Why we read it this way (6)
This role is posted with three required locations: Charlotte, NC; San Francisco, CA; and Irving, TX. The CBSA reported is Charlotte (the first listed); the role is hybrid, not remote.
The title 'Director' and the scope — owning a broad analytics portfolio, leading multiple teams of managers, setting multi-year strategy, and influencing senior executives — clearly place this in people-management territory (11-3021). The alt SOC 15-2051 (Data Scientists) is noted because the required qualifications gate on 10+ years of data science experience and a quantitative Master's degree, reflecting a deep IC background expected of the incumbent.
The Master's degree requirement is a hard gate: the JD states 'Master's degree or higher in a quantitative discipline' under Required Qualifications.
The 4+ years of management/leadership experience is a hard gate stated in Required Qualifications, but it is a role-level requirement rather than a named technology, so it is captured in the overall years minimum context rather than as a skill.
The JD names very few concrete named technologies — the role is primarily strategic and organizational. Skills listed under Desired Qualifications (experimentation, time-series analysis, digital analytics, platform modernization, governance) are marked preferred accordingly. No specific tools, platforms, or languages are named anywhere in the posting.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): time-series analysis, analytics governance, self-service BI / dashboards.
