The position also advises leadership on bid decisions and develops competitive bid pricing by mapping labor categories to vehicle rates, building price-to-win models, applying appropriate discounts, and checking margins. Additional duties include handling public information and records requests and supporting business development with bid-related representations, certifications, registrations, and proposal compliance materials. The role reports to the Director of Finance and works with capture, business development, technology partners, program teams, certification and audit organizations, and reporting partners.

• Ability to brief executives clearly, providing a recommendation, supporting reasoning, and factors that could change the recommendation.
• Sound judgment regarding the scope of work the company does and does not handle.
• Experience building competitive bid pricing, including mapping labor categories to rate schedules, building price-to-win models, and analyzing margins.

Nice To Haves
