Associate Director Consulting - State and Local Government

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About This Role", "What You’ll Do", "What We’re Looking For: Required Qualifications", "Preferred Qualifications", "Who Thrives Here", "Who are we?" maybe not needed, "What makes Gartner a great place to work?" etc. But we must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to avoid boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. Also we must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we can choose appropriate headings based on content. The instructions: "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should use those exact headings if we have content. But we can also use other headings? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect we use those headings when appropriate. We need to map content to these categories. We have: - About the role: we have "About This Role" paragraph describing leading meaningful client transformations etc. That fits About the role. - Responsibilities: "What You’ll Do As an Engagement Manager, you will be responsible for:" then bullet list of duties. That fits Responsibilities. - Requirements: "What We’re Looking For: Required Qualifications" list. That fits Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe "Preferred Qualifications". That fits Qualifications? Actually they differentiate Requirements vs Qualifications. Could treat Required Qualifications as Requirements, Preferred Qualifications as Qualifications. - Skills: maybe not explicit but we could extract from required qualifications: problem-solving, facilitation, communication skills, etc. Could put under Skills. - Benefits: "What do we offer?" includes benefits: world-class benefits, highly competitive compensation, hybrid work environment, generous PTO, 401k match up to $7,200 per year, opportunity to purchase company stock at a discount, etc. Also mention bonus plan, etc. So Benefits section. - Pay: "A reasonable estimate of the base salary range for this role is 138,000 USD - 163,000 USD." plus mention bonus etc. So Pay section. - Schedule: maybe hybrid work environment mention. Could be Schedule: hybrid work environment (flexibility). Could include. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, accommodation request, Job Requisition ID, privacy link, navigation instructions, etc. Also remove "Who are we?" maybe not needed but could be considered About the company; but not in list of headings. Could omit. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting that are substantive, but we can format them into sections. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce something like:

We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO, legal, job ID, etc. Also we removed "Who are we?" and "What makes Gartner a great place to work?" maybe we could incorporate some of that into Benefits or About the role? But the instruction says only include sections when posting has real specific content for it. The "What makes Gartner a great place to work?" is substantive but not matching our headings. Could we put under About the role? Might be considered company overview. But we could also create a section "About Gartner" but not in allowed headings. Safer to omit because not in list; but we risk losing substantive info. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." and "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but gives examples. Probably they expect us to use those headings only. So we should map all substantive info into those categories. The "What makes Gartner a great place to work?" could be part of Benefits or About the role? It's about culture, maybe Benefits. We could add a bullet under Benefits: "Inclusive, diverse workplace with opportunities for growth and impact." That's substantive. Similarly "Who are we?" could be omitted as it's generic. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; we must not lose details like "Gartner offers world-class benefits, highly competitive compensation and disproportionate rewards for top performers." That's captured. Also "We invest in great leaders who bring out the best in you and the company, enabling us to multiply our impact and results." Could be Benefits. Also "Gartner is the world authority on AI" etc. Could be Benefits or About the role? Might be about the company. Could add a bullet under Benefits: "Access to Gartner’s AI research, expertise, and technology." We need to be careful not to invent. We'll include those as bullets. Now produce final HTML. Check for any repeated content: Ensure we don't duplicate. Let's craft About the role paragraph: combine the initial paragraphs about role: "Transform Government...". Actually the first paragraph: "Transform Government. Improve Outcomes. Shape the Future. At Gartner Consulting, we help government leaders tackle their most critical challenges, from modernizing technology and improving service delivery to leveraging technology to achieve mission outcomes. We are seeking an Associate Director, State & Local Government Consulting to lead high-impact engagements for Texas state agencies, local governments, and public sector organizations. This role combines client leadership, delivery excellence, business development, and team mentorship, offering the opportunity to work directly with senior executives on initiatives that impact local communities. If you're passionate about solving complex problems, building trusted executive relationships, and helping public sector organizations transform how they operate, we'd like to talk with you." That's About the role. Now Responsibilities: list from "What You’ll Do As an Engagement Manager, you will be responsible for:" then bullet points. We need to capture each bullet: - Driving Exceptional Consulting Delivery - Lead consulting engagements from project kickoff through successful completion - Manage project scope, quality, risks, financial performance, and client satisfaction - Design and deliver engagements using approved AI-tools - Guide consulting teams in developing actionable recommendations and executive-level deliverables - Build long-term client relationships that create lasting impact - Ensure engagements deliver tangible value and sustainable results - Contributing to Business Growth by: - Identifying opportunities to address emerging client challenges - Supporting proposal development and client presentations - Collaborating with Managing Partners and other Gartner team members - Contributing to consulting offerings and thought leadership - Helping clients understand how emerging technologies, including AI, can support their strategic objectives - Building Community & Developing Future Leaders - Mentor consultants and project managers - Foster collaboration and high performance across consulting teams - Share best practices and lessons learned - Contribute to recruitment and talent development efforts We can flatten into a single list of duties, but better to keep as sub-items? The instruction: Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have nested lists? Probably okay but we can just list each duty as a top-level li. We'll produce a list of all duties. Now Requirements: from "What We’re Looking For: Required Qualifications" bullet list: - 7+ years of experience in IT consulting, government transformation, technology strategy, or related fields - Demonstrated experience leveraging AI-tools to efficiently produce accurate and quality analysis and insights - Previous experience serving state government, local government, higher education, or public sector organizations - Project Management experience - Strong problem-solving, facilitation, and communication skills - Bachelor's degree - Austin-based We should keep Austin-based as a requirement. Now Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications bullet list: - MBA/ MPA or other advanced degree - PMP or other equivalent certifications - Sales experience and/or experience managing executive-level client relationships - Prior system implementation experience Now Skills: maybe we can extract from required qualifications: problem-solving, facilitation, communication skills, etc. But we already have those in Requirements. Could still have Skills section for other skills like "AI-tools proficiency", "Project Management", "Executive relationship building". But to avoid duplication, maybe we combine. However instruction: we can have Skills section separate. We'll include skills not already captured: "AI-tools proficiency", "Project management", "Executive relationship building", "Strategic thinking", "Collaboration and mentorship". But we must not invent. We can pull from text: "Strong problem-solving, facilitation, and communication skills" is already in Requirements. "Demonstrated experience leveraging AI-tools" is also in Requirements. "Project Management experience" also in Requirements. So Skills may be redundant. Perhaps we can omit Skills section if no distinct content. But we need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. If we don't have distinct skills beyond those already captured, we could omit Skills. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can omit Skills if not needed. But we might still want to include Skills for clarity. However we risk duplication. I'd rather omit Skills. Now Benefits: we need to capture all benefits mentioned: - World-class benefits - Highly competitive compensation - Disproportionate rewards for top performers - Hybrid work environment (flexibility to work virtually when productive and get together with colleagues in a vibrant community that is purposeful, engaging and inspiring) - Generous PTO - 401k match up to $7,200 per year - Opportunity to purchase company stock at a discount - Annual bonus plan based on company and individual performance, or role-based uncapped sales incentive plan - Access to unmatched resources, expertise, and technology (AI) - Access to Gartner's world-class research, benchmarks, frameworks, and subject matter experts - Opportunity
