Why we read it this way (8)
No work location or city is specified in the posting; CBSA is left blank. The role mentions up to 20% travel, suggesting it is primarily on-site or client-facing rather than fully remote.
The job title is 'MDM Solutions Architect' with no seniority modifier, so the title states no level. However, the requirements (7+ years overall IT, 5+ years enterprise data management, 3+ years hands-on MDM, team leadership) firmly support a Senior-level classification.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree… or equivalent combinations of education and relevant experience may be considered,' so no hard degree gate is set.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily about architecting and designing enterprise data/MDM solutions (15-1243 Database Architects), but the consulting, systems-analysis, and stakeholder-engagement emphasis also fits 15-1211 Computer Systems Analysts.
Riversand and Syndigo are listed as a combined requirement ('Riversand/Syndigo PIM') — they refer to the same platform (Syndigo acquired Riversand), so they are captured as a single skill with the alternative noted.
Java/J2EE is listed as a hard requirement; 'comparable object-oriented programming language' is an open-ended substitution qualifier with no specific alternatives named, so no alternatives are populated beyond J2EE.
Data governance, systems integration, and BI/Analytics appear under 'Apply industry best practices in' — a narrative responsibilities section, not a gated requirements block — so they are marked preferred.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): data governance.
