Why we read it this way (8)
No work location or metro area is specified in the posting. DXC Technology is a global firm; the role may be remote or based at any DXC office. The posting references US-specific EEO language, suggesting a US-based position, but no city or state is named.
The role is a hybrid of technology strategy, vendor/commercial management, and people leadership (leading a small team of analysts and architects). It sits closest to Computer and Information Systems Managers (11-3021) given the direct-report responsibility, CTO-reporting structure, and budget/governance ownership. The runner-up is 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) given the heavy FinOps/portfolio-optimization focus that doesn't map cleanly to a standard manager role.
Cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP) are listed together under 'Strong understanding of' in the Required Qualifications section. They are treated as a family of interchangeable alternatives for the cloud platform requirement rather than three independent hard gates.
The posting states 'MBA or Master's degree preferred,' so the advanced degree is not a hard requirement. The minimum hard-required degree is a Bachelor's.
FinOps frameworks and cloud cost optimization appear only under Preferred Qualifications, as does software asset management — both are marked preferred accordingly.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
The posting's in-person collaboration language ('prioritizes in-person collaboration') indicates this is not a fully remote role.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): TCO analysis, software asset management.
