Associate Director, Government Relations (Administrator I)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must parse the posting. First, remove boilerplate: "Our Commitment To Equity, Diversity, And Inclusion" etc. That's likely part of intro but we need to preserve substantive info. The "Our Commitment..." is about equity etc. Might be considered part of About the role? But we need to decide. We need sections: About the role (maybe a paragraph summarizing role). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (education/experience). Qualifications (maybe preferences). Skills (maybe specific skills). Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "Associate Director of Government Relations". Not to be used as heading. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. We need to drop things like "Our Commitment To Equity, Diversity, And Inclusion" maybe considered EEO boilerplate? It's about equity but could be considered part of commitment. However it's likely boilerplate. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So we should drop that paragraph. Also drop "Black, Indigenous, People of Color, veterans, and those with diverse abilities are encouraged to apply." That's EEO. Also drop "Additional Information" sections like Education Code 89521 Requirements etc. Those are legal/background check etc. Likely boilerplate to drop. Also drop "About Chico State" paragraph describing campus etc. Might be considered not substantive to role? Could be considered About the role? But it's about the university, not the role. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About Chico State" is not exactly those, but could be considered generic info. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information. The description of the university may be considered substantive? Usually job postings include that. But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Might include a brief About the role paragraph summarizing role and maybe mention university. We need to decide what to keep. Let's extract substantive content: Job/Department Summary: Under the general direction of the Chief of Staff, the Associate Director of Government Relations serves as the University's primary staff liaison for state and federal governmental relations and advocacy activities. The position develops and maintains productive relationships with elected officials, legislative staff, government agencies, and higher education partners to advance University priorities and support strategic engagement efforts. The Associate Director monitors legislative, regulatory, and budget developments affecting the University; coordinates institutional advocacy activities and events; and provides analysis, briefing materials, and strategic support to the President, Chief of Staff, and other campus leaders. Working collaboratively with campus leadership, the California State University Chancellor's Office, and external stakeholders, the Associate Director supports efforts to advance public funding priorities, legislative initiatives, and policy objectives that further the University's mission and strategic goals. The position works closely with the California State University Chancellor's Office Offices of Advocacy and State Relations and Federal Relations to support systemwide advocacy initiatives, communicate campus priorities, and coordinate legislative and funding efforts that advance the interests of both Chico State and the CSU system. The Associate Director serves as a resource to campus leadership on governmental affairs, legislative processes, public policy developments, and advocacy opportunities and assists in strengthening the University's visibility, reputation, and relationships among governmental and public-sector stakeholders. That's responsibilities. Required Education And Experience: Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in public administration, political science, public policy, communications, higher education administration, business administration, or a related field. AND Three to five years of progressively responsible professional experience in government relations, governmental affairs, public policy, public administration, higher education administration, community relations, advocacy, legislative affairs, or a related field. Experience working with elected officials, government agencies, legislative bodies, or public-sector organizations is required. Preferences: Preference may be given to applicants with the following as they may be considered specialized skills: Advanced degree in public administration, political science, communications, or a related and relevant field of study. 