A senior individual contributor role responsible for designing and scaling AI capabilities across an entire enterprise — connecting business teams in Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Finance, Legal, HR, and Customer Success to shared AI infrastructure and strategy. The work spans hands-on architecture of production AI workflows, governance and compliance oversight, internal enablement programs, and executive-level reporting on adoption and ROI. Suits a technically deep generalist with strong cross-functional influence skills and recent practical AI/ML build experience.

Why we read it this way (8)
The posting is explicitly titled 'Senior Director' and framed as the company's most senior internal AI technical advisor — 'Principal' is the closest advertised level. However, the JD is clear this is an individual contributor role (no direct reports today), so the actual scope and requirements support a Senior band rather than Staff or Principal.
SOC classification is a genuine judgement call. The role is a hands-on enterprise AI architect/strategist IC — not a people manager (11-3021) and not cleanly a software developer (15-1252). 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) best captures an enterprise AI architecture/strategy IC role; 11-3021 is the runner-up given the executive-level influence, steering committee engagement, and future team-building mandate.
The 10–15 year experience range is stated at the role level; 10 is used as the overall years minimum per instructions.
Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot are listed together as example AI model platforms in the architecture context — treated as interchangeable alternatives under a single preferred skill, since the JD presents them as illustrative examples rather than hard gates.
6Sense appears only in the Key Impact Areas narrative (ABM intent signal aggregation) and in the Nice To Have section context — treated as preferred.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): no-code/low-code automation.
