Lead Price & Proposal Analyst – Evaluation & Negotiation Support
About The Position
We’re hiring the lead price and proposal analyst supporting a high-priority DoD program office at Eglin AFB. This is the government-side evaluation seat: you analyze the price proposals that contractors submit, develop the program’s negotiation positions, and act as the central coordination point for every proposal that comes into the program — tracking, routing, and shepherding each one through evaluation to award. We’re specifically looking for someone who has led price proposals from the industry side — at a prime or supplier — and can bring that insider perspective to evaluating them on behalf of the government. This is a high-visibility role on a significant national-defense program, based on Florida’s Emerald Coast — Destin-area beaches, no state income tax, and a close-knit defense community.
