What this job asks for AI summary
A mid-level IAM role focused on managing the full lifecycle of user accounts — provisioning, access changes, and deprovisioning — across directories and enterprise applications in a federal IT environment. Day-to-day work involves enforcing least-privilege controls, conducting access reviews, configuring authentication mechanisms, and maintaining documentation to support audits and DoD 8140 compliance. Suits an experienced IAM practitioner holding an active Secret clearance.

Why we read it this way (7)
The role title 'Journeyman' is a federal/DoD seniority label roughly equivalent to mid-level; the 4–6 years required and scope (no org-wide authority, no people management) support a Mid classification.
SOC classification is a close call: the role's primary work is IAM analysis, access governance, audit support, and security policy enforcement (15-1212), but it also involves substantial directory and account administration (15-1244). 15-1212 was chosen because the dominant focus is security compliance, access certification, and incident investigation rather than pure systems administration.
No work location is specified in the posting; the role supports federal/DoD systems and likely requires on-site presence given the Secret clearance requirement, but remote status cannot be confirmed.
A Bachelor's degree is listed as required but explicitly accepts 'equivalent experience,' so no formal degree is treated as a hard gate.
SailPoint, Okta, and Azure AD are listed together as examples under Preferred Qualifications; SailPoint is used as the primary skill name with the others captured as alternatives since they are interchangeable IAM governance platforms in this context.
DoD 8140-recognized certifications (Security+, CISSP, CAP, CISM) appear under Preferred Qualifications and are listed as alternatives to one another.
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.
