Why we read it this way (9)
The JD states 'Master's degree … or equivalent relevant experience may be considered,' so no hard degree gate exists — the degree requirement is set to None.
Cybersecurity tools (Splunk, Sentinel, Tenable, Qualys, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto, ServiceNow GRC/IRM, Security Hub, Microsoft Defender for Cloud) are listed under 'Familiarity with … or similar platforms' in the requirements section, but the phrasing 'familiarity with' and the open-ended 'or similar' signal these are contextual/preferred rather than hard gates.
Zero Trust, DevSecOps, SIEM/SOAR, security automation, and RMF/ATO experience are explicitly called out as 'preferred' in a dedicated preferred-experience sentence.
AI-enabled cybersecurity and machine learning-based detection are flagged as 'a plus,' confirming preferred status.
The certification requirement (CISSP, GIAC, ISC2, or equivalent) is stated as a hard requirement ('Possession of at least one relevant certification such as…'); CISSP is used as the primary name with alternatives listed.
The title 'Cybersecurity SME' carries no explicit seniority level word, so the title states no level; the 10+ years requirement and senior-advisor scope support a Senior classification.
The posting is listed via Jobgether on behalf of an unnamed partner company; the hiring employer and final process are managed externally.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): cybersecurity architecture, risk management.
