Why we read it this way (9)
This is a senior people-management role (Staff VP) with 8 direct reports and ~75 total FTEs, clearly mapping to 11-3021. The alt SOC 15-1299 is noted only because the role has deep hands-on AI platform strategy content, but people management and org leadership are unambiguously primary.
The posting lists multiple preferred office locations (Indianapolis IN, Atlanta GA, Mason OH, Richmond VA, Norfolk VA, Woodland Hills CA); Indianapolis is used as the primary CBSA since it is listed first and described as preferred. The role is hybrid (3 days/week in-office), not fully remote.
The salary range of $206,000–$370,800 is explicitly stated for California and Virginia locations; the actual range for other locations may differ, but this is the only figure provided.
The advertised title is 'Staff Vice President (VP)' — 'Staff' here is a corporate title convention (Staff VP), not the engineering Staff band. Given org-wide scope (enterprise-level AI strategy, 75 FTEs, executive stakeholder management), this is classified as Principal on the seniority ladder.
The 15-year minimum experience requirement is stated at the role level ('minimum of 15 years of leadership experience in programming environment'), not tied to any specific technology.
The degree requirement is a BA/BS in IT, Computer Science, or related field; however, the JD also accepts 'any combination of education and experience which would provide an equivalent background,' which would normally warrant None — but the phrasing here lists the degree first as the primary path and the equivalency as a fallback, so Bachelors is reported as the stated minimum formal requirement.
Skills such as Agentic AI, MLOps, Conversational AI, and AI orchestration are inferred as hard requirements from the core role description and responsibilities, which define the entire scope of the position. Spark, CRM, and LLMs appear in context/stack narrative and are marked preferred.
No specific programming languages, cloud platforms, or named AI frameworks are hard-gated in the requirements section; the role is primarily strategic and managerial rather than hands-on technical.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AI orchestration.
