This role centers on protecting advanced technology acquisition programs across their full lifecycle, primarily within Air Force special access and collateral programs. Day-to-day work involves analyzing critical program information and vulnerabilities, developing program protection plans, managing DD Form 254 contract security requirements, and producing OPSEC and counterintelligence assessments. It suits an experienced information security professional with a background in SAP environments and government acquisition security processes.

We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (9)
Work location is not specified in the posting; the Air Force acquisition/SAP context and the #AirforceSAPOpportunities tag suggest a government facility (likely in the Washington DC area or a major Air Force installation), but no city or state is stated — CBSA left blank.
The clearance requirement is TS/SCI with a CI (Counterintelligence) polygraph explicitly required; classified here as TopSecretSci accordingly.
A Bachelor's degree is listed but the JD explicitly accepts an Associate's + 2 years' experience OR 4 years of equivalent experience in lieu of a degree — degree requirement is therefore None.
The 10+ years of experience requirement is stated at the role level; the 2-year minimum for direct SAP experience is a named sub-requirement captured on the SAP skill.
SFPC and SPSC certifications are listed as experience-credit substitutes, not hard gates — marked as preferred.
Skills like 'Program Protection Planning', 'DD Form 254', 'Security Classification Guides', 'Controlled Unclassified Information', and 'Counterintelligence analysis' are domain-specific process/framework competencies rather than named software tools, but they represent concrete, named professional capabilities central to this role and are retained as skills given the specialized nature of the posting.
SOC confidence is Medium: this role sits at the intersection of information security (15-1212) and a specialized government acquisition/program-protection function that could also fit 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other); 15-1212 is the closer match given the security analysis and risk management focus.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Program Protection Planning, Counterintelligence analysis, Risk management.
Requires a TS/SCI clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
