About the role

Pricing-focused role supporting Anduril's Product Line leadership to execute financial analyses, pricing models, and proposal cost volumes; accountable for corporate pricing operations, while supporting individual business divisions on strategic pursuits.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and track strategic proposals from opportunity to award — be a stakeholder in proposal kick-offs and review while ensure progress, compliance, and financial alignment with business objectives.
  • Prepare timely, high-quality, detailed, and compliant cost and price proposals for federal and commercial solicitations — including U.S. DoD and International customers — across RFPs, RFQs, and RFIs.
  • Generate submission-ready cost proposal artifacts, ensuring all cost elements are accounted for, assumptions are documented, and necessary cross-referencing is included.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand technical requirements, basis of estimates, risks, and opportunities, and translate them into compliant cost proposals.
  • Coordinate with contracts and capture and proposal teams on proposal documents and responses to government requests while adhering to deadlines and submission requirements.
  • Develop comprehensive pricing models, templates, and training utilized by business-line pricing teams, and maintain them for internal and external use.
  • When required, analyze statistical and proposal data to develop independent pricing recommendations that support customer negotiations.
  • Conduct risk analysis, what-if scenarios, and cost realism assessments to ensure pricing accuracy and executability.
  • Continually assess and improve estimating processes and tools, leading process-improvement projects as needed.
  • Ensure cost proposals comply with solicitation instructions, government regulations (FAR, DFARS, TINA), and corporate policies for CPFF, T&M, and FFP contracts.
  • Maintain accurate records of pricing templates, proposal files, supporting documentation, and historical data; keep proposal tracking metrics current.
  • Support DCAA and DCMA audit reviews as required, ensuring transparency and adherence to cost estimating policies and procedures.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's Degree in Business, Accounting, Engineering, a mathematical field, or a related discipline.
  • 8+ years of directly related experience in proposal / pricing / cost development, with demonstrated experience developing both government and commercial proposals, and familiarity across CPFF, FFP, and T&M contracts and subcontracts — specifically a strong understanding of how indirect rates and burden costs work in relationship to cost modeling.
  • Demonstrated extensive work experience and full understanding of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and Truth in Negotiations Act (TINA).
  • Demonstrated ability to design, develop, and implement financial analysis tools and processes — such as pricing cost models.
  • Highly proficient in Microsoft Excel (financial modeling, pivot tables, complex formulas); proficient in Word and PowerPoint.
  • Deep hands-on working experience with ProPricer.
  • Self-driven and relentlessly proactive. You don't need someone to tell you to “move” — you just move, and you step into the gap to offer solutions yourself.
  • Comfortable communicating broadly and having many eyes on your work, including comms to large groups and senior leadership.
  • U.S. Person status is required; must be able to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret clearance.
