Associate Director, Strategy
for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have Business Overview (maybe About the role). Position Summary could be About the role. Responsibilities section present. Required Skills & Experience (maybe Requirements/Qualifications). Desired Skills & Experience (maybe Skills). Wage And Benefits (Benefits and Pay). Schedule info (office days). We should not create sections with placeholder text. Must include only sections with real content.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, accommodation, privacy notice, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract content:
Business Overview paragraph(s): "We believe in the power of media to reshape our industry and orchestrate a brand’s entire consumer experience, by balancing both what unites people and what makes them different. When brands unite people in culture, they build Fame, and when brands connect individuals to their unique journeys, they build customer Flow. Initiative builds Fame & Flow for brands like Nike, Amazon, Merck, and T-Mobile. Media responsibility is at the forefront of everything we do, whether it’s creating media plans that reflect the diversity of our communities, promote brand safety, and foster sustainability. Our agency celebrates diversity in an inclusive environment where all of our 6,000+ strong talent across 90+ markets feel seen, heard, and valued. Our vision is to create not only a better media company, but also a better media industry, and maybe even a better world. We make a promise to our people that we double down on seeing, celebrating & elevating all the things that make you, uniquely you. And just as we do for our brands and clients, we connect our people to the journeys that matter in building a meaningful career. There are four I’s in Initiative and these represent our core values and behaviors. INDIVID[YOU]ALITY – you bring your genuine and unique self to and into the work, every day. INSTINCT – you’re tuned in and armed with intelligence; you have a bias for action – shit happens when you’re around. IMPACT! – you care deeply about the impact you have on our clients, their customers, our community, the media landscape and our world at large. IMAGINATION – your ability to imagine and bring to life the ideas, solutions, and the future of Initiative, makes us THE create media agency in the world."
We can keep that as prose under a heading maybe "About the role" or "Business Overview". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can use About the role for Business Overview + Position Summary? But we must not repeat job title as heading. It's okay.
Position Summary: "As an Associate Director of Strategy you are responsible for the development of strategic recommendations that solve client challenges. You will work across all accounts & clients (depending on the Brief ask/rating & the skillset need) and should strive to produce outstanding communications strategies, as recognized through awards, client satisfaction scores and tangible examples of innovation. You will help to strategize, produce and make sense of the key cultural, consumer and market intelligence required to design the best possible holistic communications plan to deliver on that task. You have a passion for people, brands and ideas and an insatiable curiosity for culture in every sense. You believe that brands can & should mean in the world, and are driven by the desire to understand the changing world and people’s subsequent shifting motivations and behaviors. You are responsible for creating the strategic recommendations and engaging with the client in an advisory capacity in conjunction with the Strategy Team. It is not your responsibility to manage the client relationship & you will – by Brief – report to the Client Lead to deliver brilliant strategic thinking for the client team. Creative thinking and sound presentation skills are critical in delivering success in this role. You should produce work that drives re-appraisal of communications and what media can do in the world, and your work should be seen as one of the key levers working to drive the agency forward."
We could combine Business Overview and Position Summary under About the role, but maybe better to have About the role (Business Overview) and then maybe a separate section for Position Summary? The instruction only lists certain headings; we can choose which to include. Could include About the role (Business Overview) and Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Required & Desired Skills), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to list responsibilities as
- . The responsibilities bullet points are given as a paragraph with line breaks? Actually they are a single paragraph with multiple sentences separated by no clear bullet. But we can split them into list items based on the semicolons? The text: "Demonstrate a good understanding of consumers & their behaviors, using qualitative and quantitative communications channel & cultural tool research to develop applicable insights into the consumer connection with the brandCraft strategic narratives that show how the strategy delivers on the business need and focus on results and measurement Bring fresh thinking & inspiration into the Strategic Process to help the teams springboard to better thinking, leading ideation team sessions in conjunction with the Communications Design team and relevant SBUs to generate creative & compelling communications ideasBe considered a valuable contributor during client meetings, providing, for example, research &/or deep understanding of how consumers are interacting with culture (their behaviors & motivations/mindsets)Maintain effective relationships with key strategic partners (vendors, academic institutions, creative consultancies), keeping up to date on their offer & using that information to help the Strategy Team unlock new growth opportunities for the client &/or the agency"
It seems missing punctuation and spaces. We need to preserve all substantive information; we can't split incorrectly. Better to keep as a single paragraph? But instruction says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities are a list; we should format each duty as a list item. We need to parse them.
