Why we read it this way (6)
The posting lists two distinct experience tiers: a minimum gate of 7+ years of technical pre-sales or consulting (or equivalent with a relevant degree), and a separate '15+ years' block that appears under what reads as preferred/ideal qualifications alongside Copilot Studio, Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and Dataverse. The 15-year figure is treated as aspirational rather than a hard minimum; 7 years is used as the overall years minimum.
No work location or metro area is specified. The posting explicitly states the role is not eligible for visa sponsorship and requires existing US work authorization, confirming a US-based position.
The role blends pre-sales, enterprise architecture, and strategic consulting — it sits between Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211) and a broader technical consulting/architecture occupation. 15-1211 was chosen as the closest fit given the emphasis on requirements capture, solution architecture, and customer-facing advisory work.
AI solution design is listed as a preferred/expertise area rather than a named technology gate; it is included as preferred since no specific AI tool beyond Azure services is named.
Certification in relevant technologies is mentioned as desirable but no specific certification is named, so it is omitted from the skills list.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AI solution design.
