Why we read it this way (7)
No work location is specified in the posting; CBSA and state fields are left blank. The role's USMC/DoD context strongly implies an on-site or government-facility position, so remote=false is assumed.
The 4–8 years of experience figure appears under 'Preferred Qualifications', not the minimum requirements section; however, it is the only experience range stated, so 4 years is used as the overall years minimum as the lower bound of that range.
Active Secret clearance is listed under Preferred Qualifications, but given the DoD/USMC context and the sensitivity of the work described, this is a practical gate for the role.
DoD 8140/8570.01-M IAM Level II or III certifications (CISSP, CISM, CAP/CGRC) and CSSP Auditor/Manager are listed under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly.
The posting title carries no explicit seniority label; however, the scope (enterprise-level RMF leadership, expert-level POA&M management, strategic direction of cyber directives) supports a Senior classification.
Ignored 5 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AI/ML risk assessment, POA&M management, NIST SP 800-53, NIST SP 800-161, NIST SP 800-162.
Requires a Secret clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
