What the occupation pays Median $105,850 (middle half $82,860–$134,110). This posting is about at that midpoint.
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (11)
The role is primarily a senior functional advisory and IV&V (Independent Verification & Validation) position for a Navy ERP modernization program — it sits closest to Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211) given its focus on business process analysis, fit-to-standard workshops, requirements decomposition, and solution oversight rather than hands-on software development or pure IT operations. 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up given the specialized DoD ERP advisory nature.
The 10+ years requirement is the overall role-level gate; the 5+ years of SAP S/4HANA is a named-technology gate and is captured on that skill's years demanded.
SAP Defense & Security (D&S) / DFPS is listed under Preferred Qualifications, so it is marked preferred despite being central to the role's title — the JD explicitly separates it from required qualifications.
Microsoft Office, Teams, SharePoint, Jira, and Confluence appear under 'Additional Requirements' with the word 'Proficiency' — treated as hard gates.
SAP S/4HANA MM, Sourcing & Procurement, EAM/PM, and EWM certifications are listed under 'Desired Certifications' — these are aspirational and not hard gates; SAP EWM and Sourcing & Procurement are captured as preferred skills reflecting that section.
A Master's degree is explicitly stated as preferred, not required; the hard minimum is a Bachelor's degree.
The posting states the position 'can be remote' — marked remote=true.
US Citizenship is required as a condition of the Secret clearance at this location.
Ignored 6 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): SAP Materials Management, SAP Inventory Management, SAP Warehouse Management, SAP Enterprise Asset Management, SAP Logistics Execution, SAP Extended Warehouse Management.
Requires a Secret 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.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
