• Interpret and implement cost proposal requirements related to estimating, pricing, and documentation; may define estimating parameters.
• Develop and maintain presentation materials for senior leadership, summarizing budget performance and identifying cost/schedule variances across multiple teams or labs.
• Analyze financial data to determine whether programs are meeting established targets; investigate variances and recommend timely corrective actions.
• Collaborate with lab managers and government stakeholders to establish and monitor program baselines, ensuring alignment with financial and operational goals.
• Estimate future budgetary needs and provide input into long-term financial planning.
• Act as a primary point of contact for customers on behalf of Program Managers for all financial matters, ensuring clear communication and timely responsiveness.
