Why we read it this way (7)
The preferred location is Mounds View, MN (Minneapolis metro), but the role may also be performed fully remote within the US or onsite at one of several other US Medtronic facilities — remote=true reflects that flexibility.
The MUST HAVE section states only years-of-experience and degree thresholds, plus 5+ years of managerial experience; no specific named technologies are hard-gated. All named technologies and frameworks (NIST 800-82, IEC 62443, certifications, etc.) appear exclusively under the NICE TO HAVE / Preferred Qualifications or the narrative Skills section.
OT cybersecurity is treated as a required capability given the role's explicit title and core accountability, even though no single named tool is hard-gated in the Minimum Qualifications block.
The minimum total experience requirement is 7 years with a bachelor's degree (or 5 years with an advanced degree); the preferred threshold is 10 years. The lower bound (7) is used for the overall years minimum.
The role has direct reports, budget ownership, hiring authority, and talent management responsibilities — it is a people-management role appropriately classified under 11-3021. 15-1212 is noted as a runner-up given the deep security-analysis content.
The title 'Sr. Manager' maps to Senior seniority; the scope (single business area, not org-wide) does not support Staff or Principal despite the 10-year preferred experience.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): risk management.
