Why we read it this way (8)
The title 'Manager' with direct ownership of a team/function maps to 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers). However, the role is also deeply hands-on — writing ML models, building pipelines, and doing deep-dive analysis — so 15-2051 (Data Scientists) is a credible runner-up.
The 5–8 year experience range is stated as a minimum; the overall years minimum is set to 5 (the lower bound).
A Master's degree is listed as preferred, not required; the hard minimum is a Bachelor's degree.
The posting states candidates must be able to obtain federally mandated security clearances to work at an airport. This is framed as a background/access requirement for the work site (JFK airport), not a US government information security clearance — so the clearance requirement is set to None. Hiring managers should be aware this on-site access requirement exists.
Azure services (Fabric, Azure SQL, Synapse, Data Factory) are listed under Skills but explicitly marked 'preferred,' so they are captured as preferred.
Aviation industry experience is explicitly called out as preferred, but it names no specific technology or tool and is therefore not captured as a skill per extraction rules.
The posting is associated with JFKIAT, an airport terminal operator at JFK International Airport, placing the role in the New York metro CBSA.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): data governance, predictive modeling.
