Eligibility/Clearance: Candidate must possess an active TS/SCI clearance

Job Description:

Our client is seeking a senior Cyber Manpower and Workforce Analysis

Subject Matter Expert to support the Department of Defense Cyber Defense

Command. The six-month engagement will establish an independent,

defensible baseline for the workforce required to execute the command's

mission. You will help catalog missions, functions, and tasks; identify

workload drivers; build workload-to-FTE estimates; assess current and

future manpower gaps; and recommend the appropriate military, civilian,

and contractor mix. You will work with command leaders, J-Directorate

personnel, cyber mission specialists, manpower and personnel staff, and

data owners to separate current mission demand from legacy

organizational assumptions. Ideal candidates combine DoD

manpower-analysis experience, quantitative workforce modeling,

structured interviewing, and the judgment to connect staffing decisions

to operational risk.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop a mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive taxonomy of the

command's missions, functions, and tasks, with clear ownership

boundaries, outputs, dependencies, complexity tiers, authorities, and

completion criteria.

Define workload-driver trees and success measures that connect mission

demand to measurable volume, complexity, service-level, coverage,

compliance, and risk factors.

Document the data source, owner, collection cadence, known quality

issues, and validation method for each key workload driver and

performance measure.

Build a J-Directorate-aligned interview architecture, data inventory,

extraction plan, and mission-function-task-to-role crosswalk that

supports complete and non-duplicative analysis.

Conduct structured, artifact-based interviews using recent incidents,

exercises, patch cycles, recurring reporting, and other representative

work to validate task definitions, workload, constraints, and handoffs.

Organize needs by mission set, characterize required versus authorized

versus on-hand gaps, and express operational consequences through

specific mission-impact statements.

Develop a transparent workload-to-FTE model using demand drivers, time

standards, complexity and variability factors, quality requirements, and

explicit assumptions for 24/7 coverage, relief, surge, and

major-incident conditions.

Forecast workload over three to five years and use scenario and

sensitivity analysis to identify the assumptions that drive the greatest

variance in manpower requirements.

Assess military, civilian, and contractor workforce options using

mission authority, inherently governmental considerations, readiness,

continuity, security, access, retention, and oversight requirements.

Identify critical dependencies and produce decision-ready reports,

executive briefings, an implementation roadmap, and a repeatable

manpower-refresh toolkit.

Required:

Bachelor's degree and eight or more years of relevant Department of

Defense experience in manpower analysis, workforce planning,

organizational analysis, force management, personnel policy, operations

research, or a related field.

Direct experience conducting or supporting a DoD manpower study,

manpower requirements determination, organizational assessment, or

mission-function-task analysis.

Demonstrated ability to translate mission demand into workload drivers,

time standards, coverage factors, and traceable FTE requirements.

Experience modeling persistent or 24/7 operations, including shift

coverage, relief factors, surge posture, variability, and

operational-risk assumptions.

Experience reconciling required, authorized, assigned, and on-hand

staffing and identifying the operational causes and effects of manpower

gaps.

Knowledge of military, civilian, and contractor workforce-mix decisions,

including inherently governmental considerations, continuity, access,

readiness, and oversight trade-offs.

Strong quantitative, facilitation, and executive-writing skills, with

the ability to explain assumptions, uncertainty, and mission impact to

senior leaders.

Active Department of Defense Secret clearance and the ability to satisfy

all customer security, suitability, and installation-access

requirements.

Preferred:

Experience supporting the Department of Defense Cyber Defense Command,

Joint Force Headquarters-Department of Defense Information Network,

Defense Information Systems Agency, U.S. Cyber Command, or a comparable

joint cyber organization.

Working knowledge of DoDIN operations and defense, threat-informed risk

reduction, incident response, adversary response generation, and support

to combatant-command priorities.

Experience with J-Directorate structures, the DoD Cyber Workforce

Framework, cyber work-role families, skill bands, or comparable

workforce taxonomies.

Experience applying DOTmLPF-P analysis, scenario planning, sensitivity

analysis, assumption registers, and options analysis to manpower or

force-design decisions.

Advanced experience building auditable workforce models in Excel or a

comparable quantitative-analysis environment.

Active TS/SCI clearance.

Education:

Bachelors Degree in Computer Science or a related field
