Why we read it this way (6)
The job title says 'Cyber Security Project Manager' but the required skills and described responsibilities are squarely those of a hands-on Information Security Analyst/Engineer (vulnerability scanning, A&A, SSPs, risk assessments) with no explicit people-management or budget-ownership duties; classified accordingly as 15-1212.
An active TS/SCI with polygraph is explicitly required ('CANDIDATES MUST HAVE AN ACTIVE TS/SCI w/ Poly').
No minimum years of experience are specified at the role level; the posting uses 'demonstrated experience' language throughout without attaching year counts.
The salary range ($128,000–$270,000/year) is unusually wide, likely reflecting the cleared-contractor market and varying levels of seniority the sponsor may accept.
'Integrated master schedules' and 'offensive cyber security practices' appear only under the 'Highly Desired Skills' section and are marked preferred accordingly.
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.
