Assistant Managing Editor, Journals - Remote

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse content: The posting includes mission description, role description, essential functions broken into percentages, experience/qualifications, knowledge/skills/ability, travel requirements, physical requirements, pay, benefits. We need to decide sections: About the role (intro description), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (experience/qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe degree?), Skills (knowledge, skills, ability), Benefits, Pay, Schedule (maybe travel? but schedule not given; we have remote flexibility; schedule not explicit; we might omit Schedule if no specific content). Travel requirements maybe not schedule. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to see if schedule info present: "This position is fully remote, with flexibility to work from anywhere in the U.S." That's about location, not schedule. No explicit schedule like full-time, part-time, hours. So we should not create Schedule section. Pay: we have starting rate $67,000 to $72,000. So include Pay section. Benefits: mention ACS provides staff a generous paid time off policy; medical, dental, retirement benefits, wellness programs, professional development programs. Also link to benefits page. So include Benefits. About the role: we have introductory paragraph about mission and role description. Could be used. Responsibilities: essential functions with percentages. Requirements: maybe "Minimum Degree Required: Bachelor's Degree" and "Years of experience: Required: Minimum of 3 years’ experience...". That's qualifications. Could split into Requirements (experience) and Qualifications (degree). But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings allowed. We need to decide what to put where. The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections. We need to allocate content appropriately. Experience/Qualifications section includes Minimum Degree Required and Years of experience. Could treat that as Qualifications (education + experience). Requirements could be maybe something else like "Ability to represent ACS at conferences" (travel requirements) but that's more like Travel Requirements. But we have no Travel heading. Could put travel under Responsibilities? Not ideal. Maybe we treat Travel Requirements as part of Responsibilities? But better to create a separate section? Not allowed headings list doesn't include Travel. So we could incorporate travel info into Responsibilities or maybe under About the role. However the instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we cannot create a Travel section because not in allowed headings. So we must fit travel info elsewhere, maybe under Responsibilities (as part of duties). That seems okay. Knowledge, Skills, and Ability section corresponds to Skills heading. Thus: - About the role: intro paragraphs about mission and role description (first paragraph up to "This position is a critical part..."). - Responsibilities: essential functions (the bullet-like paragraphs with percentages). We'll convert to

• items. - Requirements: maybe "Minimum Degree Required: Bachelor's Degree" and "Years of experience: Required: Minimum of 3 years’ experience...". Could be combined. - Qualifications: maybe "Preferred: 1-2 years’ experience working with digital artwork and editing video in Adobe Creative Cloud for social media." plus other preferred items? Actually those are under KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITY: Preferred: Understanding of publication embargoes..., Comfortable presenting..., Familiarity with current issues..., Experience proofreading..., Experience training staff. Those are skills/knowledge. So Qualifications could be education and experience requirements; Skills could be knowledge, skills, abilities. Thus: Requirements: Minimum Degree Required: Bachelor's Degree; Years of experience: Required: Minimum of 3 years’ experience with web-based peer review systems, peer review processes, and editorial procedures for a scholarly journal, including experience dealing with scientific researchers or physicians. Qualifications: Preferred: 1-2 years’ experience working with digital artwork and editing video in Adobe Creative Cloud for social media. (maybe also other preferred? Actually that's under EXPERIENCE/QUALIFICATIONS: Preferred: 1-2 years’ experience working with digital artwork and editing video in Adobe Creative Cloud for social media.) So that's qualifications. Skills: Exceptional problem-solving skills..., Skill with analyzing and reporting..., Ability to distill..., Must be persistent..., Excellent communication..., Ability to learn new computer programs..., Proven organizational..., Preferred: Understanding of publication embargoes..., Comfortable presenting..., Familiarity with current issues..., Experience proofreading..., Experience training staff. We need to keep all substantive info, not invent. Benefits: ACS provides staff a generous paid time off policy; medical, dental, retirement benefits, wellness programs, and professional development programs to enhance staff skills. Further details on our benefits can be found on our careers site at: jobs.cancer.org/benefits. Pay: The starting rate is $67,000 to $72,000. The final candidate's relevant experience/skills will be considered before an offer is extended. Actual starting pay will vary based on non-discriminatory factors including, but not limited to, geographic location, experience, skills, specialty, and education. We should not include boilerplate like equal opportunity employer. We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown. Let's craft. Structure:
