AI skills for VP of IT jobs

Specific AI skills named in the full posting text, such as prompt engineering, AI governance or an AI tool. A general mention of AI does not count.

2% of Operations openings ask for a specific AI skill. There are too few Vice President of IT listings read in full to give a figure for this role alone.

Do AI skills change vice president of it pay?

For Operations roles in general, as of November 9, 2026. This is the function’s figure, not one for vice president of it alone: one title rarely has enough listings on both sides.

Among Operations listings, those that ask for an AI skill advertise +21.5% (about $28.5k) compared with similar listings that do not, matched on level and industry.

Listings that ask for an AI skill
$160,000
median, from 517 paid listings
Listings that never mention AI
$114,000
median, from 2,429 paid listings

Advertised pay only: the midpoint of the range an employer posted, on live U.S. postings read from the full text. “Asks for an AI skill” means the posting names a specific AI skill; “no AI” means it never mentions AI. A difference in what is advertised is not a promise of what you would be paid, and it does not show that learning a skill causes a raise.
