Buchanan & Edwards is an Equal Opportunity Employer. The information collected by this application is solely to determine suitability for employment, verify identity, and maintain employment statistics on applicants.
We are seeking a highly analytical and forward-thinking Strategic Pricing Analyst with deep expertise in "price to win" (PTW) methodologies and competitive bid pricing strategies for federal government opportunities. This individual will drive competitive pricing analysis across the full lifecycle of pursuit activities, leveraging both open-source information and proprietary/industry data to derive "guesstimates" of the government's independent cost estimate (ICE) and to assess likely competitor pricing relative to the ICE. The Strategic Pricing Analyst will work collaboratively with capture, proposal, and pricing teams to inform business strategies resulting in compliant, competitive, and profitable bid submissions.
The ideal candidate will be adept at identifying opportunities to drive down labor costs through technology adoption or automation, constructing accurate levels of effort (LOE) and bills of materials (BOM), developing and executing risk mitigation strategies in pricing, and ensuring excellence in pricing across all major federal contract types (including cost plus, firm fixed price, time & materials, and hybrids).
Location: Hybrid - McLean, VA
To keep breaking barriers and redefining what's possible, we're looking for candidates with the following exceptional technical capabilities:
