Pricing Analyst

At Altarum, we’re driven by a simple but powerful mission: improving the health of individuals with fewer financial resources and populations underserved by the healthcare system. We partner with federal and state agencies to design and deliver solutions that make a real, measurable difference.

About The Role

What You'll Do

• Support the development of cost proposals and pricing volumes for new business and recompete opportunities, including basis-of-estimate (BOE) documentation.
• Help build labor rate, escalation, and indirect rate build-ups for proposal pricing models, working closely with the Pricing and Contracts teams.
• Prepare cost realism and competitive pricing analyses to support solicitation responses.
• Coordinate with Business Development, Contracts, and Program teams to align pricing assumptions with program budgets and staffing plans.
• Support monthly financial reviews for your assigned programs and contracts, tracking actual costs against approved budgets and funding ceilings.
• Prepare and maintain program budgets, spend plans, and cost forecasts (EAC/ETC) in coordination with Project Directors.
• Analyze budget-to-actual variances and prepare variance narratives and corrective-action recommendations for management review.
• Track incurred costs, funding modifications, subcontractor spending, and contract ceiling balances.
• Support period-end and program closeout activities, including final financial reporting for completing programs.
• Serve as a financial liaison to Altarum's Corporate PMO, supplying program financial data for portfolio-level status reports, dashboards, and executive reviews.
• Help consolidate program-level financial metrics — such as burn rate, EAC/ETC, and funding utilization — into standardized PMO reporting templates.
• Support cross-program analysis to flag financial risks, funding gaps, or staffing/budget misalignments for PMO and finance leadership.
• Participate in Integrated Program Reviews (IPRs) and program status meetings, contributing financial insight alongside Project Directors.
• Help maintain consistency between program financial systems (e.g., Deltek Costpoint) and PMO reporting tools.

What You'll Bring

• 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.
• Experience with Deltek Costpoint or a similar government contract accounting/ERP system.
• Exposure to PMO reporting practices or financial dashboarding tools.
• Prior experience in a nonprofit, government contracting, or professional services environment.
• Experience supporting federal health agency contracts (e.g., HHS, CMS, ONC) is a plus.
