Job Overview
The Director, Price to Win (PTW) is responsible for developing independent, data-driven Price-to-Win assessments that inform capture strategy for large and complex Government pursuits. The role focuses on market intelligence, customer affordability, competitor behavior, historical award analysis, and quantitative modeling to establish recommended competitive price ranges and strategic trade-space for executive and pursuit-team decision making.
The ideal candidate will have extensive experience supporting large-scale Base Operations, Facilities Services, or similarly complex Government services pursuits and will be able to translate fragmented market, customer, competitor, and cost information into actionable recommendations for senior leadership.
The Director, Price to Win will report to the Chief Financial Officer or other designated executive leader and will have an independent advisory voice in collaboration with Business Development, Capture, Proposal, Pricing/Estimating, Finance, and Operations on large and complex Government pursuits.
Responsibilities
Essential Job Duties:
- Lead independent Price-to-Win analyses for priority pursuits, beginning during pipeline development and early capture and continuing through proposal strategy as appropriate.
- Collect, validate, and analyze competitive intelligence regarding customers, incumbents, likely competitors, market conditions, acquisition strategies, procurement histories, and award patterns.
- Assess customer affordability, available funding, budget trends, historical spend, procurement behavior, and other indicators to develop defensible target-price ranges.
- Develop competitor-specific pricing hypotheses and models using publicly available information, historical awards, labor-market data, contract structures, known business practices, and other relevant intelligence.
- Perform should-price and price-sensitivity analyses to identify the range in which a proposed solution is likely to remain both competitive and financially viable.
- Use quantitative methods, including scenario analysis, probability distributions, Monte Carlo simulation, and other analytical techniques, where appropriate, to evaluate uncertainty and competitive price ranges.
- Identify and communicate the primary cost and price drivers that are most likely to influence customer evaluation, competitor behavior, and overall win probability.
- Analyze RFP pricing structures and Government evaluation methodologies to understand how price is likely to be evaluated and where competitive differentiation may exist.
- Partner with Business Development, Capture, Operations, Solutioning, Pricing/Estimating, Contracts, and Finance to understand the proposed solution and test its competitive positioning.
- Review cost estimates and pricing scenarios developed by the Pricing/Estimating function as inputs to PTW analysis; assess how those outputs compare with independent market and competitor intelligence.
- Develop executive-level PTW briefings that clearly communicate assumptions, confidence levels, competitive risks, price ranges, tradeoffs, and recommended actions.
- Provide an independent strategic recommendation to capture and executive leadership regarding the price position most likely to support the company's win strategy while maintaining appropriate business objectives.
- Support competitive assessments, black-hat reviews, capture reviews, and other pursuit strategy sessions by providing fact-based competitor and pricing intelligence.
- Build and maintain reusable competitive-intelligence resources, historical award data, market benchmarks, and PTW analytical tools to improve future pursuit decisions.
- Document key assumptions, sources, methodologies, and limitations supporting PTW recommendations to enable repeatability, transparency, and lessons learned.
- Conduct post-award analyses comparing PTW assumptions and recommendations with actual award outcomes and competitor information, where available, and refine methodologies accordingly.
- Provide guidance and thought leadership on PTW methodology, competitive analysis, and market-intelligence practices across the organization.
- Perform additional duties consistent with the strategic PTW and competitive-intelligence function as required.
