Cost Volume Lead

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract content: Company intro: "Quantum Space is redefining mobility and maneuverability in space. Our high-mobility spacecraft platforms support national security, civil, and commercial missions with unmatched flexibility and propulsion capability. We build fast and iterate quickly." That's about company, maybe "About the role"? Actually "Who We’re Looking For" then description. We need sections: maybe "About the role" (summary), "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". We need to see what content fits. From posting: - "Who We’re Looking For We are seeking an experienced and strategic Cost Volume Lead to drive proposal pricing strategy and cost volume development across national security, civil, and commercial space pursuits. In this role, you will lead all aspects of proposal pricing, cost strategy development, Basis of Estimate (BOE) creation, subcontractor pricing coordination, and cost volume preparation while collaborating closely with capture, finance, contracts, engineering, and executive leadership teams. You will play a critical role in helping Quantum Space win complex and highly competitive opportunities by developing compliant, compelling, and competitive pricing solutions that align customer requirements, business objectives, and mission success. This position is ideal for a pricing professional who combines deep federal acquisition expertise with strong analytical, financial, and cross-functional leadership skills." That's a description of role; could go under "About the role". Then "Where You’ll Make an Impact" bullet list of responsibilities. Those are responsibilities. Then "What It Takes" includes education, experience, etc. That's qualifications/requirements. Then "Nice-to-Have Experience" could be additional qualifications or preferred skills. Then "What You’ll Get" includes ownership, innovation, impact, growth, compensation, location, base salary range, equity, benefits. That's benefits and pay. Then "Additional Requirements" includes citizenship requirement. We need to map to sections. We should not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. We need to decide which sections to include: - About the role: we have description. - Responsibilities: list from "Where You’ll Make an Impact". Those are bullet points. - Requirements: maybe "What It Takes" includes mandatory requirements: Bachelor's degree, 10+ years experience, etc. - Qualifications: could overlap with Requirements; maybe we can combine? But we need separate sections only if content distinct. Could treat "What It Takes" as Requirements, and "Nice-to-Have Experience" as Qualifications (preferred). Or we could have "Qualifications" for mandatory and "Preferred Qualifications" for nice-to-have. But headings limited to given list: Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use Qualifications for mandatory, Skills for nice-to-have? Or Skills for technical skills. Let's see. We have "Strong financial modeling, cost estimating, analytical, and business case development skills" etc. Those are skills. We could put skills under Skills section. We have "Nice-to-Have Experience" includes experience with specific agencies, aerospace, EVM, etc. Those could be qualifications (preferred). Could put under Qualifications as well but we already have Requirements. Better: Use Requirements for mandatory (education, years experience, core competencies). Use Qualifications for preferred/nice-to-have. Use Skills for specific skill sets (financial modeling, etc.) but those are also in requirements. Might be overlapping. Given instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine. Let's propose sections: - About the role (description) - Responsibilities (list) - Requirements (education, experience, core competencies) - Qualifications (nice-to-have experience) - Benefits (what you get: ownership, innovation, impact, growth, compensation details, benefits) - Pay (base salary range, equity) - Schedule? Not mentioned; no schedule info. So we should not include Schedule. We must not include sections with filler. So we skip Schedule. Now we need to format. We need

for each section heading. Inside each section, we need

for prose,

• for lists. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We must not repeat job title. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. We need to include location? It's in What You’ll Get: "Location: Rockville, MD or Hawthorne, CA". That's substantive; include under Benefits or maybe separate but we have Benefits section. We need to include base salary range: "$110,000 to $150,000". Also mention equity, benefits. We need to include "Additional Requirements" citizenship requirement. We need to include "Highly competitive equity grants are included..." etc. We need to include "The salary range for this role is an estimate..." etc. We need to include "Apply now. Join us in building the next generation of spacecraft." That's application instruction; we must remove application instructions per rule. So we should drop that line. Also "Apply now." is instruction; remove. Now let's extract details precisely. Company intro paragraph: "Quantum Space is redefining mobility and maneuverability in space. Our high-mobility spacecraft platforms support national security, civil, and commercial missions with unmatched flexibility and propulsion capability. We build fast and iterate quickly." We could include that under About the role? Might be better as part of About the role description. But About the role heading expects description of role. Could combine company intro with role description. Let's craft About the role paragraph: combine company intro and Who We’re Looking For description. But we must not invent; we can just use the given sentences. We'll create a

