## Direct-match strengths

AI transformation strategy, secure/scalable architecture, agents, data, integration, identity, governance, operations, stakeholder discovery, costed delivery approaches, proof-of-concept governance, risk management, reusable architecture assets, and team mentorship.

## Hard or material gaps

End-employer identity should be confirmed. The role is customer/transformation oriented and may include adoption leadership, but it does not explicitly assign quota or sales ownership. Keith's Microsoft/Azure depth is weaker than AWS.

## Evidence map

1. AI transformation from strategy to adoption (weight 3, evidence 3/3) — Direct AI strategy, adoption, delivery, and value realization.
2. Secure scalable AI architecture (weight 3, evidence 3/3) — Direct agents, APIs, data, security, governance, and operations.
3. Stakeholder discovery and measurable outcomes (weight 3, evidence 3/3) — Direct executive discovery, business cases, KPIs, and roadmaps.
4. POC/pilot governance to production (weight 3, evidence 3/3) — Direct prototypes, staged releases, validation, and production controls.
5. Identity and governance (weight 2, evidence 3/3) — Direct IAM, privacy, and Responsible AI governance.
6. Microsoft/Azure ecosystem (weight 2, evidence 1/3) — AWS-led depth; Azure is weaker.
7. Remote compensation eligibility (weight 2, evidence 3/3) — Remote implied by listing and disclosed max exceeds $200K.

## Keyword diagnostic

Strong AI transformation, architecture, governance, integration, identity, operating model, and value-realization match; Microsoft/Azure depth and employer identity are caveats.
