The role is posted across many US states with no single primary location; the salary range varies widely by state ($54,400–$205,800/year). The Illinois range ($59,100–$177,800) is used as a representative anchor, but the role is effectively multi-location.
Up to 80% travel is required — this is a client-facing consulting role, not a remote or office-bound position.
The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends data science (ML/AI model building) with consulting/systems analysis (business case development, stakeholder engagement, transformation roadmaps). 15-2051 Data Scientists was chosen because hands-on model development and AI solution design are the primary technical deliverables; 15-1211 Computer Systems Analysts is the runner-up given the heavy consulting and workflow-redesign framing.
