What this job asks for AI summary
This role sits at the operational center of a corporate AI Center of Excellence, responsible for maintaining a company-wide portfolio of AI initiatives — tracking what's proposed, active, or in production, what it costs, and what value it delivers. Day-to-day work involves running intake processes, establishing measurement baselines, producing executive and board-level reporting, and partnering with business-side AI Champions to move ideas through prioritization and into measurable outcomes. It suits an analytically strong generalist with a background in business analysis, portfolio management, or FP&A who is comfortable building structure in ambiguous environments.

Why we read it this way (7)
No work location is specified in the posting; the CBSA and state fields are left blank. The role does not appear to be advertised as remote.
The degree requirement lists a Bachelor's in Business, Analytics, Finance, Information Systems, or a related field — but explicitly accepts 'equivalent professional experience' as an alternative, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The primary SOC classification is 15-2031 (Operations Research Analysts) because the core work is portfolio measurement, value quantification, cost modeling, and analytical decision support — not systems analysis or software development. 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a plausible runner-up given the IT/AI portfolio governance framing.
Excel and BI tools are listed together as a single quantitative-skills requirement in the required qualifications section; they are emitted as separate skills because they are distinct tools. 'BI tools' is left as a category name because the JD names no specific product.
'AI tools' is listed as a hard requirement ('Demonstrated experience applying AI in real work — using modern AI tools daily') but no specific product is named, so it is emitted as a category skill.
Portfolio/work management tools (Jira, Confluence, monday.com, Asana, Smartsheet, Aha!) appear under Preferred Qualifications and are treated accordingly, with Jira as the primary and the others as alternatives since the JD presents them as interchangeable options.
This is explicitly described as 'not a data science role and not a traditional project management role' — it is a portfolio, measurement, and enablement role. The seniority is assessed as Mid based on the 3+ years requirement and the scope of the role (operational core of a CoE, reporting to a VP, but not setting org-wide technical direction).
