Assistant Director for Mission Assessment
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them.
We need to parse the posting.
First part: description of St. John's University (background). That's not part of job posting? It's likely "About the University" but not required. The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include "About the role" maybe summarizing job summary. But we must not repeat job title as heading. We can include "About the role" as heading and then paragraph summarizing job summary.
We need to include sections only if there is real specific content.
Let's extract:
Job Summary: The Assistant Director is responsible for overseeing the assessment practices, outcomes, and action plans across the University’s five mission departments: the Institute for Vincentian Impact, Campus Ministry, the Vincentian Center for Church and Society, the Office of Mission Initiatives, and the Office of Equity and Inclusion. In alignment with the University’s strategic plan, assessment framework, and data-informed practices, the Assistant Director will support efforts to centralize data collection, operationalize assessment processes, and conduct meaningful analysis to inform program improvement and strategic decision-making. As a collaborative administrator, the Assistant Director assists other departments of the University. This position serves as the Mission sector representative on the University Assessment Committee and contributes to both institutional and Vincentian accreditation efforts. The Assistant Director is also responsible for leading outcomes assessment and establishing both long- and short-term goals for mission-aligned programs, departments, and initiatives.
That's substantive.
Job Responsibilities: list of bullet points (Primary Area of Focus: Office of University Mission Support ...). Many bullet points.
Other Responsibilities: bullet points.
Supervisory Responsibility: This position does not supervise any full-time administrative and staff members.
Competencies, Education, Experience Qualifications: list of qualifications.
Additional Eligibility Qualifications: A candidate must accept and exemplify the teachings of the Catholic Church... Preferred Experience in a higher education environment. Proficient writing reports in APA format. Strong interest in poverty alleviation, service, and social justice.
Supplemental Information: Work Environment, Physical Demands, Environmental Conditions, Position Type/Expected Hours of Work, Travel, Compensation, Important Note, Benefits, etc.
We need to decide which sections to include.
We have:
- About the role (job summary) -> we can put About the role
then
with summary.
- Responsibilities: we have Primary Area of Focus bullet list and Other Responsibilities bullet list. Could combine into one Responsibilities section with
- items.
- Requirements / Qualifications: The posting has "Competencies, Education, Experience Qualifications" and "Additional Eligibility Qualifications". Could combine into Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to use. We have qualifications (education, experience, skills). We could have a "Qualifications" section with required qualifications (Bachelor's degree etc.) and maybe a "Skills" section for specific skills (statistical software, tools). But we must not create sections with filler. We have concrete content for qualifications and skills.
We also have "Preferred Experience" etc. Could be part of Qualifications or separate "Preferred Qualifications". But we can include them in Qualifications.
We have "Benefits": The posting mentions "St. John’s offers a competitive compensation program which is commensurate with your qualifications, experience, and contingent upon the departmental budget. ... We also offer an extremely comprehensive benefits program to meet the diverse needs of our workforce. Along with exceptional benefits such as medical, dental, life insurance, long term disability insurance, tuition remission, generous 403(b) employer contribution, employee assistance program, and liberal paid time off policies, faculty and staff can also enjoy St. John’s performing arts, libraries, bookstores, dining facilities, campus recreation and sporting events". This is substantive benefits description. So we should include a Benefits section.
We have Pay: The posting says "Compensation is commensurate with your qualifications and experience and contingent upon the departmental budget." and later "St. John’s offers a competitive compensation program which is commensurate with your qualifications, experience, and contingent upon the departmental budget." That's vague, not a specific number or range. The instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state compensation is commensurate with qualifications and experience (no specific figure). That's still stating compensation but it's vague. The instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Since the posting states compensation is commensurate with qualifications and experience, that is essentially "commensurate with experience" which is considered filler? The instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. So if we include Pay section with that text, it would be filler. So we should NOT include a Pay section because it's just "commensurate with experience". Similarly Schedule: The posting says "Position Type/Expected Hours of Work This is a full-time position. Days and hours of work are Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. This position may be hybrid eligible, subject to university policy 130." That's specific schedule info (full-time, M-F 8:30-4:30). That's not filler; it's concrete. So we can include a Schedule section.
Travel: The posting includes travel info: "Travel is primarily local and may include visits to the other NY campuses." That's not a standard heading but could be part of Schedule or maybe separate. But we only have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Travel not in list; we could incorporate into Schedule or maybe under Responsibilities? Probably better to include under Schedule or maybe as a separate section not in list? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., implying those are examples but not exclusive? It says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect us to use those headings only. So we should stick to those. Travel could be placed under Schedule or maybe under Responsibilities? Probably Schedule is appropriate: we can mention travel within Schedule paragraph.
Benefits: we have concrete benefits, so include Benefits section.
Qualifications: we have required qualifications (Bachelor's degree, 2 years research experience, etc.) and also skills (knowledge of tools, SPSS, PowerBI, etc.). Could split into Qualifications and Skills. The list includes both qualifications and skills. We could have Qualifications heading for education/experience, and Skills heading for technical skills. That seems appropriate.
Requirements: maybe we could combine qualifications and skills under Requirements? But we have both headings available. Let's decide: Use Requirements for mandatory requirements (education, experience, eligibility). Use Skills for technical skills (statistical software, tools, MS Office, communication). That seems logical.
We also have "Additional Eligibility Qualifications" about Catholic teachings, preferred experience, APA format, interest in poverty alleviation. Those could be part of Requirements or Qualifications. We'll include them under Requirements as they are eligibility.
Now we need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. At the end there is EEO statement, etc. Remove that.
Also remove "Important Note- St. John’s is NOT an E-Verify Employer" maybe not boilerplate but it's a note; could be considered legal? Might be considered boilerplate? It's a specific note about E-Verify; not sure. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is not exactly those, but it's a legal note. Might be considered legal boilerplate. Safer to remove it.
Also remove "Any offer of employment is subject to receipt by St. John’s University of satisfactory references, verification of employment and education." That's also legal/boilerplate. Remove.
Also remove "St. John’s University is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." Remove.
Also remove duplicated lines: there are duplicated sentences about compensation etc. We'll keep only one instance.

Responsibilities
- ... each bullet.
We need to include both Primary Area of Focus and Other Responsibilities bullets. Also Supervisory Responsibility statement (does not supervise any full-time administrative and staff members). That could be a bullet under Responsibilities or separate? Probably include as bullet.
