Associate Director, Development and Outreach
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.

- Title: FULL-TIME JOB VACANCY ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR, DEVELOPMENT AND OUTREACH Development and Outreach Department Los Angeles Office (Santa Monica) Deadline: Open Until Filled
- The Development and Outreach Department of Human Rights Watch (“HRW”) is seeking applicants for the position of Associate Director to focus on fundraising and outreach events and initiatives in the Los Angeles area. This full-time position will be based in our Santa Monica office and will report to the Los Angeles Director in the Development and Outreach Department. This is a full-time position that will report to the Los Angeles Associate Director. The successful candidate will be expected to work from the Santa Monica office on an average of 3 days a week. Some evening and weekend work will be required for events.
- Responsibilities: list.
- Qualifications: Education, Experience, Related Skills And Knowledge, Other.
- Salary and Benefits: HRW seeks exceptional applicants and offers competitive compensation and employer-paid benefits. The salary range for this position is US $120,000 – 122,000.
- How to Apply: instructions (should be removed as per rule: remove application instructions). So we drop that.
- EEO/diversity statement: remove.
- Description of HRW: maybe considered boilerplate? It's about organization; might be considered substantive? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The paragraph about HRW being an international human rights monitoring... might be considered boilerplate but not EEO. It's descriptive of organization; could be considered part of "About the role"? Might be okay to keep as part of About the role? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The description of HRW is substantive about the organization; but it's not directly about the role. However we could include an "About the role" section summarizing the role description. The "About the role" could include the first paragraph about seeking applicants, location, reporting, schedule. The organization description maybe could be omitted as it's not directly about the role but could be considered "About the organization". The instruction didn't forbid that, but we should prefer few substantive sections. Might include an "About the role" section with the role description. The organization description could be omitted as it's not required. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; if we omit it, we lose info. However the instruction says "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The organization description is not those categories. It's substantive about HRW. So we should keep it. Perhaps we can put it under a section "About the organization" but we only have allowed headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No "About the organization". Could we incorporate it into "About the role"? Possibly as part of role description. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It's examples, not exhaustive? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect those headings only. So we should map content to those headings.
Thus we need sections:
- About the role: include description of position, location, reporting, schedule (3 days a week, some evening/weekend work). Also maybe mention that it's full-time, based in Santa Monica office, reports to Los Angeles Director (and also mentions report to Los Angeles Associate Director? There's some duplication). We'll include the substantive info.
- Responsibilities: list bullet points.
- Requirements: maybe combine Education and Experience? The heading "Requirements" could contain Education and Experience. Or we could have Qualifications heading for education/experience/skills. The list includes Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have to decide.
We have content: Education, Experience, Related Skills And Knowledge, Other (work authorization). Also Salary and Benefits includes salary range and employer-paid benefits.
We also have schedule info (3 days a week, some evening/weekend work) which could go under Schedule section.
Benefits: mention employer-paid benefits (generic). Could be considered Benefits section.
Pay: salary range.
Skills: maybe we can put Related Skills And Knowledge under Skills heading.
Qualifications: maybe Education and Experience under Qualifications.
Other: work authorization could be under Requirements? Or maybe we can include under Qualifications as "Other". But we have limited headings.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not create sections with placeholder text.
Thus we need to decide which sections to include based on actual content.
Potential sections:
- About the role (role description)
- Responsibilities (list)
- Qualifications (Education + Experience)
- Skills (Related Skills And Knowledge + Other like work authorization? maybe)
- Benefits (employer-paid benefits)
- Pay (salary range)
- Schedule (work schedule)
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We must not include application instructions.
We must not include EEO/diversity statement.
We must not include organization description? It's not covered by headings; maybe we can incorporate into About the role as context. That seems okay.
Now we need to format lists with - .
We need to use
for prose.
Let's extract details.
About the role prose:
"The Development and Outreach Department of Human Rights Watch (“HRW”) is seeking applicants for the position of Associate Director to focus on fundraising and outreach events and initiatives in the Los Angeles area. This full-time position will be based in our Santa Monica office and will report to the Los Angeles Director in the Development and Outreach Department. This is a full-time position that will report to the Los Angeles Associate Director. The successful candidate will be expected to work from the Santa Monica office on an average of 3 days a week. Some evening and weekend work will be required for events."
Note there is some duplication: "This full-time position will be based..." and "This is a full-time position that will report to the Los Angeles Associate Director." Actually earlier said report to Los Angeles Director, later says report to Los Angeles Associate Director. Might be a mistake but we preserve both.
We'll combine into a paragraph.
Responsibilities list: Let's extract bullet points from the responsibilities paragraph.
Original responsibilities text:
"Work in partnership with the Los Angeles Director on the fundraising strategy and its implementation; Lead, motivate, and mentor the direct report (the Associate), including communicating clear expectations, setting performance objectives, providing regular and timely constructive feedback, ensuring balanced workload, providing guidance on professional growth, and monitoring staff well-being as it pertains to stress and resilience issues and self-care;Oversee and lead outreach and cultivation events in the city alongside the City Director, including the annual Voices for Justice celebration, briefings, and private dinners and receptions;Manage the Committee and liaise with event consultants;Collaborate with the team to expand and diversify support for the organization by researching, identifying, cultivating, servicing and soliciting new prospects, existing donors, and local Committee members; Oversee Committee communications and initiatives, including advocacy, outreach and fundraising projects, in close partnership with the Associate; Oversee and manage the development and implementation of a strategic plan for the Committee in conjunction with the Executive Committee; Manage the Committee and liaise with event consultants;Oversee gift processing and donor support services in Salesforce, including but not limited to mailings, gift tracking and acknowledgments; Oversee the maintenance of donor lists, fundraising reports, and office and event expenses; Oversee fundraising-specific team processes, including regular team meetings and prospect research;Perform other responsibilities as may be required."
We see some duplication: "Manage the Committee and liaise with event consultants;" appears twice. We should preserve but maybe deduplicate? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplicated lines are to be removed: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove duplicated lines. So we need to deduplicate responsibilities.
Let's list unique responsibilities:
1. Work in partnership with the Los Angeles Director on the fundraising strategy and its implementation.
2. Lead, motivate, and mentor the direct report (the Associate), including communicating clear expectations, setting performance objectives, providing regular and timely constructive feedback, ensuring balanced workload, providing guidance on professional growth, and monitoring staff well-being as it pertains to stress and resilience issues and self-care.

9. Oversee the maintenance of donor lists, fundraising reports, and office and event expenses.

Education: "A bachelor’s degree in international relations, social sciences, communications/marketing, or equivalent work experience is required."

Other: "Candidates should possess valid US work authorization and should not require sponsorship in the future; HRW cannot guarantee the ability to sponsor work authorization for this role."
We could include Other under Skills or maybe under Qualifications? But we have Skills heading; we can put all skills and knowledge plus work authorization under Skills.
Benefits: "HRW seeks exceptional applicants and offers competitive compensation and employer-paid benefits." That's the benefits statement. Could be considered Benefits section.
Pay: "The salary range for this position is US $120,000 – 122,000."
