We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (8)
The role is a people-management position (directly manages interns and project leads, with hiring/coaching/performance responsibilities), making 11-3021 the primary SOC. However, the day-to-day work is heavily program-management-focused rather than classic IT department management, so 15-1299 is noted as a plausible runner-up.
The title carries no explicit seniority level word ('Manager' here denotes a people-management function, not a career band), so the title states no level. The 5-year minimum and direct-report scope support a Senior band.
Agile experience and certifications are described as 'strongly preferred' — placed in the preferred bucket accordingly.
Lean/Six Sigma and PMP/CAPM/CSM certifications are explicitly called 'a plus' in the qualifications section.
A Bachelor's degree is hard-required; a degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field is only preferred, so the minimum degree gate is set to Bachelors.
The role is hybrid (not fully remote) at the Fort Collins, CO office.
Compensation is stated as a base salary range of $135,000–$170,000/year, with additional variable incentive (profit sharing) and a possible sign-on bonus.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Technical Program Management, AI/ML program delivery, People management.
