Responsibilities

• Own the company’s program-control function: financial forecasting, labor planning, profitability analysis, program-performance reporting, and government-contract pricing.
• Establish and continuously improve program-control policies, forecasting methodologies, financial models, reporting standards, and business processes that enable effective program execution and informed decision-making.
• Partner with Program Managers to monitor financial performance—revenue, labor, funding, backlog, cost-to-complete, profitability, and forecast accuracy—identify variances, and recommend corrective actions.
• Develop and maintain workforce-planning models, labor forecasts, utilization metrics, and staffing projections to support contract execution, hiring decisions, and corporate growth.
• Coordinate with Contracts, Security, Human Resources, and Program Managers to identify and mitigate financial, staffing, contractual, and operational risks; provide leadership with actionable recommendations.
• Lead pricing support for new business opportunities: labor modeling, indirect-cost application, cost-volume development, profitability analysis, pricing strategy, and proposal financial reviews.
• Develop and maintain standardized tools, dashboards, and analytical models that improve visibility into program performance and enable data-driven decision-making.
• Lead, mentor, and develop Program-Control personnel: workload management, quality assurance, performance feedback, professional development, succession planning, and delegation.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Business Administration, Finance, or a related field; a master’s degree is a plus.
• At least 5–7 years of experience in financial planning and analysis, program control, government-contract pricing, corporate finance, or related financial-management functions within a government-contracting environment.
• Strong understanding of FAR, government-contract pricing principles, indirect-rate structures, cost-accounting concepts, and financial-management practices.
• Demonstrated experience supporting CPFF, CPAF, FFP, T&M, and IDIQ contract types.
• Experience developing cost volumes, pricing models, and labor-rate strategies for competitive federal procurements.
• Experience developing workforce-planning models, utilization metrics, staffing forecasts, and labor-allocation strategies.
