The responsibilities include but are not limited to:

Program Financial Oversight, Auditing, and Alignment
  • Maintain and regularly update program-level financial and performance documentation by collecting, tracking, and analyzing program performance data, costs, and key milestone dates.
  • Monitor program execution to ensure alignment with approved cost, schedule, and scope baselines.
  • Update and refine projected construction and program cost estimates as new information becomes available from project teams and contractors.
  • Apply program cost and programming models to all planning efforts to validate affordability and alignment with funding constraints.
  • Prepare and evaluate "what-if" analyses and alternative scenarios to support leadership decision-making and proof-of-concept validation.

Contract and Acquisition Financial Support
  • Prepare and support contract documentation across all phases of the acquisition lifecycle, including solicitations, requests for proposals, award documentation, audit requests, price negotiation memoranda, pre-negotiation objectives, and contract modifications.
  • Utilize the Enterprise Acquisition System (EASi) and related tools to complete daily acquisition tasks and improve efficiency and consistency in procurement processes.
  • Assist in the development of acquisition strategies, acquisition plans, and integrated procurement schedules that align with program funding and milestones.
  • Support reviews of statements of services and scopes of work to ensure financial clarity, cost realism, and alignment with program objectives.
  • Assist in the evaluation of bids and fee proposals, including conducting cost and price analysis and supporting negotiations.
  • Coordinate and verify pre-validation of funding to ensure availability and compliance prior to contract actions.
  • Respond to financial and contractual inquiries from legal counsel and other oversight stakeholders.
  • Review contract delivery order and modification packages to ensure accuracy, completeness, and compliance with financial requirements.
  • Track and manage contract fees, reimbursable balances, and Reimbursable Work Authorization (RWA) funding to ensure accurate reporting and fiscal control.

  • Assignments are broadly defined in terms of program objectives and priorities.
  • The employee independently plans and carries out work, exercises judgment in resolving financial issues, and keeps management informed of significant developments.

  • Program level finance experience
  • As a condition of employment, candidate must be able to pass GSA Government Clearance Process.
