with each other throughout each project to continuously improve quality. You give constructive feedback and enjoy feedback on your work. Because you too know: together we win more and more.
You also think it is cool to work together in a different way than usual and to experiment in this; we base our cooperation on the Agile method. This method ensures that we can spend enough time on each project to make it a professional project! Together with the Head of Bid Management, you decide exactly how we will organise this collaboration.
This is you
Best winning bid management team in the Netherlands. We are investing in a newly formed team, which you will be part of! We now work a lot with external expertise, led by our Head of Bid Management, but want to take the next step. We are going to build the best winning bid management team in the Netherlands. And we won't stop until we are (and when we are)!
Together realistic. You probably also want to win all tenders. Should it fail once, we will learn together what we will do better next time. In Hero's winning bid management team, we emphasise together. Working together, deciding together, learning together, winning together and celebrating together. That too is part of being the best!
Working in a growth company. We have professionalised Bid Management within Hero in recent years and it has paid off! Our win rate over 2023 is 42% and we have won great deals, such as Ministry of Defence, Utrecht University, Wageningen University & Research and the Municipality of Haarlem. Our turnover has been growing by at least 40% year on year for 5 years. Growth is a goal in itself for Hero, which is why we want to continue growing by at least 40% a year for the next 10 years. Hero's winning bid management team's ambition is to enable at least half of this revenue growth every year.
At the office. We work at our offices in Wognum. Why? Because becoming the best doesn't work if everyone works individually at home behind their laptops. But don't worry: we have a specially equipped room for the winning bid management team with places to both work undisturbed and collaborate. Furthermore, our chef provides everyone with a full and varied lunch every day. In our own game room we have a pool table and table tennis, darts and a giga-screen where you can play FIFA. Great for blowing off some steam after hard work, in other words. At the office, we also have small drinks every Friday, a XXXL drinks party every quarter and several team outings per year.
Social impact. We think making social impact is very important. We are a signatory of the Diversity Charter and socially involved at national and regional level. We sponsor and participate in activities for Leekerweide, an organisation that provides care, support and treatment to people with disabilities. We are active for the Westfriese Uitdaging Foundation, an entrepreneurial network based on corporate social responsibility. We sponsored ‘Education Nepal close to home’, which has already enabled 250 children from Nepal to enjoy education. We also sponsor the local sports club Spartanen and donate to charities such as KWF cancer, Princess Beatrix Fund and ‘Nederland Schoon’.

Colleague stories
There is a lot to tell about Hero — and we’re more than happy to share it with enthusiasm and pride. Be prepared: when you come to visit us, our enthusiasm tends to run away with us ;). Below is a brief summary of our story. We present to you: Hero in #s.
#Vakmanship
At Hero, we work with true professionals. We practise our craft with passion and dedication, always striving for the perfect match between candidate and client. We know our clients (and their environments) well, have a strong network of professionals, and offer a high level of quality, service and speed.
#Growth
We’ve been growing rapidly since our founding in 2007 — between 45% and 65% per year. We break record after record, and we celebrate every one of them! We have a growth-driven culture with plenty of opportunities to advance. In short: growth is our goal.
#PersonalDevelopment
Growth at Hero is important — but your personal growth is just as important to us. To support and encourage that, we offer countless coaching, training and development opportunities — individually and as a team.
#HeroFacts
Hero works for 100+ clients, with 80+ colleagues on the team. Through us, 1,200+ interim professionals are currently working on assignments. All of this (and more!) contributes to our annual growth of roughly 45% to 65%. And counting…
#HeroAcademy
Through our Hero Academy, we safeguard the quality of our services and the development of our people. Top internal and external specialists share their knowledge and expertise, and with our LMS (Learning Management System) we provide a digital, modern learning environment for all employees.
#C division
Craftsmanship — and the quality, service and speed that come with it — is extremely important to us. That’s why, as we grow, we make full use of the power of staying small. Whenever one of our offices (our “cells”) becomes too large, we split it. This helps us preserve the strength and agility of a small team. We call this Cell division.
#Culture
We have a unique culture — and we devote a great deal of attention to it. We’d love to tell you much more, but in short it comes down to this: we are open, honest, supportive and we have a lot of fun together. At Hero, making mistakes is allowed — it’s part of learning and entrepreneurship.
