WHAT YOU’LL DO:
- Own program financial performance for a portfolio of government contracts; drive predictable outcomes from award through execution and closeout.
- Lead EAC and forecast governance: set standards, build/maintain EACs, drive variance/root-cause analysis, and manage risk/opportunity tracking with mitigation actions.
- Partner deeply with Program Management and Contracts on CLIN structure, funding, burn, billing/invoicing, contract modifications, and required program financial reporting.
- Lead monthly FP&A forecasting process with a focus on understanding program changes that drive financial changes.
- Drive production and unit-economics insights: margin and COGS analysis, inventory and working-capital impacts, production variances, and cost-reduction opportunities with Ops/Supply Chain.
- Own planning deliverables (AOP/LRP) for your portfolio: consolidate bottoms-up program outlooks (revenue, cost, margin, working capital) and align to leadership commitments.
- Operate performance management (EVM where applicable): support baseline management and interpret key variances (CV/SV/CPI/SPI); prepare content for internal/external reviews and audits.
