Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 20, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (7)
The SOC classification is uncertain: this role blends technical strategy, industry advisory, and architecture pattern development — it does not map cleanly to any single computer/mathematical occupation. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the best available fit; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a plausible alternative given the systems/architecture translation work.
The degree requirement accepts a Bachelor's OR Master's OR equivalent experience, so no minimum degree is hard-gated.
The 8-year minimum experience figure comes from the Bachelor's path (8+ years); the Master's path requires only 6+ years. The lower bound of the two paths (6) could be argued, but 8 is the more conservative gate for candidates without a Master's.
Skills listed under the requirements are largely conceptual (AI transformation, digital transformation, application modernization) rather than named tools or platforms; only the most concrete named technology categories have been extracted. No specific cloud provider, AI framework, or data platform is named anywhere in the posting.
The 2+ years in Strategy/Management Consulting/Finance is a role-level experience requirement, not tied to a named technology, and is captured in the overall years minimum context rather than as a skill.
Manufacturing and Mobility industry domain knowledge is explicitly required but is not a technology/tool and so is not emitted as a skill per extraction rules.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): enterprise architecture.
