Why we read it this way (7)
The role is titled 'Director' and involves hiring, building career paths, and leading a cross-site team with a Steering Committee and Model Risk Board — clearly a people-management position mapped to 11-3021. The alt SOC 15-2051 reflects the substantial hands-on data science and MLOps scope described.
The posting requires 10+ years overall and 5+ years specifically in regulated life sciences; the 5-year figure is attached to the life-sciences domain requirement, not a single named technology, so it is captured in the overall years minimum (10) with the domain context noted here.
The advertised seniority is 'Director', which maps to Principal on the band scale given its org-wide scope across three businesses; however, the actual requirements (a senior functional leader, not a rare top-of-ladder individual contributor) support a Senior band.
Platform and tool requirements are listed under a 'Platforms / BI / MLOps / Bioinformatics / Governance' block within the Required Skills section, so all named technologies are treated as hard gates. Where the posting uses 'or' or slash notation, alternatives are captured accordingly.
Certifications (GAMP 5/CSA, ITIL, cloud, data governance) are listed under Required Skills but framed as a list of options with no single one mandated — GAMP 5 is captured as preferred to reflect this optionality.
The role is hybrid in Irvine, CA; the CBSA used is Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim (31080), which encompasses Irvine/Orange County.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): 21 CFR Part 11.
