Are you ready to shape how public services are procured and delivered—while helping build EY Consulting’s public sector team in Denmark?

EY is a global leader in professional services with a dedicated Government & Public Sector practice that supports ministries, agencies, municipalities, and state‑owned enterprises across strategy, technology, and organizational transformation. We collaborate across the Nordics and beyond to help public sector organizations design, procure, and deliver impactful change—responsibly and at scale.

At EY, people are at the heart of everything we do. You’ll find the training, opportunities and flexibility to grow your career and make a lasting difference for citizens and society.

The Opportunity

Public institutions face complex procurement, compliance, and delivery demands - especially when adopting new technologies and operating models. In this role, you will lead end-to-end‑ pursuits (from go/nogo ‑ through submission and debrief) across competency areas, own contract lifecycles (from preaward risk shaping to ‑postaward‑ performance), and activate go‑tomarket (GTM) plans that position EY to win and deliver value across the Danish and Nordic public sector. You’ll be instrumental in building our public sector capability-codifying best practices, strengthening frameworks, and mentoring colleagues.

Key Responsibilities

Bid Management & Proposal Execution

• Drive opportunity qualification, win strategy, and storylining; orchestrate proposal teams, reviewers, and governance gates.
• Translate complex requirements (RFI/RFP, framework call‑offs) into compelling, compliant responses; manage clarifications, Q&A, and bidder conferences.
• Establish and maintain a high‑quality bid library (CVs, case studies, methods, graphics) and analytics for continuous improvement (win/loss, pricing, differentiators).

Contract Lifecycle Management

• Shape pre‑award terms and risk positions in collaboration with e.g. legal, independence, finance, and delivery leads.
• Own post‑award contract mobilization (SLAs, KPIs, reporting), change control, obligation tracking, and issue resolution; ensure clean hand‑offs to engagement teams.
• Monitor framework agreements and subcontractor agreements in terms of performance and compliance through formal governance (service credits, amendments, extensions, and renewals etc.).

Go‑to‑Market & Frameworks

• Activate GTM campaigns with sector and account teams - thought leadership, events, partner ecosystems, and alliance motions.
• Manage participation on relevant frameworks (e.g., Danish and Nordic public procurement frameworks), including onboarding, refreshes, and mini‑competitions.
• Maintain accurate pipeline hygiene in CRM and drive leadership visibility on pursuits, approvals, and progress.

Leadership & Ways of Working

• Coach consultants on pursuit excellence and public procurement best practices; contribute templates, playbooks, and training.
• Foster cross‑Nordic collaboration and knowledge sharing to amplify our impact in Government & Public Sector.

What We’re Looking For

Experience

• Demonstrated success leading complex public sector bids and contract lifecycles with high compliance requirements (EU procurement directives and Danish public procurement practices).

• Proven ability to partner with legal, finance, independence/risk, and delivery to balance win probability and contractual integrity.
• Familiarity with CRM‑driven pipeline management and bid governance; experience in consulting or technology‑enabled transformations is a plus.
