About The Position

As a Pricing Analyst on our Corporate Finance team, you'll bring together two closely connected parts of our business: helping win new work by supporting proposal pricing, and helping deliver on our current commitments by managing program-level finances across a portfolio of federally funded contracts and grants. You'll partner directly with Project Directors and Program/Contract Managers on budgeting and forecasting, and you'll provide matrixed support to Altarum's Corporate Program Management Office (PMO) — contributing cross-program financial analysis, dashboards, and status reporting. If you're a finance professional with a few years of experience looking to build deep expertise in government contract and nonprofit program finance, this role offers a strong foundation within a mission-driven organization.

Requirements

3–5 years of relevant financial analysis, pricing, accounting, and program finance experience.
Experience in proposal pricing, cost volume development, or basis-of-estimate (BOE) preparation.
Familiarity with government contract types (cost-reimbursable, T&M, FFP) and basic FAR cost principles.
Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including pivot tables, lookups, and financial modeling.
Excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple concurrent programs and deadlines.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate financial data for non-financial audiences.
Ability to work independently and collaboratively across finance, program, and PMO teams.
Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, Economics, or a related field.
Candidates must be currently eligible to work in the United States; sponsorship is not available.
All work must be performed within the continental U.S. for the duration of employment, unless required by contract.
Ability to work core hours aligned with Eastern Time, unless otherwise approved by your manager.
Remote employees must maintain a dedicated, ergonomically appropriate workspace free from distractions, with reliable internet and a mobile device that supports efficient work.
