Job description

KOMPAN Canada is looking for a Bid & Proposal Specialist to coordinate, manage, and deliver winning proposals and bid submissions across Ontario.

Reporting to the Managing Director - Canada, you’ll collaborate closely with our Sales Consultants and the North America Bid & Proposal team to evaluate opportunities, gather key information, and deliver high-quality proposals.

If you have strong attention to detail and love collaborating to hit tight deadlines, we want to hear from you!

Who We Are

For more than 50 years, KOMPAN has researched, designed, and built innovative and imaginative commercial playground equipment and outdoor fitness sites that captivate all ages and abilities.

In collaboration with our global headquarters in Denmark, KOMPAN designs, manufactures, and installs more than 1,000 sites a month across 90 different countries. Our Canadian HQ (Kitchener, ON) supports all Canadian operations with strong support from our North American HQ (Austin, Texas).

At KOMPAN, we take pride in our commitment to the global environment. We exceed sustainability efforts and make it possible to lower carbon emissions by utilizing recycled ocean waste, consumer‑recycled plastics, and textile wastes to create playgrounds that are born green or made green.

As a global leader with an organizational focus on people, passion, progress, and performance, our mission is to create healthier and happier communities by delivering the best in play and fitness solutions. We’re KOMPAN - let’s play!

What You’ll Do

Own and manage the full proposal and bid process by :

  • Coordinating with Sales Consultants to gather key details and manage timelines for accurate, on‑time submissions
  • Collaborating with the North American Bid & Proposal team to ensure best practices across regions
  • Customizing, editing, and assembling proposal documents using up‑to‑date templates and company content
  • Organizing and maintaining a centralized library of project materials, case studies, credentials, and templates
  • Tracking all bid submissions and outcomes, following up with Sales on results and lessons learned

Support cross‑functional info gathering and collaboration by :

  • Acting as the point person to connect Sales, Project, and Technical teams for input and approvals
  • Proactively troubleshooting gaps, chasing down needed details, and ensuring everything is submission‑ready
  • Stepping in for project coordination or data collection as needed
  • Provide light support for marketing and communications by :

  • Occasionally editing and optimizing proposal content for local social media posts, website updates, and win announcements
  • Assisting with the collection of site photos and testimonials to strengthen proposals and marketing materials
  • Leveraging digital tools (including generative AI like ChatGPT) to speed up editing, research, or basic content creation
  • This is a hybrid position, working 3 days a week from our Kitchener office location.

    What You’ll Need

  • Strong project coordination skills—you love managing moving pieces, timelines, and details
  • 1+ year experience supporting bids, proposals, or other document‑heavy processes (or, show us you’re a natural at organizing and juggling deadlines)
  • Solid writing and editing chops—quick with templates, sharp with details, clear and professional in tone
  • Experienced in using Microsoft Office and familiar with digital or AI‑based content tools
  • Super‑organized and proactive—you spot gaps, chase info, and keep things running smoothly
  • Team player—excellent communicator and able to get what’s needed from different functions
  • Positive attitude and comfort thriving in a fast‑paced, deadline‑driven environment
  • Graphic design and / or desktop publishing skills are a bonus
  • Perks and Benefits

  • Flexible Health and Wellness spending account
  • RRSP with company match, helping you invest in your future
  • Paid vacation, sick days, and a robust holiday schedule
  • Home office setup—laptop, docking station, monitors, and more
  • Mileage reimbursement for travel
  • Ongoing professional development and training
  • Commitment to equity, diversity, accessibility, and providing workplace accommodations as needed
  • KOMPAN is committed to providing a barrier‑free work environment in concert with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act and the Ontario Human Rights Code. As such, we will make accommodation available to applicants with disabilities upon request during the recruitment process.
