Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.

For more information, visit www.sandiego.edu/smokefree. Advertised: September 25, 2026 Pacific Daylight Time Applications close: Open until filled We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we should drop "Apply now", "Posting #: 5723", "Position Status:", maybe keep location? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." So we can include location and maybe position type in a short paragraph. But we must not repeat job title as heading. The page already shows it. So we can include a short

    with metadata: location, position type, etc. We need sections: maybe "About the role" (detailed description), "Responsibilities" (duties), "Requirements" (minimum qualifications), "Qualifications" (preferred qualifications), "Skills" (performance expectations), "Benefits", "Pay". Schedule maybe from hours: 40 hours per week. That is schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. We must not create sections with filler. Ensure we have real content. We need to use

    for section headings. Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

      for prose. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the specifics: e.g., CPR/first aid certification required within six weeks of employment; California driver’s license required. Must be available to work some evenings and weekends due to working home and away events. This position requires occasional travel, including to away events. Background check: Successful completion of a pre-employment background check. Degree Verification Requirement: Persons offered employment in this position will be required to provide official education transcripts for degree verification purposes. We need to keep the duties exactly as described, but we can format as list items. We need to avoid duplication: there are repeated lines like "Assist with departmental initiatives including Kids Club, group experiences, and community engagement programs." appears maybe only once. We'll keep. We need to remove application instructions: "Resume and Cover Letter Required Click the 'Apply Now' button..." etc. Also "Please visit the benefits section of our website..." maybe that's part of benefits description; we can keep but it's more like a pointer; but it's substantive? It says "Please visit the benefits section of our website to view all of the perks and benefits that USD has to offer." That's generic; maybe we can keep as part of benefits but it's not specific detail. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's a referral to website. Might be okay to keep but we could drop as it's not specific benefit. However instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." That sentence is not substantive detail about benefits; it's a pointer. Could be considered boilerplate. Safer to drop it. Similarly "USD: Human Resources: Benefits" maybe drop. We need to keep the benefits: medical, dental, vision, a retirement contribution given to you by the University, and access to on-campus Fitness Centers. We need to keep salary range: $5,858.67 - $6,083.33 per month. We need to keep schedule: Hours: 40 hours per week. We need to keep location: San Diego. We need to keep position type: Administrator, Athletics. We need to keep department description? Might be considered "About the role" or "About the department". Could be part of About the role. We need to keep university description? Might be too generic; but it's substantive about employer. Could be included in About the role or a separate "About the university". But we prefer few sections. Could combine into About the role. We need to avoid headings with no content. Thus propose sections: - About the role (includes detailed description, department description, university description maybe) - Responsibilities (combines Duties And Responsibilities, Storytelling & Creative Collaboration, Administrative & External Affairs Collaboration) - Requirements (minimum qualifications) - Qualifications (preferred qualifications) - Skills (performance expectations) - Benefits - Pay - Schedule We need to ensure each section has real content. Now format:

      About the role

      ...

      Inside we can include multiple paragraphs? The instruction: Use

      for prose. So we can have multiple

      elements. For lists, use

      • . We need to preserve all substantive info; we should not lose any specifics. Let's extract the detailed description: "Detailed Description The Assistant Director of Marketing and Communications serves as the primary marketing and fan engagement leads for assigned athletics programs. This role is responsible for developing and executing sport-specific marketing strategies designed to increase attendance, enhance the fan experience, elevate the USD Athletics brand, and support departmental revenue generation efforts. In addition to leading marketing initiatives, this position provides secondary support in storytelling, digital content coordination, and limited sports information responsibilities when needed. This role works collaboratively within the External Affairs unit to ensure unified messaging, strong brand alignment, and effective fan engagement across all athletics platforms." We'll keep that as prose. Department Description: "As part of the University of San Diego, a Roman Catholic University, the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is committed to advancing academic and athletic excellence and enhancing students' lives while promoting the University of San Diego." University Description: "The University of San Diego, an engaged and contemporary Catholic institution, was founded by the Diocese of San Diego and the Society of the Sacred Heart in 1949. Governed by an independent board of trustees since 1972, USD remains committed to a liberal arts education grounded in the Catholic intellectual tradition and the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty. Inspired by this centuries old tradition of Catholic higher education, the University welcomes people of all faith traditions and any, or no, religious background. The future success of USD relies on the contributions of those who seek to foster the development of engaged global citizens and an earnest confrontation of humanity’s urgent challenges." We can combine these into About the role. Now Responsibilities: we have three sections: Marketing, Fan Engagement & Digital Strategy; Storytelling & Creative Collaboration; Administrative & External Affairs Collaboration. We'll combine into a single list. We need to extract each bullet point as list items. Let's list them: From Marketing, Fan Engagement & Digital Strategy: - Serve as the primary marketing lead for assigned sports programs and secondary support for additional teams. - Develop and execute sport-specific marketing plans focused on: - Attendance growth - Fan engagement - Brand awareness - Revenue support initiatives - Plan and execute game-day marketing initiatives, promotions, and fan engagement activities. - Coordinate in-game entertainment, promotions, and student engagement efforts. - Assist with departmental initiatives including Kids Club, group experiences, and community engagement programs. - Assist with digital marketing initiatives across social media, web, email, and paid marketing platforms. - Coordinate promotional email campaigns supporting attendance, fan engagement, and departmental initiatives. - Help grow and engage fan databases through digital marketing initiatives. - Utilize analytics and audience insights to help guide campaign strategy and performance. - Work collaboratively with coaches and sport administrators to align marketing efforts with program goals. From Storytelling & Creative Collaboration: - Collaborate with creative services staff to develop compelling storytelling content. - Identify and amplify stories featuring student-athletes, coaches, and program achievements. - Support department-wide storytelling initiatives that elevate the USD Athletics brand. - Coordinate with creative staff to ensure consistent messaging and brand presentation across all athletics platforms. - Assist in the planning and execution of digital content strategies across social, video, and web platforms. - Collaborate on feature content, behind-the-scenes storytelling, and brand-building initiatives for assigned programs. - Support creative ideation and campaign development tied to major athletics initiatives and events. From Administrative & External Affairs Collaboration: - Assist with department-wide external affairs initiatives and special projects. - Support collaboration between marketing, creative services, ticketing, sponsorship, and merchandise units. - Assist with event planning, promotional logistics, and operational coordination as assigned. We need to keep the sub-bullets under "Develop and execute sport-specific marketing plans focused on:" as list items maybe nested? The instruction: Use
        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It didn't forbid nested lists, but we can flatten: each sub-item as its own
        • . Or we could keep the parent item and then
