Senior Program Analyst

UFORCE

About The Position

UFORCE US is seeking a Senior Program Analyst to solve cross-functional problems affecting deals, margins, and timelines. The role applies analytical rigor and commercial judgment to pricing, agreements, program performance, and processes connecting Sales, Capture, Finance, Engineering, and Delivery. This is an ownership-focused senior individual contributor role. The analyst investigates business issues, quantifies their impact, and implements durable fixes through models, processes, policies, or feedback loops. The role helps teams understand commercial commitments, delivery costs, and risks, and partners with Legal and capture leads for specialist contract and defense acquisition expertise. The position reports to US Sales leadership and works directly with Capture, Finance, and Engineering. It does not manage a team; influence comes through evidence, credibility, and sound judgment.

Requirements

Experience running or materially improving an operating function or end-to-end process, with accountability for whether it worked in practice.
Product management experience owning a product, platform, or service line, including gathering requirements, prioritizing against constraints, partnering directly with Engineering, and delivering outcomes.
Business finance fluency, including the ability to interrogate a P&L and work with cost build-ups, gross margin, contribution, cash and payment timing, revenue recognition, pipeline, bookings, and backlog.
Strong analytical and modeling skills, including structuring ambiguous questions, assembling and validating data, testing assumptions and sensitivities, and communicating defensible recommendations within decision timelines.
Commercial judgment to read contracts and statements of work for delivery commitments, cost exposure, and risk, and to recognize when specialist legal or technical advice is needed.
Ability to build clear, maintainable models, policies, and workflows that people adopt, alongside hands-on fluency with CRM and reporting tools.
Senior-level judgment and presence, with the ability to influence and challenge stakeholders across Sales, Capture, Finance, Engineering, Delivery, and Legal using evidence.
Strong written communication, forensic attention to detail, intellectual honesty, and initiative to take a messy problem through to resolution without managing a team.
Ability to balance accuracy with speed, surface uncomfortable findings early, and make explicit trade-offs when bid deadlines compete with standing responsibilities.

Nice To Haves

Experience in hardware, manufacturing, or a dual-use business with changing volumes and configurations.
Experience in a regulated industry where compliance obligations shaped commercial work.
Experience supporting bids, RFx responses, or major competitive pursuits in the public or private sector.
Exposure to government, public-sector, or international customers.
Startup or scale-up experience, particularly building processes that did not previously exist.
Defense or national security exposure, export-control familiarity, or an active or recently lapsed security clearance.

Responsibilities

Identify and quantify recurring friction in the commercial cycle, challenge established practices with evidence, and implement lasting improvements.
Review contracts and statements of work for scope, deliverables, schedules, payment terms, and cost implications; track obligations, milestones, renewals, and compliance requirements; and involve Legal or other specialists early.
Identify scope changes before they become unpriced work, quantify their impact, and support change-control and approval processes.
Partner with Engineering, supply chain, and Finance to maintain cost build-ups for products, integration, training, spares, and sustainment; use sensitivity analysis, competitor intelligence, customer budgets, and margin thresholds to inform pricing and pursuit decisions.
Track actual cost, schedule, and margin against bid assumptions, explain variances, and apply lessons to future quotes and models.
Reconcile pipeline, bookings, backlog, revenue timing, and program costs across functions; produce reporting and forward-looking analysis for planning and resourcing.
Support major bids and pursuits with pricing analysis, cost narratives, requirements tracking, data gathering, document control, and bid coordination during surge periods, with explicit agreements on priorities and trade-offs.
Develop practical policies, templates, and approval paths for pricing, discounting, bid/no-bid decisions, contract review, risk acceptance, and handoffs to Delivery.
Establish a structured route for field requirements and configuration requests, ensuring non-standard commitments receive feasibility assessments and cost positions before being presented to customers.
Maintain accurate CRM and reporting data, automate recurring work, and turn win/loss reviews, pricing variances, and delivery lessons into measurable improvements.
