Why we read it this way (8)
The role is a senior ServiceNow practice lead/SME with heavy business development, pre-sales, and delivery oversight responsibilities — it sits between a pure consulting/systems-analyst role (15-1211) and a broader cloud/SaaS consulting occupation (15-1299); 15-1299 was chosen as the primary code given the platform-specialist and practice-building nature of the work.
Clearance is listed as 'Ability to Obtain Secret' in the header (a hard gate per the requirements section), while an active Secret clearance is listed under Nice to Have as preferred.
ServiceNow ITSM, IRM/eGRC, and HRSD are called out explicitly as core platform areas in the What You Will Do section and framed as deep expertise requirements; they are captured as separate required skills reflecting the JD's explicit enumeration.
Agile Scrum or SAFe is listed as required in the What You Will Need section; SAFe is captured as an alternative since either satisfies the requirement. SAFe Agile certification is separately listed under Nice to Have as a preferred credential.
PMP certification appears only under Nice to Have.
The preferred candidate location is Washington DC area; the role requires commuting to client/corporate offices up to 3 days per week and up to 75% travel, so remote=false.
US Citizenship is contractually required but is not a formal security clearance level — noted here as a hard gate that cannot be represented in the clearance field.
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.
