The posting

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

  • Own end-to-end pricing for proposals, from solicitation review and strategy through final cost volume submission.
  • Build and maintain audit-ready Excel models including labor, indirects, escalation, fee, and subcontractors that are clear, accurate, and easy to defend.
  • Apply and interpret cost principles and requirements such as FAR Part 31, 2 CFR 200, and agency guidance to ensure compliant, responsive pricing.
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to translate staffing and level of effort into budgets, validate rates and assumptions, and integrate subcontractor proposals and required flowdowns.
  • Support cost narratives and final proposal reviews, checking for cost realism, consistency with the technical approach, and mathematical accuracy.
  • Help strengthen pricing templates, tools, and processes, and provide support for audits, negotiations, and post-award analysis.
  • Contribute to select FP&A activities, including supporting budget-to-actual variance analysis and providing pricing data to inform internal financial planning discussions.

What You'll Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, business, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of hands-on pricing experience for federal and/or state government contracts.
  • Advanced Excel skills and comfort building complex, multi-variable pricing models.
  • Working knowledge of FAR Part 31 and 2 CFR 200, including experience across contract types (cost-reimbursable, T&M, fixed price).
  • Clear communicator who thrives in a collaborative, deadline-driven proposal environment.

Even Better if You Bring

  • Pricing experience for health-focused programs (e.g., HHS/CMS/CDC/NIH/HRSA; Medicaid/public health).
  • Familiarity with GSA Schedules and contract vehicles such as IDIQs/GWACs.
  • Experience supporting audits and indirect rate activities (e.g., DCAA) and/or competitive price-to-win work.
  • Familiarity with tools such as GovWin IQ, Salesforce, SharePoint, Power BI, and/or Deltek Costpoint.
  • Some exposure to FP&A concepts or processes, such as budget development, variance reporting, or financial forecasting.

How You'll Succeed

  • Bring strong analytical judgment and sweat the details, especially in complex, multi-variable models.
  • Collaborate effectively across teams, translating technical inputs into clear, defensible pricing.
  • Manage multiple deadlines, prioritize quickly, and keep quality high under pressure.
  • Stay curious and continuously build knowledge of procurement trends, regulations, and better ways to streamline pricing work.

Where You'll Work

  • If you’re near one of our offices (Silver Spring, MD; or Novi, MI), you’ll join us in person one day every other month (6 times per year) for a fun, purpose-driven Collaboration Day. These days are filled with creative energy, meaningful connection, and team brainstorming.
  • Non-local employees will join these days virtually and may be asked to join us occasionally in-person.

Work Eligibility & Requirements

  • 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.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
