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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Clear communicator who thrives in a collaborative, deadline-driven proposal environment. 

• 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.
