• Support fact-finding and negotiation activities with government customers and subcontractors.
• Analyze pricing trends, competitor data, and historical results to improve competitiveness and margin performance.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, Economics, or related field.
