Why we read it this way (6)
The posting is notably light on named technologies. 'Experience using tools for statistical modeling of large data sets' is a hard requirement but names no specific tool — no Python, R, SQL, or platform is mentioned anywhere in the JD.
Desktop GIS tools (ESRI, MapInfo) and geospatial/demographics experience are explicitly called 'a plus' in the qualifications, so they are marked as preferred despite appearing in the qualifications section.
The title includes 'VP' which is a Citi internal band designation (Vice President), not a people-management executive role — the JD describes an individual contributor analytical position, so the role is classified as Senior rather than a management-level band.
The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends data science (modeling, AI) with geospatial/operations research analysis (network optimization, branch/ATM placement). 15-2051 Data Scientists was chosen as primary given the explicit 'Data Science' job family label and AI/modeling emphasis; 15-2031 Operations Research Analysts is a credible alternative given the network optimization and strategic decision-support framing.
An undergraduate degree in a quantitative field is listed in qualifications, but the posting explicitly accepts 'equivalent experience' — the degree requirement is therefore set to None.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): data analysis, geospatial analysis.
