What this job asks for AI summary
This role centers on building and running AI/ML governance programs within US federal government contexts, requiring a security clearance. Day-to-day work involves setting policies for model development and deployment, maintaining model inventories, monitoring performance, managing bias mitigation frameworks, and leading governance committee activities. It suits someone with deep enterprise-scale AI governance experience and familiarity with regulatory and model risk requirements.

We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (7)
This role is primarily a governance, policy, and risk-management function for AI/ML — it names no specific ML frameworks, programming languages, or data tools. The closest SOC is 15-2051 (Data Scientists) given the AI/ML domain, but 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is a plausible alternative given the policy/governance focus; confidence is Low.
The clearance requirement is stated as a range: 'Active Secret, Top Secret, TS/SCI, or TS/SCI with Polygraph … depending on position.' The highest stated level (TS/SCI) is captured here as the ceiling; actual clearance needed may vary by specific assignment.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree (or an additional 4 years of experience),' meaning equivalent experience is explicitly accepted in lieu of a degree — treated as no hard degree gate.
No specific work location is stated beyond the multi-state compensation disclosure list; the role appears to be tied to federal client sites (likely DC metro area given Accenture Federal Services' footprint) but no single CBSA is confirmed in the posting.
The compensation range ($135,200–$278,500/year) applies only to the listed states and DC; actual pay may differ in other locations.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AI/ML governance frameworks, model risk management.
Requires a TS/SCI 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.
