Why we read it this way (6)
This role sits at the intersection of AI governance, risk management, and assurance consulting — not a clean fit for any single SOC code. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the best available catch-all; 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is the closest runner-up given the risk/controls/audit focus.
The title 'Senior Associate' is PwC's internal career-ladder label, not a standard seniority descriptor. The hard requirements are only a bachelor's degree and 2+ years of experience, which maps to Mid-level; the advertised title is Senior.
All substantive skills (AI/ML governance, NIST/ISO frameworks, risk governance) appear exclusively under the 'What Sets You Apart' section, which PwC frames as preferred differentiators, not hard gates. No named technologies are listed as required.
The compensation range shown ($72,000–$184,440) is very wide and reflects PwC's national band across multiple locations and levels. Washington state residents have a higher ceiling of $212,000.
No specific work location is stated; the role appears to be a national posting with up to 20% travel required. Remote status is set to false given the client-service and travel context.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AI/ML governance, risk governance.
