This could also be SOC 2432 (Marketing and commercial managers, Product marketing focus on market research, pricing, and launch activities) or SOC 2440 (Business and financial project management professionals, Roadmap, requirements decomposition, and project lifecycle responsibilities). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