5+ years of direct professional work experience with state or federal legislative processes, appropriations, governmental funding, or advocacy initiatives. Experience working in public higher education, preferably within the California State University system. Experience preparing executive briefing materials, legislative analyses, or policy recommendations for senior leadership. Demonstrated experience taking a lead role in large-scale organizational change initiatives with strategic impacts. Time Base: Full-time Pay Plan: 12/12 Work Schedule: Mon-Fri 8:00am-5:00pm, Summer: Mon-Thurs 7:00am-5:30pm Anticipated Hiring Range: Anticipated up to $85,000 per year. Salary commensurate with education and experience of the individual selected. Benefits: This position qualifies for benefits including tuition fee waiver (if eligible). CSU, Chico offers a number of benefits to its employees (e.g., sick leave, vacation, health insurance). For more information please visit https://www.calstate.edu/csu-system/careers/benefits/Documents/employee-benefits-summary.pdf Additional Information: Education Code 89521 Requirements etc. Likely boilerplate to drop. About Chico State: description of campus etc. Might be considered not required but could be kept as "About the role"? But it's about the university, not the role. Might be considered extra but not boilerplate. However we need to avoid filler. It's substantive info about the university. Could be included in About the role section as context. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. The Pay section includes "Anticipated up to $85,000 per year. Salary commensurate with education and experience of the individual selected." The phrase "Salary commensurate with education and experience" is filler per instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). So we should not include that phrase. We can keep the specific number: "Anticipated up to $85,000 per year." That's specific. The rest is filler; we can drop it. Similarly Benefits: "This position qualifies for benefits including tuition fee waiver (if eligible). CSU, Chico offers a number of benefits to its employees (e.g., sick leave, vacation, health insurance). For more information please visit ..." That's specific enough? It mentions tuition fee waiver, sick leave, vacation, health insurance. That's substantive. The link is extra but we can keep as maybe a link? The instruction says output only HTML fragment, we can include an tag? Probably okay. But we might keep the sentence. Schedule: "Time Base: Full-time Pay Plan: 12/12 Work Schedule: Mon-Fri 8:00am-5:00pm, Summer: Mon-Thurs 7:00am-5:30pm". That's specific. We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. About the role: maybe a brief paragraph summarizing the role and its purpose. Could use the Job/Department Summary first sentence? But that is more responsibilities. Perhaps About the role could be a short overview: "Under the general direction of the Chief of Staff, the Associate Director of Government Relations serves as the University's primary staff liaison for state and federal governmental relations and advocacy activities." That's from summary. That seems appropriate. Responsibilities: list of duties from the summary: develop/maintain relationships, monitor legislative/regulatory/budget developments, coordinate advocacy activities/events, provide analysis/briefing materials/strategic support, work collaboratively with campus leadership, CSU Chancellor's Office, external stakeholders to advance public funding priorities, legislative initiatives, policy objectives, work closely with CSU Chancellor's Office Offices of Advocacy and State Relations and Federal Relations to support systemwide advocacy initiatives, communicate campus priorities, coordinate legislative/funding efforts, serve as resource to campus leadership on governmental affairs, legislative processes, public policy developments, advocacy opportunities, assist in strengthening University's visibility, reputation, relationships among governmental and public-sector stakeholders. We can bullet those. Requirements: Education and experience required: Bachelor's degree in specified fields; 3-5 years progressively responsible professional experience in government relations etc.; experience working with elected officials, government agencies, legislative bodies, or public-sector organizations required. Qualifications: maybe preferences? Or we could treat preferences as Qualifications. The instruction has separate Qualifications and Skills sections. We could put advanced degree, 5+ years direct experience, experience in public higher education (CSU), experience preparing executive briefing materials, legislative analyses, policy recommendations for senior leadership, demonstrated experience leading large-scale organizational change initiatives as Qualifications. Skills: maybe list specific skills like relationship building, legislative analysis, advocacy, briefing preparation, etc. But we might not have explicit skills list; we could infer from responsibilities. However we should not invent. If no explicit skills, we might omit Skills section. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. So if we don't have explicit skills, we should not create a Skills section. Thus we may have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay section: we will include only the specific number: "Anticipated up to $85,000 per year." Possibly also mention Pay Plan: 12/12? That's part of Time Base. But Pay Plan is about salary schedule? Might be considered part of Pay. However we already have Schedule section for work schedule. Pay Plan: 12/12 likely indicates monthly salary over 12 months. Could be included in Pay section as detail. But it's not a monetary amount. Might be considered part of Pay. We'll include "Pay Plan: 12/12" as part of Pay. Benefits: include tuition fee waiver, sick leave, vacation, health insurance, and link. Schedule: include Time Base: Full-time, Work Schedule: Mon-Fri 8:00am-5:00pm, Summer: Mon-Thurs 7:00am-5:30pm. Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings
