Why we read it this way (6)
This is a people-management role (SVP, Group Manager) with direct-report leadership, hiring authority, and budget oversight across a multi-geography team — classified accordingly rather than as an individual-contributor data scientist.
The advertised title is 'Senior Vice President,' but the scope — org-wide AI transformation agenda, board- and regulator-facing programs, CFO-level planning influence, and multi-team leadership — supports a Principal-level classification rather than Senior.
A Bachelor's degree in a quantitative discipline is explicitly required; a Master's or Ph.D. is 'strongly preferred' but not a hard gate, so the minimum is set to Bachelor's.
The technical skills block lists both Bitbucket and GitHub as version-control options; GitHub is captured as the primary skill name with Bitbucket as an alternative.
RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and Agentic AI appear in the technical skills section; Agentic AI is a framing concept rather than a named tool and is omitted per guidelines, while RAG is retained as a concrete named technique.
Domain knowledge areas such as credit card rewards economics, Model Risk Management frameworks (SR 11-7, SR 26-2, OCC AI guidance, CFPB, Fair Lending, ECOA) are regulatory/domain expertise rather than named technologies and are therefore not emitted as skills.
