Why we read it this way (6)
This role sits at the boundary between 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) and 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers). The title is 'Director' with explicit people-management, budget/vendor governance, and executive reporting duties, which would normally point to 11-3021. However, the primary day-to-day work described — threat detection, incident response, exposure management, SOC/CIRT oversight — is squarely security analysis and operations, so 15-1212 was chosen as primary with 11-3021 as the runner-up.
The advertised title carries no seniority level word ('Director' is a functional title, not a band label in the Junior–Principal ladder), so the title states no level. The actual scope and 10+ years requirement support a Senior classification.
NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and NIS2 are listed together as interchangeable framework examples under the Technical Expertise section; they are captured as a single skill with alternatives.
CISSP, CISM, and GIAC certifications are explicitly marked 'preferred' in the posting and are therefore not hard gates.
MDR and CTEM appear in the responsibilities narrative rather than a formal requirements block and are marked preferred accordingly.
No compensation range is stated in the posting.
