Full-time
We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections. First paragraph: "Your future has many paths. Be ready for them all. Toffler Associates is a future-focused strategic advisory firm..." That's about the firm, maybe "About the role"? Actually "About the role" heading should contain description of role. The posting says: "Our firm is seeking an Agile Project Manager to join our growing team. This person will be working on strategic client projects, including those across the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research and the National Weather Service at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). In this role, you provide subject matter expertise, coaching, and direct execution of project planning, resource management, and stakeholder engagement activities and ensure the successful delivery of complex solutions. Additionally, you provide strategic insights that will contribute to business development initiatives. The expansion of client relationships and identification of new opportunities in your client mission area is critical to success in this role. With expertise in strategic analysis and risk planning, this person will manage project financials, budgeting, and forecasting, ensuring high-quality outputs that drive client success and organizational impact." Then "Your Impact Will Include" bullet list: Oversee project portfolios, budgets, grants, and schedules; Coordinating with teams across NOAA modeling advancements, observations, and testing initiatives; Providing strategic insights that will contribute to business development initiatives; Ensuring high-quality outputs that drive client success and organizational impact; Strong acumen in scanning the broader organization, connecting dots across stakeholders, and identifying opportunities the client may not see. Then "You'll Arrive Equipped With" list: A minimum of 5 years of experience managing federal contracts or project teams; Experience with managing support services specifically for high-performing agile teams; Strong background working with interdisciplinary teams, academic partners, and scientific/analytical modeling enterprises; Must reside in or be willing to commute regularly within the Washington, DC metropolitan area; hybrid work environment anticipated, to include on-site and virtual locations; U.S. citizenship (the nature of our work with the federal government limits our hiring to U.S. citizens); Ability to obtain and maintain up to a top-secret security clearance.; Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in business, management, or a field related to Agile program management within a federal scientific modeling enterprise. Then "Preferred Qualifications" list: Background supporting atmospheric science departments of the US government such as NOAA, EPA, NASA etc.; Agile certifications (e.g., Certified Scrum Master, Professional Scrum Master I, Project Management Institute – Agile Certified Practitioner, SAFe Agilist); Experience developing robust project plans and continuously managing project financials, budgeting, and forecasting; Strategic thinker with strong systems thinking and first principles of reasoning; Able to translate strategy to execution and own execution (work cross-functionally and across seniority levels within a client space to drive change, keeping relationships and culture in mind); Proven ability to bring structure to ambiguous and open-ended problems; Strong executive presence with the ability to command a room and engage senior clients; Confident facilitator able to guide discussions, manage conflict, and drive alignment; Strong storyteller capable of creating compelling narratives, insights, and recommendations; Relationship builder with strong client service orientation; Strong analytical skills; comfortable with both quantitative and qualitative data; Highly organized; able to manage multiple workstreams, deliverables, and internal/external expectations; can manage up; Experience with managing complex team structures and project budgets; Knowledge of key consulting frameworks and concepts (Mento Pyramid, MECE, ChoiceCascade, 7S, Growth Share); Previous experience in a defense or commercial consulting firm; Experience serving or working in a large corporate environment, including familiarity with strategy development and execution, organizational change, and processes; Experience conducting qualitative and quantitative data analytics. Then "Technical Skills" list: Demonstrated fluency with industry-standard Agile enterprise management platforms (e.g., the Atlassian suite, Azure DevOps, Broadcom Rally, Digital.ai Agility, Wrike); Strong PPT and Excel skills.

