Why we read it this way (10)
The posting title is 'Manager' but the actual role is an Enterprise Project Manager – Consultant functioning as a Scrum Master; there are no people-management or budget-ownership signals, so 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used rather than 11-3021. Scrum Master is a process-facilitation role that does not map cleanly to any single SOC code; 15-1299 is the best available fit.
Compensation is listed as 'DOE' (Depends on Experience) — no numeric range was provided.
The role is fully onsite in Columbia, SC; candidates must be SC residents or willing to relocate at their own expense prior to start.
Contract duration is 12 months from a projected start date of 8/24/2026, with possibility of extension.
'DB Querying and Programming' is listed as a required skill; interpreted as SQL/database querying experience rather than a specific named database product.
Hybrid project management (Agile + Waterfall) is listed as a required skill; Waterfall is captured separately as a required skill to reflect this.
CSM and PSM certifications are listed under Preferred Skills and Preferred Education/Certifications — treated as preferred.
Government experience is listed under Preferred Skills but names no specific technology or tool, so it is omitted per extraction rules.
ERP experience is listed under Preferred Skills with no specific platform named; captured generically as preferred.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
