Why we read it this way (8)
This role sits at the intersection of Finance Systems, FP&A, and data/AI strategy — it does not map cleanly to a single SOC. 15-2031 (Operations Research Analysts) was chosen as the primary code because the core work is analytical and decision-support in nature (forecasting, KPIs, planning systems), but 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a strong runner-up given the emphasis on system design, integrations, and roadmap ownership.
Pigment (the financial planning platform) is explicitly named as the primary system this role owns and administers; it is treated as a hard requirement despite not appearing under a formal 'Required' heading — the JD states the candidate will 'serve as the functional and technical owner' of it, which is firm gating language.
AI automation and data architecture are listed in the required skills block ('Strong technical skills with system design & implementation, AI automation, data architecture, integrations') and are treated as hard gates, though they are broad capabilities rather than specific named tools.
'Systems integrations' is similarly drawn from the same required skills block.
SQL and data science background appear only under the 'While not required, it's an added plus' section and are marked as preferred accordingly.
The role is open in SF, NY, or fully remote within the US; SF is listed as the primary hub.
No specific degree is required; the JD does not mention one at all.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AI automation.
