  • Develop working knowledge of the company’s technology, manufacturing capabilities, and operational constraints, translating technical and business inputs into clear scope, assumptions, pricing, and customer-facing deliverables.
  • Engage customers to clarify requirements, align scope and commercial expectations, negotiate pricing and contract terms, communicate technical and manufacturing capabilities, and advance opportunities toward contract award.
  • At S06, lead multi-team initiatives to improve the quoting operating model, align senior stakeholders on priorities, and drive adoption of processes, systems, and standards across the organization.
  • Coordinate internal decisions and approvals across Business Development, Engineering, Manufacturing, Program Management, Planning, Quality, Supply Chain, Strategy, Finance, Contracts, and Executive Leadership; interface with customers and partners as needed to clarify requirements, assumptions, pricing, deliverables, and timelines.

  • Experience owning complex B2B quotes, pricing models, cost build-ups, proposals, or customer contracting processes in aerospace, defense, advanced manufacturing, or other technically complex industries.
  • Experience implementing customer relationship management systems, workflow automation, business intelligence, or data-driven quote-pipeline reporting and performance measurement.
  • Experience designing and rolling out cross-functional operating cadences, approval structures, process standards, or scalable commercial systems with measurable improvements.
