Why we read it this way (6)
The job title is 'Data Scientist' with no seniority modifier; the pay band label 'Associate - Managing Consultant' is an internal Inspire11 level designation, not a standard seniority title, so the title states no level.
The minimum 2 years of Data Science experience and the scope of responsibilities (scoping through deployment, client-facing consulting) support a Mid-level classification.
No specific cloud platform is named — the JD says 'a cloud environment'; AWS, Azure, and GCP are listed as common substitutes.
GenAI and LLMs are listed together as a single requirement ('applications that leverage GenAI/LLMs') but represent distinct concepts; both are captured as separate skills.
The role requires willingness to be onsite at Inspire11 or client locations, so it is not fully remote. Inspire11 is headquartered in Chicago, IL, and no other primary location is specified.
No degree requirement is stated anywhere in the posting.
