Role Profile: The Generalizing Specialist ("The Force Multiplier")

Below is the prototype Job Description for the Generalizing Specialist.

This description is designed to attract "Agile Thinkers," who form the foundation of the INPERVA™ efficiency model.

Position: Senior Business Capability Lead (Generalizing Specialist)

The Mandate: Stop handing off work. Start owning the outcome.

Role Summary:

We are looking for a Generalizing Specialist—a "Force Multiplier" who refuses to be confined to a single silo. Unlike traditional roles that focus on output (lines of code, requirement documents), you are responsible for the outcome (business capability).

You will leverage Generative AI and low-code accelerants to bridge the gap between Strategy and Execution, effectively performing the work of a Business Analyst, Architect, and Developer simultaneously. You are the "Human Hedge" against bureaucratic drag.

Core Accountabilities (The "Agile Thinker" Mandate):

• Strategy-to-Execution Bridge: You will translate C-Suite strategic intent directly into technical implementation without the "loss in translation" caused by intermediaries.
• The AI-First Workflow: You will aggressively utilize AI Copilots and LLMs to handle syntax, testing, and documentation, allowing you to focus 80% of your cognitive load on Architecture, User Experience, and Business Logic.
• Radical Truth-Telling: You are empowered to "Realize Reality." Your primary reporting duty is to flag "Red" risks immediately. "Green-shifting" bad news to comfort leadership is considered a performance failure.
• End-to-End Ownership: You do not "hand off" to QA or Ops. You own the Business Capability Life Cycle (BCLC) from ideation to deployment and value realization.

The "High Character" Qualifications (Non-Negotiable):

• Integrity Over Optics: Demonstrated history of delivering bad news early to save capital, rather than hiding it to save face. We hire for character; we train for competence.
• Polymath Curiosity: A track record of learning new domains rapidly. You are not a "Java Developer" or a "Salesforce Admin"; you are a Business Technologist who uses the right tool to solve the problem.
• Low Ego / High Agency: You operate without a "Project Manager" telling you what to do. You remove your own blockers.

Technical Fluency (The "T-Shaped" Profile):

• Broad Business Acumen (The Horizontal Bar): Deep understanding of P&L, customer journeys, and supply chain mechanics. You speak the CEO's language, not just the CIO's.
• Deep Technical Literacy (The Vertical Bar): Ability to read/write code, architect data structures, and configure systems. While AI will assist you with syntax, you must possess the expertise to judge the quality of the AI's output.

What We Do NOT Want:

• "Ticket takers" who wait for detailed requirements.
• Specialists who say, "That’s not my job, that’s the database team."
• Managers who oversee work but do not do the work.

How to Interview for This

Standard interviews fail here because they test for knowledge recall. You must test for adaptive reasoning and character.

Ask these three questions:

1. The "Integrity" Stress Test: "Tell me about a time you had to tell a senior stakeholder that their 'pet project' was going to fail. How did you handle the political fallout?" (Look for courage and data-driven truth-telling).
2. The "Generalist" Test: "Here is a business problem in a domain you don't know (e.g., Supply Chain). Using this whiteboard, architect a solution and explain which AI tools you would use to build the prototype in 48 hours." (Look for the ability to bridge strategy to tactics).
3. The "Reality" Check: "Describe a project where you reported 'Green' status when you knew deep down it was 'Red'. Why did you do it, and what did it cost the company?" (If they say "I've never done that," they are likely lying. Look for self-awareness).
