We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (6)
The role is classified as Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211) because the primary day-to-day work is translating client business processes into functional and technical designs within an ERP platform (IFS Cloud), conducting fit-gap analysis, and advising enterprise architects — classic systems analysis work. 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up given the specialized ERP solution architect framing.
The posting lists salary ranges across more than a dozen states with no single primary location specified. The Illinois range ($87,400–$194,100) is used as a representative figure; actual compensation will vary significantly by location.
The 8-year minimum experience requirement is tied to IFS advisory/consulting work specifically; a separate 5-year consulting/advisory requirement and a 3-year cross-pillar IFS requirement are also stated — the 8-year figure is used as the overall years minimum as it is the broadest role-level gate.
A Bachelor's degree is listed but the posting explicitly accepts 12 years of equivalent work experience in lieu of it, so no minimum degree is flagged as hard-required.
Travel is described as potentially 0–100% depending on client need; the role is not remote.
IFS upgrade/migration experience, BI tool integration, industry compliance standards (OSHA/ISO 45001, NFPA, ASME, API), and integration with PLM/MES/CRM/IoT are all listed under 'Bonus points if' and are treated as preferred.
