Why we read it this way (8)
The job title is not stated in the posting; the role is framed as a senior analytics leader within Nike's Global Audit and Risk Management (GARM) function — likely a Director or Senior Manager level, but no explicit title or level word appears.
The 10+ years of business/data analytics experience is the highest stated overall requirement and is used as the overall years minimum; the 8+ years figures are sub-requirements within that same experience block.
A Bachelor's degree is listed but the posting explicitly accepts 'any suitable combination of education, experience, and training,' so the degree requirement is set to None.
Audit/risk management experience is described as 'strongly preferred,' not required — listed as preferred accordingly.
AuditBoard is the only specific named tool in the posting; all other skills (data pipelines, BI, AI/ML) are described at a conceptual level without naming specific platforms or technologies.
The SOC code 15-2031 (Operations Research Analysts) is chosen over 15-2051 (Data Scientists) because the role is primarily focused on analytics strategy, risk/audit insights, dashboards, and continuous assurance rather than statistical modeling or machine learning. The alt code 15-2051 is noted given the AI-assisted solutions emphasis.
Location is inferred as Nike's headquarters in Beaverton/Portland, OR based on the company context; no explicit location is stated in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): audit/risk management.
