Description of Duties:

We’re looking for a detail-oriented and analytical Pricing Analyst to join a fast-paced, high-performing team supporting the development, coordination, and submission of compliant and compelling proposals for Amentum's Missile Defense Division.

You will play a vital role in developing winning pricing strategies.

The candidate will be responsible for the following:

Proposal Development:

Regulatory Compliance:

Rate Management & Strategy:

Cost Estimating:

• Collaborate with program managers, technical teams, and functional departments to develop and substantiate Basis of Estimates (BOEs) for labor, materials, subcontracts, and other direct costs.

Labor Rate Substantiation:

• Develop and justify direct labor rates for proposals, primarily using internal payroll data and established compensation structures as the auditable basis of estimate.
• Leverage external data, including the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and other salary surveys, to validate internal rates, benchmark for competitiveness, and establish rates for new roles.

Financial Modeling:

• Create and maintain complex pricing models to analyze cost data, determine price reasonableness, and perform what-if analysis to optimize pricing strategies.

The successful candidate will:

• Ensure all proposals strictly adhere to FAR, DFARS, and CAS, accurately applying FPRA rates to mitigate compliance risk.
• Develop and defend robust Basis of Estimates (BOEs) for all cost elements, particularly for direct labor using a combination of internal and external data sources.

• Foster strong, collaborative relationships with Program Management, technical teams, and Finance to ensure a cohesive and well-substantiated proposal.
