Why we read it this way (7)
The posting states two degree/experience combinations: Bachelor's + 14 years OR Master's + 12 years. The minimum overall experience is set to 14 years (the Bachelor's path), and the degree requirement reflects the Bachelor's minimum. A Master's degree would reduce the experience gate to 12 years.
ServiceNow CSA is listed as required and explicitly noted as 'will be verified'; CAD is offered as an alternative in the same requirement line. Both are captured under one skill with CAD as an alternative.
The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily custom application development and configuration on the ServiceNow platform (15-1252), but the heavy ITSM process design and stakeholder requirements work also has characteristics of systems analysis (15-1211).
CIS-ITSM is described as 'strongly preferred' within the Desired section; it is captured as preferred along with the other desired certifications.
ITOM and ITAM modules (Discovery, Service Mapping, Event Management, HAM, SAM) are listed under Preferred/Desired as foundational knowledge for future phases, not current hard requirements.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): ServiceNow Event 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.
