Why we read it this way (6)
The role is titled 'Director' and framed as a Director-level position, which maps to the level advertised in the title of Principal; however, the JD describes a hands-on builder/strategic leader without explicit org-wide authority or large team management scope, so the actual requirements support a Senior band.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree … required; advanced degree preferred.' Because an advanced degree is only preferred and the JD does not explicitly reject candidates without one, the degree requirement is set to Bachelors. However, the JD does not explicitly say 'or equivalent experience,' so Bachelors is treated as the minimum hard gate.
Cloud platform tools (Azure, Power BI, Databricks, Snowflake, AWS) are listed under Qualifications with 'such as … or comparable technologies,' indicating the specific tools are interchangeable; the requirement for a modern cloud data platform is a hard gate, and the named tools are captured as alternatives where appropriate.
GxP and 21 CFR Part 11 / EU Annex 11 familiarity is listed under Qualifications with the word 'Familiarity,' which is softer language; however, given the regulated biotech context and its placement in the Qualifications section, it is treated as a hard gate. The 'familiarity' qualifier is noted here for the hiring manager's awareness.
The role is described as 'Boston, MA preferred,' implying some flexibility on location but not explicitly fully remote; remote is set to false.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): 21 CFR Part 11.
