• Develop and maintain pricing and unit-economics models by vehicle type, including revenue and cost per hour, mile, vehicle, and other relevant operating drivers.
• Conduct post-award analysis of major RFPs and contracts, comparing actual operating and financial performance against original RFP/pricing models and identifying underlying causes of variances.
• Use post-award results to continuously improve pricing assumptions and future financial models, creating a feedback loop between bid economics and actual performance.
• Develop and maintain financial models supporting capital investments, fleet acquisitions and replacements, financing alternatives, and other strategic decisions.
• Partner with Accounting to ensure financial results are accurately reflected and translated into meaningful management reporting.
• Maintain and upload budgets and forecasts within the organization’s ERP and financial reporting systems.

• Demonstrated experience with budgeting, forecasting, management reporting, variance analysis, and financial modeling.
• Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills.
• Strong analytical ability with demonstrated experience identifying and quantifying operational drivers behind financial results (not just reporting variances).

• Experience working with ERP and financial reporting systems.
• Strong communication skills and ability to present financial information clearly to both financial and non-financial management.
