• Develop labor and cost build-ups using labor categories, direct labor rates, indirect rates, escalation factors, and other applicable pricing assumptions.
• Perform cost and price analyses, including comparisons against historical pricing, IDIQ ceiling rates, and available market data.
• Support price-to-win assessments and competitive pricing strategies in coordination with Capture Managers.
• Review subcontractor quotes and pricing submissions for reasonableness, accuracy, and compliance with solicitation requirements.
• Prepare and maintain pricing workbooks in Microsoft Excel that are accurate, traceable, and formatted according to solicitation requirements.
• Develop cost and price narratives and Basis of Estimate (BOE) documentation that clearly explain pricing methodologies, assumptions, and calculations.
• Conduct quality checks to ensure pricing volumes reconcile with technical volumes, staffing plans, labor categories, and other proposal documents.
• Maintain pricing templates, labor rate tables, historical pricing data, and supporting documentation for future proposals.
• Protect proprietary, confidential, and competition-sensitive pricing information in accordance with company policies and applicable requirements.
• Coordinate with proposal, capture, finance, and contracts personnel to meet submission deadlines and support compliant proposal development.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including formulas, lookup functions, pivot tables, and structured workbook development.
• Strong analytical skills and exceptional attention to detail, with the ability to identify discrepancies and validate complex calculations.
• Strong written communication skills and the ability to prepare clear, accurate pricing narratives and supporting documentation.
• Ability to manage competing priorities, work independently, and meet deadlines in a remote, part-time environment.
• Ability to handle proprietary, confidential, and competition-sensitive pricing information with discretion.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with proposal and capture teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• 1–3+ years of experience in federal proposal pricing, cost analysis, or government contract accounting.
• Understanding of government contract types, including Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), Time and Materials (T&M), Labor Hour, and Cost-Plus contracts, and their pricing implications.
• Knowledge of indirect rate structures, including fringe, overhead, and General and Administrative (G&A) expenses, as well as wrap rate development.
