Why we read it this way (7)
No work location is specified in the posting beyond 'US & Puerto Rico'; CBSA and state fields are left blank accordingly.
The job title is 'Associate Director' — a leadership/management framing — but the JD describes a hands-on practitioner role (implementing frameworks, defining stewardship, driving initiatives) rather than a people-management role with direct reports, budget, and hiring authority, so 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used rather than 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers). 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the runner-up given the cross-functional analysis and process-improvement emphasis.
The degree requirement lists 'Bachelor's or Master's degree … or related field' with no explicit 'or equivalent experience' clause; however, the phrasing is aspirational rather than a hard gate (no 'must hold' language), so the degree requirement is set to None.
Compensation range is referenced as existing but no figures are disclosed in the posting text.
Supply chain data environments and pharmaceutical manufacturing familiarity are listed as 'highly preferred' — treated as preferred rather than required.
Skills here are domain capabilities (data governance, GxP, FDA compliance) rather than named software tools; the JD names no specific platforms or technologies.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): data governance, data management, data quality management.
