Why we read it this way (5)
No specific work location is stated in the posting; the role is described as US-based with up to 40% travel. No CBSA could be determined.
The 'What You Must Have' section gates only on a Bachelor's degree and 8+ years of experience — no specific technologies are hard-required. All named technologies (Azure Active Directory, CyberArk, IAM, PAM, RBAC, Identity Governance) appear exclusively under 'What Sets You Apart', which is a differentiating/preferred section.
The Director title maps to a Principal-level advertised seniority, but the actual requirements (8+ years, no org-wide technical authority described beyond a single practice) are consistent with a Senior band. The role has significant people-management and business-development responsibilities, making 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers) a plausible alternative SOC; however, the primary day-to-day work is framed around cybersecurity strategy and IAM design, favouring 15-1212.
The extremely wide compensation range ($155,000–$410,000) reflects PwC's practice of posting a single range across all US geographies and seniority levels within the Director grade.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Identity Governance.