Let's try to separate by looking at capital letters after lowercase? The string: "Demonstrate a good understanding of consumers & their behaviors, using qualitative and quantitative communications channel & cultural tool research to develop applicable insights into the consumer connection with the brandCraft strategic narratives that show how the strategy delivers on the business need and focus on results and measurement Bring fresh thinking & inspiration into the Strategic Process to help the teams springboard to better thinking, leading ideation team sessions in conjunction with the Communications Design team and relevant SBUs to generate creative & compelling communications ideasBe considered a valuable contributor during client meetings, providing, for example, research &/or deep understanding of how consumers are interacting with culture (their behaviors & motivations/mindsets)Maintain effective relationships with key strategic partners (vendors, academic institutions, creative consultancies), keeping up to date on their offer & using that information to help the Strategy Team unlock new growth opportunities for the client &/or the agency"
We can see each duty starts with a verb: Demonstrate, Craft, Bring, Be considered, Maintain. There's no punctuation between them. We'll split before each capital letter that follows a lowercase letter? Actually after "brandCraft" there is no space. So we can insert a split before "Craft". Similarly after "measurement Bring". after "ideasBe". after "mindsets)Maintain". We'll create list items:
- Demonstrate a good understanding of consumers & their behaviors, using qualitative and quantitative communications channel & cultural tool research to develop applicable insights into the consumer connection with the brand
- Craft strategic narratives that show how the strategy delivers on the business need and focus on results and measurement
- Bring fresh thinking & inspiration into the Strategic Process to help the teams springboard to better thinking, leading ideation team sessions in conjunction with the Communications Design team and relevant SBUs to generate creative & compelling communications ideas
- Be considered a valuable contributor during client meetings, providing, for example, research &/or deep understanding of how consumers are interacting with culture (their behaviors & motivations/mindsets)
- Maintain effective relationships with key strategic partners (vendors, academic institutions, creative consultancies), keeping up to date on their offer & using that information to help the Strategy Team unlock new growth opportunities for the client &/or the agency
That seems reasonable.
Now Required Skills & Experience: "Bachelor’s degree in related field or equivalent work experience6-8 years in integrated planning role in media, creative, innovation or communications discipline (digital, content, invention, social, activation)Ability to think differently: creative & adaptive, entrepreneurial, independently-minded; deeply immersed in cultural understanding and driven by a desire to know more about the world / to better understand people’s motivations & behaviors in the shifting landscape"
Again missing spaces and punctuation. We need to split into list items. Likely three items: Bachelor’s degree..., 6-8 years..., Ability to think differently...
We can split before "6-8 years" after "experience". Actually string: "Bachelor’s degree in related field or equivalent work experience6-8 years in integrated planning role in media, creative, innovation or communications discipline (digital, content, invention, social, activation)Ability to think differently: creative & adaptive, entrepreneurial, independently-minded; deeply immersed in cultural understanding and driven by a desire to know more about the world / to better understand people’s motivations & behaviors in the shifting landscape"
We can split:
- Bachelor’s degree in related field or equivalent work experience
- 6-8 years in integrated planning role in media, creative, innovation or communications discipline (digital, content, invention, social, activation)
- Ability to think differently: creative & adaptive, entrepreneurial, independently-minded; deeply immersed in cultural understanding and driven by a desire to know more about the world / to better understand people’s motivations & behaviors in the shifting landscape
Now Desired Skills & Experience: same text as Required? It repeats: "Ability to think differently: creative & adaptive, entrepreneurial, independently-minded; deeply immersed in cultural understanding and driven by a desire to know more about the world / to better understand people’s motivations & behaviors in the shifting landscape". That's just one item. We could treat as Skills section maybe.
But we might combine Required and Desired into Skills/Requirements. However instruction says we can have sections like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could have Requirements (Required Skills & Experience) and Skills (Desired Skills & Experience). Or we could have Qualifications (Required) and Skills (Desired). Let's decide: Use Requirements for Required Skills & Experience, and Skills for Desired Skills & Experience.
Now Wage And Benefits: "We offer a Total Rewards package that includes medical and dental coverage, 401(k) plans, flex spending, life insurance, disability, employee discount program, employee stock purchase program and paid family benefits to support you and your family. The salary range for this position is posted below. Where an employee or prospective employee is paid within this range will depend on, among other factors, actual ranges for current/former employees in the subject position, market considerations, budgetary considerations, tenure and standing with the Company (applicable to current employees), as well as the employee’s/applicant’s skill set, level of experience, and qualifications."
Then later: "$120,000 Omnicom’s policy requires employees to work in the office for a minimum of three days a week, unless additional in-office days are directed by their agency or manager. Our objective is to increase this requirement over time, and many of our agencies as well as Omnicom’s
for prose. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, accommodation, privacy notice, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
