Why we read it this way (7)
The title carries no seniority level word, so the title states no level; however, the role's scope (6–10 direct reports, program ownership, org-wide strategy) firmly supports Senior on the career ladder.
The bachelor's degree requirement is stated as 'or equivalent degree … or equivalent degree in a field of study related to the job,' which accepts equivalent experience — the degree requirement is therefore None.
2+ years of leadership experience is listed under Preferred Qualifications, so it is treated as preferred rather than a hard gate; the years figure is preserved on that skill.
The posting names no specific tooling stack (e.g. SIEM, EDR, SOAR platforms) beyond conceptual capabilities (threat hunting, detection engineering, AI/automation). Skills are therefore captured at the capability level rather than as named products.
The alternative occupation code 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is noted as a runner-up because the role has deep hands-on cybersecurity content, but the explicit 6–10 direct reports and program leadership framing make 11-3021 the primary classification.
Ignored 4 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): detection engineering, TTP analysis, AI/ML automation, people management.
