Hybrid$71k–$100k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "The Role In Brief" and "Primary Responsibilities", "Basic Qualifications", "Ideal Qualifications", "Compensation", "Benefits". Also maybe "Location" info? The location is in "This hire may be based in Washington, D.C. or Richmond, VA; this position is also open to remote employment within the continental United States." That's location info; could be part of a short paragraph. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we should only include sections that have real specific content. We have content for: - About the role? The "The Role In Brief" paragraph: could be considered "About the role". We'll use heading

About the role

and then a

with that paragraph. - Responsibilities: "Primary Responsibilities" list. Use

Responsibilities

then
  • each bullet. - Requirements: Could combine Basic Qualifications and Ideal Qualifications? The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Basic Qualifications and Ideal Qualifications. Could put them under

    Qualifications

    with two sub-sections? But we must not invent headings not listed? The allowed headings list includes Qualifications. So we can use

    Qualifications

    and then include both basic and ideal as paragraphs or lists. However we need to preserve all substantive info. Could split into Basic Qualifications and Ideal Qualifications as separate headings? Not in allowed list but maybe okay? The instruction: "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive. But they say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine Basic and Ideal into Qualifications section. We also have Compensation: salary range etc. That's Pay. So

    Pay

    with paragraph. Benefits:

    Benefits

    with list. Location: maybe not needed as separate heading; could be included in About the role paragraph. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, visa sponsorship, etc. Also remove "If you’ve reached this section..." encouragement. Also remove "See how we've been recognized..." etc. Also remove navigation/footer. Also remove "At EAB, we serve not only our partner institutions but each other..." etc. Also remove "For more information, visit our Careers page." Also remove "This opening is not eligible for visa sponsorship..." etc. Also remove EEO statement. We must preserve all substantive information: that includes mission statement? The mission statement is part of About EAB; but maybe we can keep a brief about EAB? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." However we can remove boilerplate like navigation, legal, EEO, scam-warning, duplicated lines. The "About EAB" paragraph is substantive? It describes mission and work. Might be considered substantive. However the instruction says we should not repeat job title as heading, but we can include About EAB as a paragraph maybe under About the role? The "About EAB" is generic company description; could be considered boilerplate? It's not directly about the role but still substantive about employer. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The About EAB is not those. So we should keep it. Thus we will have sections: - About the role? Actually we could have "About EAB" as a paragraph before role details. But the heading examples include About the role. We could use About the role heading and include both the brief role description and maybe the About EAB? But better to follow the structure: About the role heading with the role brief paragraph. Then maybe a separate paragraph for About EAB? Not sure. Given the instruction to prefer few substantive sections, we could have:

    About the role

    ... The Role In Brief paragraph ...

    Responsibilities

      ...

    Qualifications

    Basic Qualifications: ...

    Ideal Qualifications: ...

    Pay

    Compensation details...

    Benefits

      ...
    We might also include location info somewhere, maybe in About the role paragraph after the brief. We need to ensure we don't include headings with empty content. Now extract the content. About EAB paragraph: "At EAB , our mission is to make education smarter and our communities stronger. We work with more than 2,800 institutions to drive transformative change through data-driven insights and best-in-class capabilities. From kindergarten to college to career, EAB partners with leaders and practitioners to accelerate progress and drive results across enrollment, student success, institutional strategy, data analytics, and advancement. We work with each partner differently, tailoring our portfolio of research, technology, and marketing and enrollment solutions to meet the unique needs of every leadership team, as well as the students and employees they serve. At EAB, we serve not only our partner institutions but each other—that's why we are always working to make sure our employees love their jobs and are invested in their communities. See how we've been recognized for this dedication to our employees by checking out our recent awards . For more information, visit our Careers page." We need to remove the "See how we've been recognized..." and "For more information, visit our Careers page." as they are maybe promotional but not boilerplate? They are not EEO etc. Might be considered promotional but still substantive? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Those lines are not those. However they are like a call to action; maybe we keep them? But they are not essential to the role. However they are not prohibited. I'd keep them? But they are like navigation? Not exactly. I'd keep them to preserve substantive information. But we also have "The Role In Brief Associate Director, Launch Consulting As a critical member of the Research Growth Strategy team, the Associate Director, Launch Consulting leads the implementation of Decision Engine dashboards, guiding partners from kickoff through launch while ensuring a high-quality, consultative experience. The role combines project leadership and analytical problem-solving to assess data quality, validate Decision Engine outputs, and help partners understand and effectively interpret their results. Working cross-functionally with Research, Product, Edify Data Engineering, Delivery, and other teams, the Associate Director coordinates complex implementations, drives issues through resolution, and supports the continued evolution and adoption of Decision Engine solutions.

This hire may be based in Washington, D.C. or Richmond, VA; this position is also open to remote employment within the continental United States." We'll put that as the About the role paragraph.

Now Compensation paragraph: "The anticipated starting salary (base) range for this role is $70,500 - $100,000 per year. Actual salary varies due to factors that may include but not be limited to relevant experience, skills, and location. At EAB, it is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the starting salary range for their role. This hire will additionally be eligible for discretionary bonus or incentive compensation. Variable compensation may depend on various factors, such as individual and organizational performance." Now Benefits list: need to extract bullet points from the benefits paragraph. Benefits paragraph: "Consistent with our belief that our employees are our most valuable resource, EAB offers a competitive and inclusive benefits package. Our benefits currently include: Medical, dental, and vision insurance plans; dependents and domestic partners eligible20+ days of PTO annually, in addition to paid firm and floating holidaysDaytime leave policy for community service and flextime for fitness activities (
