The role manages all aspects of Bloomsbury’s conference presence for A&P marketing and editorial teams in the US and UK, across Books and Bloomsbury Digital Resources (BDR).

The role oversees a small team supporting up to 200 conferences a year globally." We can put that as About the role. - Responsibilities: includes Management, Communications, Budget Responsibilities, Conference Planning, Conference Execution And Administration, Special Projects, etc. So we can list bullet points. - Requirements: includes Academic Conferences Experience (5-7 years), Extensive experience managing conference schedules, Experience with global conferences, solid understanding of territorial differences, eye for design and brand. - Qualifications: maybe not separate; but we have "Strategic Planning & Improvement", "Management & People Skills", "Systems Knowledge". Those could be Skills or Qualifications. The instruction says we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide where each piece goes. We have "Strategic Planning & Improvement", "Management & People Skills", "Systems Knowledge". Those could be Skills. Also "Excellent attention to detail" could be skill. We have "Location: Candidates must be located within the DC, MD, VA region and are able to work on a hybrid schedule from our Greenbelt MD office." That's Schedule? Actually schedule is hybrid schedule. Could be Schedule section. Also location could be part of About? But we have a Schedule section for hybrid schedule. We have Pay: Salary Range: $80,000- $90,000. Benefits: Medical insurance, Vision insurance, Dental insurance, 401(k), Paid parental leave, Hybrid Work Schedule (but hybrid schedule already in Schedule; but benefits list includes Hybrid Work Schedule; we can include it in Benefits as well? Might duplicate. But we can keep hybrid schedule under Benefits as it's a benefit. However schedule section could also mention hybrid schedule. Might be redundant. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we have both Pay and Benefits explicit. Schedule: we have hybrid schedule mentioned. So we can include Schedule section with hybrid schedule. Location is not a section; we could fold into About or maybe not needed. Could be omitted as not a heading. We must not include boilerplate like EEO. Now produce HTML:
