  • Demonstrated experience leading a pricing function or team with direct accountability for pricing outcomes is required.
  • Expert command of FAR/DFARS cost and pricing principles, allowability, cost realism, and certified cost or pricing data requirements is required.

  • Advanced Excel modeling, including multi-year, multi-CLIN models with rate builds, escalation, and scenario analysis, is required.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the company's senior pricing authority, advising executive leadership, capture, and business development on pricing strategy, competitive positioning, and cost/price risk.
  • Lead price-to-win analysis and competitive pricing strategy; develop cost-saving opportunities, rate structures, commercial mechanisms, and pricing alternatives to optimize win probability, margin, and execution risk, and present alternatives and pricing scenarios.
  • Advise on contract type strategy, including FFP, T&M, cost-reimbursable, IDIQ, and GSA MAS, and structure pricing so risk aligns with the company's tolerance and delivery capability.
  • Partner with Finance on indirect rate strategy, forward pricing rates, and provisional billing rates, and advise on how rate-structure decisions affect competitiveness.
  • Support bid/no-bid decisions with early cost-realism and affordability assessments.
  • Personally develop pricing models, cost volumes, and price narratives for complex and strategic proposals.
  • Build and validate basis-of-estimate documentation with technical and program leads.
  • Respond to evaluation notices, discussions, and final proposal revisions under compressed timelines.
  • Price contract modifications, REAs, option exercises, and task-order proposals under existing vehicles.
  • Own the pricing model library, keeping models current, version-controlled, mathematically sound, and aligned to approved rates, wage determinations, and escalation assumptions.
  • Streamline the pricing process by reducing manual workarounds, eliminating redundant spreadsheets, and shortening cycle time from RFP release to submission.
  • Write and maintain pricing SOPs, desk procedures, templates, and review checklists, keeping them current as regulations and company practices change.
  • Establish a documented pricing review and approval workflow with defined roles, thresholds, and sign-off authority.
  • Maintain audit-ready pricing files and support DCAA/DCMA audits, pre-award surveys, and cost/price analysis inquiries.
  • Manage subcontractor and teaming-partner pricing inputs, including adequacy review and cost/price analysis.
  • Lead and mentor pricing staff and build bench strength so the function does not depend on any one individual.
  • Train business development, program, and contracts staff on pricing processes, data requirements, and timelines.
  • Oversee the day-to-day activities of the pricing team.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with Deltek Costpoint or comparable government contract accounting systems.
  • Experience across multiple agencies, including DoD, DHS, the Department of State, or civilian agencies.
