Hybrid$105k–$120k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications?), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each heading. Use only when content exists. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, duplicate lines, application instructions, EEO, etc. We need to extract relevant content. Let's parse the posting: - Opening boilerplate about payment, fraud, etc. Remove. - "About Monks" paragraph: description of Monks. This is about company, not role. Could be considered "About Monks" but not required heading. The instructions: use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not include "About Monks" unless it's part of "About the role"? Probably not. We can include a brief paragraph about the company maybe as part of "About the role"? But they said do not repeat job title as heading; they didn't forbid other headings. However they said "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So they suggest those headings but not mandatory to only those. But they say "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So we can include sections for those headings if content exists. For "About the role" we have content: "About The Role The Associate Director, Media Strategy leads key strategy and planning workstreams...". So we will put that under

About the role

. Responsibilities: there is a "Responsibilities:" list. We'll extract bullet points. Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: There's "About You The essentials:" list. That includes experience, etc. Could be considered Requirements or Qualifications. We'll decide to put under

Requirements

(or Qualifications). The instructions allow both. We'll choose Requirements. Skills: maybe separate but we can combine. The "About You" includes skills like proficient in media strategy, etc. Could be Skills. But we can put all under Requirements. Benefits: there is a "Benefits What We Offer" list. We'll put under

Benefits

. Pay: there is salary range: "$105,000—$120,000 USD". Also mention compensation range. So we will include Pay section. Schedule: there is mention of Return to Office policy: "This role is subject to our Return to Office (RTO) policy. If you reside within a commutable distance of one of our office locations, you will be expected to work from the office a set number of days per week. The specific details, including the number of required office days, will be in accordance with the company’s then-current RTO policy, which is subject to change from time to time." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal-opportunity, etc. Also remove duplicated lines like "About Monks" repeated later. Also remove the repeated "About Monks" paragraph at end (the long description). Also remove the "We are an equal-opportunity employer..." etc. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the description of Monks? It's about company, not role. Might be considered substantive but not under any heading. Could we include a

about Monks before the role? The instructions didn't forbid extra paragraphs outside headings. They said use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Thus we can keep the "About Monks" description as prose (

    ) maybe before the role section. However there are two "About Monks" sections: one early short paragraph, and later a longer one. The later one is more detailed about Monks as global digital-first etc. That is substantive. We should keep that but avoid duplication. We'll keep the longer one (the later) as it contains more detail. Remove the earlier short one? The earlier short one: "About Monks Monks is a new kind of agency, built from the ground up by award-winning creatives, top data scientists and cutting-edge media people willing to defect from the old agency model to create smarter work. Challenging convention, we bridge the gap between meaningful storytelling, data-led optimization and commerce. A spirit of curiosity, relentless creativity and data-informed decision making define our culture and people." That's also substantive but overlapped with later. To avoid duplication, we can keep the later longer one and drop the earlier short one. Or we could combine but better to drop duplication. Thus final HTML: start with a

    containing the longer Monks description (the one starting "Monks is the global, digital-first, data-driven, unitary operating brand of S4 Capital plc."). Then

    About the role

    with prose from "About The Role ..." up to before "Responsibilities:". Then

    Responsibilities

    with
    • list. Then

      Requirements

      with
      • list from "About You The essentials:" (including BA or equivalent, etc). Also maybe include "Experience in healthcare or other regulated industries is a plus" as a list item. Then

        Benefits

        with
        • list from "What We Offer". Then

          Pay

          with

          containing salary range sentence. Then

          Schedule

          with

          containing RTO policy description. We must not include any filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Check for any duplicated lines: The responsibilities list includes items like "Serve as a lead day-to-day point of contact with media client stakeholders." etc. We'll keep them. Now ensure we strip any application instructions: "Please note that we will never request payment..." removed. Also "As we continue to grow our teams..." removed. Also "While Monks may contact potential candidates via LinkedIn, all applications must be submitted through our official website (monks.com/careers)." removed. Also remove the EEO paragraphs at end: "We are an equal-opportunity employer..." etc. Remove. Also remove the duplicated "About Monks" earlier short paragraph. Now produce HTML fragment. Let's craft. First, the longer Monks description: "Monks is the global, digital-first, data-driven, unitary operating brand of S4 Capital plc. With a legacy of innovation and specialized expertise, Monks combines an extraordinary range of global Marketing and Technology Services to redefine how brands interact with the world. Through Monks.Flow, its flagship AI ecosystem for marketing orchestration, Monks transforms marketing into a growth engine, collapsing timelines and connecting brands to culture in real time.

Additionally, Monks achieved a record-breaking number of FWAs and continues to hold the most of any partner." Now About the role prose: "The Associate Director, Media Strategy leads key strategy and planning workstreams on one of Monks' most important client relationships: owning deliverables end to end and serving as a trusted day-to-day client contact. This requires: Strong ability to build client and platform relationshipsA track record of managing and growing account workstreamsAbility to tell data-driven stories and extract key insights for senior-level clientsFull-funnel understanding of the media landscape across Social, Search, Programmatic/Digital Investment, Holistic Video, OOH, and Direct Partnerships.Experience managing and stewarding career growth for direct reports" Note there are missing spaces after colons? We'll keep as is but maybe add spaces for readability? Must preserve info exactly; we can keep the text as given but we can add spaces where missing? The original had no spaces after colons? Actually original: "Strong ability to build client and platform relationshipsA track record of managing and growing account workstreamsAbility to tell data-driven stories and extract key insights for senior-level clientsFull-funnel understanding of the media landscape across Social, Search, Programmatic/Digital Investment, Holistic Video, OOH, and Direct Partnerships.Experience managing and stewarding career growth for direct reports". It's missing spaces between items. We should preserve exactly; but we could add spaces to make readable? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Adding spaces is not inventing content, just formatting? Might be okay but safer to keep as is. However it's hard to read. I think we can keep as is but maybe add a space after each colon? The original had colon after "This requires:" then the list without spaces. We'll keep exactly. Now Responsibilities list items: - Serve as a lead day-to-day point of contact with media client stakeholders. - Develop go-to-market strategies and integrated, full-funnel media plans informed by rich consumer and industry insights with a laser focus on outcomes. - Lead briefings, brainstorms, presentations and reporting calls to represent and support the team. - Prepare executive-level deliverables on performance, strategic POVs and competitive analysis. - Analyze data, craft insights and make recommendations internally and externally in deck form. - Use AI-enabled tools to accelerate research, insight generation, plan development and reporting. - Maintain executional and performance excellence through ongoing collaboration with Activation, Investment and Data & Measurement teams. - Establish relationships with platform partners to stay current on offerings and maximize media value. - Track and manage the client scorecard to ensure the team is set up to hit performance goals. - Lead and manage 1–3 direct reports; regularly meet to establish priorities and offer guidance and feedback.
