About Forterra
At Forterra, we are unleashing autonomy at scale to transform the battlefield. Our mission is to build the foundational platforms that enable an intelligent ecosystem to coordinate, adapt, and execute with speed and precision even in the uncertainty and disruption of modern conflict. In an era marked by rapid technological change and evolving threats, we design for flexibility, survivability, and operational dominance.
Forterra delivers weapons, sensors, and battlefield effects through integrated autonomous networks reaching operational areas faster, safer, and without placing human lives at risk. Our systems operate with distributed control, dynamic routing, and real-time responsiveness, enabling sustained advantage across complex mission environments.

We are seeking a Pricing Operations Manager to join the Growth team. This is a senior, execution-focused role for an experienced government contracting pricing professional who can operate independently: turning pricing requests, deal data, and shifting priorities into clean, customer-ready outputs and a pipeline leadership can trust.

In this role, that means owning the integrity of our pricing and pipeline data — and treating every number that goes in front of a customer or executive as yours to defend.
  • Government Contracting Pricing Fluency - This role demands hands-on experience pricing in the government contracting environment: ROMs, quotes, cost proposals, rate structures, and the FAR/DFARS/OT frameworks that govern them. You should be able to take an ambiguous pricing request, structure it, price it defensibly, and document the assumptions — independently, on the first pass.
  • Structured Thinker in a High-Volume Environment - Pricing requests, deal data, and priorities shift weekly. We need someone who can distill m
