Why we read it this way (8)
This role is titled 'Senior Director' but its actual scope — owning SCIEX's global multi-year AI transformation agenda, chairing an executive AI Steering Committee, reporting to a VP, and building an enterprise operating model — is org-wide strategic authority well above a typical Senior band. It is classified as Principal accordingly.
SOC classification is a judgement call: the role is primarily a senior technology leadership/management position (11-3021), but it has a strong individual-contributor strategy and hands-on deployment dimension that could also fit 15-1299. 11-3021 was chosen because the JD explicitly describes building and leading a team, owning governance forums, and managing executive stakeholders as primary accountabilities.
The skills list is unusually sparse for a technology role because the JD is almost entirely framed around leadership, strategy, and methodology rather than named tools or platforms. 'AI strategy', 'enterprise AI deployment', 'program/portfolio governance', 'Lean/DBS', 'change management', and 'AI vendor management' are listed as required because they appear in the hard-requirements block with firm language. Generative AI, machine learning, intelligent automation, and cloud AI platforms appear only under the 'It would be a plus' section.
No overall years-of-experience floor is stated in the JD; the requirements are framed around demonstrated experience with specific activities rather than a minimum year count.
The Bachelor's degree requirement is a hard gate per the 'essential requirements' section. An advanced degree is listed only as a 'plus'.
Travel up to 50% (domestic and international) is a hard requirement per the posting.
Ignored 5 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AI strategy, program/portfolio governance, change management, AI vendor management, intelligent automation.
