We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (9)
This is a C-suite / Head of Department role (reporting to the CEO, with Board engagement and direct reports), which maps clearly to 11-3021 Computer and Information Systems Managers. The alt code 15-2051 Data Scientists is noted because the posting emphasizes deep hands-on AI/ML technical expertise alongside the leadership mandate.
The title carries no explicit seniority level word, so advertised seniority is Unspecified; however, the actual scope — org-wide AI authority, CEO reporting line, Board engagement, budget ownership — supports Principal.
Location is inferred as Denver, CO (Janus Henderson's US headquarters) based on the Colorado salary disclosure law cited in the posting; no city is explicitly named.
The Master's degree requirement is a hard gate as stated under Required Qualifications with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause.
The 10+ years figure is the overall role-level experience requirement; the 5+ years in leadership is a sub-requirement within that gate.
LIME and SHAP are listed as interchangeable explainability technique examples within the AI Ethics & Security required qualifications section.
The posting mentions software development, system architecture, and cybersecurity as required areas of understanding but names no specific tools or platforms for these disciplines — they are omitted from the skills list per the no-generic-concepts rule.
Annual bonus eligibility is noted but not quantified; the $250,000–$300,000 range is base salary only.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AI strategy.
