Why we read it this way (8)
The role title is 'Senior Information Systems Manager' but the day-to-day work is leading federal cybersecurity audits and assessments, making 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) the best primary fit; 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers) is a genuine runner-up given the explicit personnel management and team coordination responsibilities.
No work location or CBSA is specified in the posting; the federal government client context (IRS/Treasury references) suggests a Washington DC-area or remote-US position, but this cannot be confirmed from the text.
The certification requirement is an OR list — at least one of the 16 named certifications (or a two-year IT/cybersecurity program) satisfies the gate. CISSP is listed as the primary name with all alternatives captured.
Degree requirement is effectively None: the JD states 'high school diploma or higher,' which is not a college degree gate.
IRS suitability / staff-like access is required but does not constitute a formal US security clearance under standard definitions; it is not mapped to the clearance requirement.
All preferred qualifications (NIST frameworks, DISA STIGs, Nessus, SCAP, POA&M, multi-platform environment experience, technical writing) appear under an explicit 'Preferred Qualifications' heading.
Several deliverable acronyms in the JD (SCSEMs, PFRs, SRR Section H, CAP/POA&M, AARs) are IRS-specific audit artifacts, not standalone tools or skills, and are not emitted as discrete skill entries.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): federal cybersecurity audits and assessments, security controls implementation, IT/cybersecurity project management.
