Why we read it this way (7)
This is primarily a people-management role (50% of responsibilities explicitly devoted to team leadership and people management, with direct reports), making 11-3021 the best fit; 15-2051 is noted as a runner-up given the data science domain.
The minimum qualifications gate on 'demonstrated proficiency in predictive modeling, data mining and data analysis' and people/team management experience — these are the hard gates. All specific tools (BigQuery, SQL, Tableau) and advanced techniques (NLP, optimization, computer vision, etc.) appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
The degree requirement states a bachelor's or equivalent degree; because the JD explicitly offers an 'equivalent degree' path, this is treated as a hard Bachelors floor (no substitution language for 'no degree at all').
The 11+ years of business intelligence and analytics experience appears under Preferred Qualifications, while the Minimum Years of Work Experience is stated as 10 — the overall years minimum is set to 10 accordingly.
The compensation range ($140,000–$280,000/year) is unusually wide, which may reflect geographic pay bands or level flexibility within the Sr. Manager tier.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): predictive modeling, data analysis.