  containing: "Quantum Space is redefining mobility and maneuverability in space. Our high-mobility spacecraft platforms support national security, civil, and commercial missions with unmatched flexibility and propulsion capability. We build fast and iterate quickly. We are seeking an experienced and strategic Cost Volume Lead to drive proposal pricing strategy and cost volume development across national security, civil, and commercial space pursuits. In this role, you will lead all aspects of proposal pricing, cost strategy development, Basis of Estimate (BOE) creation, subcontractor pricing coordination, and cost volume preparation while collaborating closely with capture, finance, contracts, engineering, and executive leadership teams. You will play a critical role in helping Quantum Space win complex and highly competitive opportunities by developing compliant, compelling, and competitive pricing solutions that align customer requirements, business objectives, and mission success. This position is ideal for a pricing professional who combines deep federal acquisition expertise with strong analytical, financial, and cross-functional leadership skills." That's all from posting. Now Responsibilities: list from "Where You’ll Make an Impact". Let's capture each bullet: - Lead proposal pricing strategy development and cost volume execution across federal, defense, intelligence, civil, and commercial pursuits - Develop Basis of Estimate (BOE) documentation and supporting cost rationale for labor, material, subcontractor, and indirect cost elements - Coordinate subcontractor pricing activities, evaluate cost proposals, and ensure integration into overall pricing strategies - Create compliant, compelling, and defensible cost volumes and pricing narratives aligned with solicitation requirements - Perform competitive pricing assessments, affordability analyses, and market research to inform bid strategies - Develop and maintain pricing models, cost tools, templates, and estimation methodologies - Collaborate with capture managers, proposal managers, engineers, program managers, contracts professionals, and finance teams to align pricing with overall pursuit strategy - Support proposal reviews, customer discussions, negotiations, audits, fact-finding activities, and pricing inquiries - Ensure compliance with solicitation instructions, FAR/DFARS requirements, and applicable government pricing regulations - Evaluate cost realism, execution risk, profitability objectives, and pricing competitiveness throughout the proposal lifecycle - Support multiple concurrent proposal efforts in a dynamic, fast-paced environment - Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen pricing processes, tools, and organizational capabilities We need to preserve all; no summarizing.

Now Qualifications (nice-to-have): from "Nice-to-Have Experience": - Experience supporting U.S. Space Force, Space Systems Command (SSC), Space Development Agency (SDA), AFRL, NASA, NRO, OSD, or other federal space and defense customers - Experience pricing aerospace, defense, intelligence, or space-related programs - Familiarity with Earned Value Management (EVM), program finance, and cost analysis methodologies - Experience supporting strategic captures, competitive assessments, and bid/no-bid decisions - Knowledge of FAR, DFARS, Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), and government contracting regulations - Experience supporting proposal efforts involving advanced technology development, spacecraft, launch, or defense systems - Experience developing and implementing pricing tools, templates, and process improvements - MBA, CPA, CFA, or other relevant professional certifications Now Benefits: from "What You’ll Get" plus location and compensation details. We need to capture: - Ownership – Lead pricing strategy and cost volume development for mission-critical opportunities that directly impact company growth - Innovation – Support transformative aerospace and defense programs enabling next-generation space mobility and operations - Impact – Help shape winning proposals that deliver critical capabilities to national security, civil, and commercial customers - Growth – Join a collaborative team operating at the intersection of strategy, business development, finance, and space technology - Compensation – Competitive salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, generous leave, HSA, 401(k) matching, and equity sharing - Location: Rockville, MD or Hawthorne, CA - Base Salary: $110,000 to $150,000 - The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. - Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers; and are considered part of Quantum Space's total compensation package. We should keep all that. Now Additional Requirements: citizenship requirement: - To comply with U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including ITAR, applicants must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, protected individual per 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State. We could include that under Requirements or a separate section like "Additional Requirements". But we only have headings list; we could put under Requirements as an extra bullet, or maybe under Qualifications. Since it's a requirement, we can add to Requirements. But we must not invent sections; we can add to Requirements. Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present. Now we need to output HTML fragment only. We'll structure:
