Associate Director of Organizing
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions, EEO etc. Preserve all substantive info. Include a section only when posting has real specific content. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay and Benefits sections only if posting actually states them. The posting includes salary range and benefits: "The salary for this position is between $110,000 - $120,000 depending on experience, with full medical, dental, and vision benefits, 401(k) with up to 3% match, a substantial vacation package, and a monthly personal wellness stipend." So we can have Pay and Benefits sections. Schedule? Not mentioned; no schedule info, so omit Schedule.
We need sections: About the role (maybe a brief description), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills (maybe separate), Benefits, Pay. The posting includes "Who We’re Looking For Qualifications" and "Qualities". Could combine Qualifications and Qualities? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Qualifications and Skills separate. The posting lists qualifications (experience, program design, facilitating workshops, managing staff, etc.) and qualities (movement leader, discernment, etc.). We could treat qualities as Skills? Or maybe separate as Skills. We'll put Qualifications heading for the bullet list of qualifications, and Skills heading for the qualities list. Or we could combine but better to follow instruction.
We need to extract substantive content: The "Opportunity" paragraph describing Essie and role. That's About the role. Then Core Responsibilities (list). Then "Who We’re Looking For Qualifications" (list). Then "Qualities" (list). Then "The Position" includes salary, benefits, location, supervisory info. Also mentions full-time salaried exempt position, supervised by Director of Organizing Programs. That's part of About the role maybe but we can include in About the role or separate? Probably include in About the role as prose.
We must remove duplicated lines: There's duplicate sentence about "Operationalize and strengthen Essie’s membership strategy..." appears twice. We'll keep only once.
Also duplicate "Strengthen feedback loops between organizing data, political strategy, and campaign direction." appears twice. Keep once.
Also duplicate "Design and implement and/or support the design of new and priority organizing/power-building trainings..." appears twice. Keep once.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent.
Let's extract:
About the role prose: Combine the introductory paragraphs: "The Opportunity Essie Justice Group (Essie) is building grassroots power to dismantle the US incarceration system, the most egregious creator of racial and gender injustice of our time. We are a loving and powerful community of women with incarcerated loved ones. Our community includes cisgender women, transgender women, formerly incarcerated women, gender expansive people, elders, and young people. After twelve years of building an active membership across California and beyond, Essie is deepening its base-building and leadership development strategies with the 1 in 4 women with incarcerated loved ones to propel bold decarceration agendas across the nation. We seek to transform the criminal legal system and create a Black feminist future rooted in care, equity, community safety, and liberation. In a period of historic membership growth, Essie Justice Group seeks a strategic, relational, and systems-oriented Associate Director of Organizing steward and deepen our political impact. This role is ideal for a leader who believes in the power of directly impacted women and families to transform systems — and who understands that powerful organizing requires both strong relationships and strong infrastructure. The Associate Director of Organizing brings clarity to strategy, rigor to data and metrics, and care to team culture. They will help operationalize Essie’s member strategy, strengthen engagement and leadership pathways, and ensure our organizing work is aligned with campaign and leadership development priorities and Oakland’s political landscape. This role is for a systems thinker who is both analytical and deeply relational; someone who can assess the strength of our base, refine retention and engagement strategies, and turn member growth into measurable political impact. The ideal candidate is energized by building systems that help people thrive, creating structures that support retention and leadership development, and translating big-picture strategy into grounded, executable plans. They also understand that culture, clarity, and accountability are essential to building a cohesive, politically powerful membership."
Then "The Position" details: full-time salaried exempt, supervised by Director of Organizing Programs, salary range, benefits, location Oakland office. Could be part of About the role or separate section? Since we have Benefits and Pay sections, we could put location and supervisory info in About the role as prose.

You think constantly about how change happens and how that shows up in the people you organize, mentor, and manage. You have a refined ability to make sense of what feels confusing, and bring people along with y (cut off?). The text seems truncated: "bring people along with y". Probably incomplete but we keep as is? Might be a copy error. We'll keep the sentence as given until it ends: "bring people along with y". That seems weird. Maybe it's "bring people along with you". We'll keep as is but maybe it's incomplete. We'll keep the text as provided up to that point.
