We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (7)
The title 'Director, Applied AI' is a senior people-management role with direct reports, hiring authority, and portfolio governance — mapped to 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers). 15-2051 (Data Scientists) is noted as a runner-up given the depth of AI/ML delivery scope, but the primary day-to-day work is leading a team and setting strategy rather than hands-on modeling.
The advertised title is 'Director,' which maps to Principal on the seniority ladder; however, the actual requirements (10+ years total, 5+ years leading teams, enterprise delivery experience) are well within the Senior band. The two bands are reported separately to surface this gap.
The JD requires a Bachelor's degree in a specific field with no explicit 'or equivalent experience' escape clause, so the degree requirement is set to Bachelors.
The 5+ years of team-leadership experience is a role-level gate, not tied to a named technology, so it is captured in the overall years minimum (10+ years overall) rather than as a skill.
Platform familiarity (Salesforce, Snowflake, Power BI, JD Edwards, Power Automate, Workfront, Jira) appears explicitly under the 'Preferred' section and is treated accordingly.
No compensation figures were disclosed in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): workflow automation.
