What You'll Do

  • Own end-to-end pricing for proposals, from solicitation review and strategy through final cost volume submission. 

  • Build and maintain audit-ready Excel models including labor, indirects, escalation, fee, and subcontractors that are clear, accurate, and easy to defend. 

  • Apply and interpret cost principles and requirements such as FAR Part 31, 2 CFR 200, and agency guidance to ensure compliant, responsive pricing. 

  • Partner with cross-functional teams to translate staffing and level of effort into budgets, validate rates and assumptions, and integrate subcontractor proposals and required flowdowns. 

  • Support cost narratives and final proposal reviews, checking for cost realism, consistency with the technical approach, and mathematical accuracy. 

  • Help strengthen pricing templates, tools, and processes, and provide support for audits, negotiations, and post-award analysis. 

  • Contribute to select FP&A activities, including supporting budget-to-actual variance analysis and providing pricing data to inform internal financial planning discussions. 

What You'll Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, business, or a related field. 

  • 5+ years of hands-on pricing experience for federal and/or state government contracts. 

  • Advanced Excel skills and comfort building complex, multi-variable pricing models. 

  • Working knowledge of FAR Part 31 and 2 CFR 200, including experience across contract types (cost-reimbursable, T&M, fixed price). 

  • Clear communicator who thrives in a collaborative, deadline-driven proposal environment. 

Even Better if You Bring

  • Pricing experience for health-focused programs (e.g., HHS/CMS/CDC/NIH/HRSA; Medicaid/public health). 

  • Familiarity with GSA Schedules and contract vehicles such as IDIQs/GWACs. 

  • Experience supporting audits and indirect rate activities (e.g., DCAA) and/or competitive price-to-win work. 

  • Familiarity with tools such as GovWin IQ, Salesforce, SharePoint, Power BI, and/or Deltek Costpoint. 

  • Some exposure to FP&A concepts or processes, such as budget development, variance reporting, or financial forecasting. 

How You'll Succeed

  • Bring strong analytical judgment and sweat the details, especially in complex, multi-variable models. 

  • Collaborate effectively across teams, translating technical inputs into clear, defensible pricing. 

  • Manage multiple deadlines, prioritize quickly, and keep quality high under pressure. 

  • Stay curious and continuously build knowledge of procurement trends, regulations, and better ways to streamline pricing work.
