## Direct-match strengths

AI deployment leadership, customer discovery, executive engagement, business-process translation, operational playbooks, team building, requirements, SOPs, and measurable delivery.

## Hard or material gaps

Hard location conflict: the posting requires an intense in-person New York City culture, while Keith accepts remote U.S. roles or Massachusetts hybrid/on-site roles. Tier-one management consulting plus forward-deployed high-growth experience is preferred, and the role plans a 30-person deployment organization beyond Keith's directly documented line-management scope.

## Evidence map

1. Lead high-stakes AI deployments (weight 3, evidence 3/3) — Direct enterprise platform and client delivery.
2. Translate ambiguous operations into requirements and SOPs (weight 3, evidence 3/3) — Direct workflow discovery and structured delivery.
3. Build deployment playbooks and operating cadence (weight 3, evidence 3/3) — Direct reusable methods, governance, and Agile delivery.
4. Hire and lead a deployment organization (weight 3, evidence 2/3) — Built teams up to 25; planned 30-person organization is somewhat larger.
5. Tier-one consulting and forward-deployed background (weight 2, evidence 1/3) — Consulting and client work are direct; stated pedigree is not.
6. Eligible work model (weight 3, evidence 0/3) — Mandatory in-person New York City conflicts with constraints.

## Keyword diagnostic

Strong AI deployment and player-coach leadership overlap, rejected by the mandatory New York City in-person model.
