Why we read it this way (8)
The role title in the posting is 'Lead Cybersecurity' (used in the compensation line), but no explicit seniority level appears in the formal job title — advertised seniority is set to Unspecified accordingly.
The degree requirement (Bachelor's or Master's in CS/CE/IS or related field) is explicitly marked 'preferred,' and no equivalent-experience language is used to gate it — treated as not a hard requirement.
Professional certifications (CISA, CRISC, CISSP, CPA, CIA, AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner) are explicitly marked 'preferred' in the qualifications section.
SailPoint, CyberArk, and Delinea appear in the required qualifications block with firm language ('Extensive experience with'), making them hard gates despite being specific named tools.
Active Directory and Azure AD appear in the required qualifications block as examples of IAM platforms the candidate must oversee ('such as SailPoint, CyberArk, Active Directory, Azure AD') — the 'such as' qualifier means the specific tools are interchangeable, but IAM platform experience itself is a hard gate; AD and Azure AD are captured as named skills given their explicit mention.
AI/ML in cybersecurity is framed with 'Familiarity with' language, placing it as a preferred/nice-to-have skill.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends information security analysis (15-1212) with GRC/audit/compliance advisory work that could also fit 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other), as there is no single clean SOC for a SOX IT compliance/IAM governance specialist.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): SOX IT General Controls (ITGCs), AI/ML in cybersecurity.
