Assistant Director - Athletic Communications

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use only sections with real content. We need to parse the posting. Company Description: includes description of Harvard, FAS. That could be "About the role"? Actually "Company Description" is about the organization. Could be "About the role"? The instruction: use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have "About the role" heading containing company description and job summary? The job summary is part of Job Description. Probably we combine company description and job summary under "About the role". But we must not repeat job title as heading. We'll include company description and job summary as prose under that heading. Responsibilities: we have Job-Specific Responsibilities enumerated 1-4. Also Job Description bullet points earlier. We'll combine into a list under Responsibilities. Requirements: maybe Basic Qualifications and Additional Qualifications and Skills? Actually Qualifications section includes Basic Qualifications and Additional Qualifications and Skills. Also Certificates and Licenses. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says we can have sections Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide which to use. We have qualifications (education, experience). We have skills (social media, software). We could put Basic Qualifications under Requirements, Additional Qualifications and Skills under Skills, and Certificates and Licenses maybe under Requirements or Qualifications. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But we must follow instruction: use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid using both Requirements and Qualifications. We'll include both if they have substantive content. We have Pay: Salary Grade and Ranges mentions salary grade level 056 and refer to Harvard's Salary Ranges. No actual numbers. That's not specific; we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "Please visit Harvard's Salary Ranges to view the corresponding salary range". That's not a specific figure, so we should not include Pay section. Schedule: Standard Hours/Schedule: 35 hours per week. That's specific. So we can include Schedule section with that. Benefits: there is a Benefits paragraph with list. So include Benefits. We also have Working Conditions and Physical Requirements. Those could be part of Responsibilities? Or maybe we could include under Requirements? But they are not exactly qualifications. Could be part of Responsibilities? Might be better to include under Responsibilities as additional details? However they are not duties. Could be under Requirements? Not exactly. The instruction says we should include sections only when posting has real, specific content. We have Working Conditions and Physical Requirements. Could we make a section "Working Conditions"? Not in the allowed list but we could still use h3 with that heading? The instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings; but we could also use other headings? It says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests those are examples; we could still use other headings but likely they want those. Safer to stick to those. Working Conditions and Physical Requirements could be folded into Responsibilities or Requirements. Perhaps we can add a brief sentence under Responsibilities about working conditions. But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop them. So we need to include them somewhere. We could add a paragraph under Responsibilities after the list, or under Requirements. Let's put them under Responsibilities as additional notes. Now we need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes EEO/Non-Discrimination Commitment Statement at end; we must remove that. Also "Additional Information Standard Hours/Schedule: 35 hours per weekVisa Sponsorship Information: Harvard University is unable to provide visa sponsorship for this positionPre-Employment Screening: Identity, EducationOther Information: All formal offers will be made by FAS Human Resources. Work Format Details ..." We need to keep Standard Hours/Schedule (35 hrs/week) and maybe Visa Sponsorship? That's metadata; we could fold into a short p or drop it. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Visa sponsorship is minor metadata; we can drop it or include in a short p. Probably drop it. Pre-Employment Screening also minor; drop. Work Format Details maybe minor; drop. "All formal offers will be made by FAS Human Resources." maybe minor; drop. We need to keep Benefits, Schedule. Now craft HTML. Structure:

About the role

Company description paragraph(s) + Job Summary.

We need to combine company description (first two paragraphs) and Job Summary (the paragraph after Job Description). Let's extract: Company Description: "By working at Harvard University, you join a vibrant community that advances Harvard's world-changing mission in meaningful ways, inspires innovation and collaboration, and builds skills and expertise. We are dedicated to creating a diverse and welcoming environment where everyone can thrive. Why join the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences?

It is the home of Harvard’s undergraduate program (Harvard College, founded in 1636) as well as all of Harvard’s Ph.D. programs (the Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, founded in 1872), Harvard Athletics and the Division of Continuing Education. The 40 academic departments and 30+ centers of the FAS support a community unparalleled in its academic excellence across the broadest range of liberal arts and sciences disciplines. Together, the FAS seeks to foster an environment of ambition, curiosity and shared commitment to knowledge and truth that elicits excellence from all members of our community and prepares the next generation of leaders through a transformative educational experience." Job Summary: "This position plays a key role in publicizing select Varsity sports for the Department of Athletics, which has a 42-sport Division I athletics program.

maybe two paragraphs but okay. Now Responsibilities: we have list of 4 numbered responsibilities each with sub-bullets. We'll output

• each responsibility as a paragraph? The instruction: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make each numbered item as a
  • containing the description (including its sub-points). We'll keep the content. Thus:

    Responsibilities

    • Manages media and public relations functions for select sports as well as key Department initiatives. Pro-actively communicates with media about, and solicits media coverage for, events and feature stories on Harvard athletes, teams, and other Department milestones/accomplishments.

    • Actively plans and implements the historical archiving of content for assigned sports and projects.

    Now we also need to include Working Conditions and Physical Requirements. We could add another
  • under Responsibilities? But they are not responsibilities. Perhaps we add a separate section "Working Conditions" but not in allowed headings. Could we add a

    after the list? The instruction: Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

      for prose. So we can add a

      after the list for Working Conditions and Physical Requirements. That preserves info. Thus after the

    we add:

    Working Conditions: The position requires extensive evening, weekend and holiday hours and ability to handle last-minute schedule changes. Occasional local and regional travel is required, about 20% of the year.

    Physical Requirements: Job occasionally requires strenuous physical activity, including the climbing of steps and moving of heavy boxes and equipment (~50 lbs); ability to work extended stretches, both within a day and over several consecutive days.

    Now Requirements: we have Basic Qualifications: Bachelor's degree required (preferably in communications/sport management/journalism/audio-visual communications or related field). At least 3 years of work experience in athletic communications/ sports media. Internships and education may count towards this experience. We'll put that under Requirements as a