Then "What sets Toffler Associates apart?" paragraph. Then EEO boilerplate etc. We need to map to sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which content goes where. - About the role: description of role, maybe the first paragraph about the firm and role. - Responsibilities: could be "Your Impact Will Include" bullet list (oversee project portfolios, etc.) plus maybe other responsibilities like providing subject matter expertise, coaching, direct execution, etc. Those are in the initial description. So we can combine. - Requirements: mandatory qualifications: "You'll Arrive Equipped With" list (minimum 5 years experience, etc.) plus maybe citizenship, security clearance, location, degree. - Qualifications: could be "Preferred Qualifications" list. - Skills: could be "Technical Skills" list plus maybe "Growth Expectations"? But Growth Expectations maybe more about expectations, could be considered Skills or maybe separate but we only have Skills section. We could include both Technical Skills and Growth Expectations under Skills, or maybe separate sections but we only have Skills. Could also include "Strong PPT and Excel skills" etc. - Benefits: "We'll Equip You With" list includes benefits like flexible workplace, collaborative team, community, culture, inclusive environment, competitive compensation and outstanding benefits. That's benefits. - Pay: Not explicitly stated; there is "Competitive compensation" but no specific numbers. According to rule: never create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "Competitive compensation and outstanding benefits" but not specific. Should we include Pay? The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It says we should include Benefits only if posting actually states them. The posting does state benefits: "Competitive compensation and outstanding benefits" and also list of benefits. So Benefits section is okay. Pay: they mention competitive compensation but not specific numbers; it's still stating compensation but not specific. The rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state compensation (competitive compensation). However they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might still include Pay if they mention compensation. But they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state compensation (competitive compensation). So we could include Pay with that statement. However they also say "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". "Competitive compensation" is not filler? It's vague but still a statement. Might be acceptable. But to be safe, maybe we omit Pay because it's not specific. The rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state them (competitive compensation). But also they say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be okay to include Pay with that phrase. However many similar postings treat "competitive compensation" as not specific enough; but the instruction says not to create unless posting actually states them. It does state them, albeit vague. I'd include Pay with that phrase. Schedule: Not mentioned; hybrid work environment anticipated, to include on-site and virtual locations. That's about work arrangement, not schedule. No explicit schedule like full-time, part-time, hours. So we should not create Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Now we need to output HTML fragment with

for each section heading, then content:

for prose,

  • for lists. We must not repeat job title. Not include Job ID etc. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to ensure we include all details from the posting, but we can group them logically. Let's extract each piece. **About the role** (prose): The first paragraph describing the firm and role: "Toffler Associates is a future-focused strategic advisory firm that works with both government and commercial clients. Our Future Proof® business consulting approach makes us unique in the industry, helping global leaders understand how future shifts impact current decisions and empowering them to take advantage of opportunities, manage risk, and create value. Our firm is seeking an Agile Project Manager to join our growing team. This person will be working on strategic client projects, including those across the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research and the National Weather Service at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). In this role, you provide subject matter expertise, coaching, and direct execution of project planning, resource management, and stakeholder engagement activities and ensure the successful delivery of complex solutions. Additionally, you provide strategic insights that will contribute to business development initiatives. The expansion of client relationships and identification of new opportunities in your client mission area is critical to success in this role. With expertise in strategic analysis and risk planning, this person will manage project financials, budgeting, and forecasting, ensuring high-quality outputs that drive client success and organizational impact." We could also include "Your future has many paths. Be ready for them all." but that's tagline; maybe include as part of About the role? It's not substantive? It's fluff but still part of posting. Might keep. **Responsibilities**: Could be the "Your Impact Will Include" bullet list plus maybe the earlier responsibilities (subject matter expertise etc.) but those are already in About the role. To avoid duplication, we can keep About the role as general description, and Responsibilities as the bullet list. Bullet list items: - Oversee project portfolios, budgets, grants, and schedules - Coordinating with teams across NOAA modeling advancements, observations, and testing initiatives - Providing strategic insights that will contribute to business development initiatives - Ensuring high-quality outputs that drive client success and organizational impact - Strong acumen in scanning the broader organization, connecting dots across stakeholders, and identifying opportunities the client may not see Note: The last item is "Strong acumen in scanning the broader organization, connecting dots across stakeholders, and identifying opportunities the client may not see." That's more a skill but it's in Impact Will Include. We'll keep as responsibility. **Requirements** (mandatory): From "You'll Arrive Equipped With": - A minimum of 5 years of experience managing federal contracts or project teams - Experience with managing support services specifically for high-performing agile teams - Strong background working with interdisciplinary teams, academic partners, and scientific/analytical modeling enterprises - Must reside in or be willing to commute regularly within the Washington, DC metropolitan area; hybrid work environment anticipated, to include on-site and virtual locations - U.S. citizenship (the nature of our work with the federal government limits our hiring to U.S. citizens) - Ability to obtain and maintain up to a top-secret security clearance. - Bachelor's
