Why we read it this way (7)
The role carries a 'Director' title with org-wide, enterprise-wide scope and explicit ownership of an AI Center of Excellence — this maps to a Principal-level position rather than a typical Senior or Staff role.
11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers) is the primary code given the Director title, CoE leadership, executive advisory duties, and governance ownership. However, the JD places heavy emphasis on hands-on architecture design (Agentic AI, GenAI, RAG, LLMOps), making 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) a plausible runner-up for the IC-architecture dimension.
IoT is listed under 'Experience & Qualifications' but phrased as 'Experience with IoT' without the firm gating language used for other requirements — treated as preferred.
ERP and cloud platforms appear under 'Core Competencies' as contextual stack rather than explicitly gated requirements — treated as preferred.
No compensation figures were provided in the posting.
The role is explicitly office-based in Irving, TX; no remote option is stated.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): enterprise architecture, AI architecture, AI governance.
