Why we read it this way (9)
The role is titled 'Global Director' with explicit global and multi-market leadership scope, direct accountability for strategy, governance, vendor management, and cross-functional teams — this maps most naturally to 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers). However, the role has a strong hands-on data/AI strategy dimension that could also fit 15-2051 (Data Scientists), listed as the runner-up.
The title 'Global Director' implies a Principal-level advertised seniority, but the actual scope and requirements (10+ years preferred, domain ownership, multi-market execution) are consistent with a Senior band — 'Director' at a large enterprise like Bayer is typically a senior individual contributor or first-line leadership role, not org-wide technical authority.
The 10+ years experience figure appears only under Preferred Qualifications, but it is the sole stated experience range and is used as the overall years minimum as the best available signal.
Degree requirement is set to None because the JD explicitly states 'bachelor's degree with equivalent experience also considered,' making the Master's degree preferred rather than a hard gate.
The role lists Whippany, NJ as a primary location but also 'Residence Based,' indicating remote/hybrid eligibility; remote is set to true accordingly.
Snowflake, Azure, and Databricks are listed together as examples of enterprise platforms in the required qualifications section; Snowflake is used as the primary skill name with Azure and Databricks as alternatives since the JD treats them as interchangeable platform examples.
Additional languages (Spanish, Polish, German) are explicitly called out as 'an asset,' placing them under preferred; Spanish is listed as primary with Polish and German as alternatives since all three are named together.
Ignored 5 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): data governance, data quality management, market data vendor management, metadata management, master data management.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
