Associate Vice President - Communications Studio
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use only sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "HOW TO APPLY", "E-VERIFY", "APPLICATION DEADLINE". Also remove "PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS/WORKING CONDITIONS"? That is not a required heading but could be part of Requirements? It's not in list of allowed headings; we should not create a heading for it. We can incorporate relevant info into appropriate sections (maybe Requirements). But we must not invent sections. We can include that info under Requirements as a
maybe. However we must preserve all substantive information. So we need to extract substantive content: About the foundation (maybe About the role? Actually "About this opportunity" is description of role. So we can put that under About the role. Also "About the Foundation" is background about organization; could be part of About the role or maybe we can include as part of About the role. The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to these headings.
We have:
- About the role: description of the position: reporting to chief communications officer, leading team, redesign, etc. Also includes info about TRT, equity, transformation, etc. Also includes "About this opportunity" paragraph. Also includes "About the Foundation" maybe as context but could be included.
- Responsibilities: list of essential job responsibilities (bulleted). Those are many items.
- Requirements: Minimum requirements list (bulleted). Also includes "Ability to travel..." etc. Also includes "Physical requirements/working conditions" maybe as part of Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe the "Five (5) years of progressive experience..." and "Ten (10) years..." are qualifications for higher placement; could be under Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; but we could infer from requirements: creative judgment, brand stewardship, etc. But we should not invent sections unless there is real specific content. There's no explicit "Skills" heading in the posting. So we should omit Skills section if no specific content.
- Benefits: The posting mentions "Benefits" section: "RWJF offers comprehensive health and retirement benefits to employees, generous paid time off, and more. Why work at RWJF? Learn more about the benefits of working at RWJF." Also mentions "Transition stipend". So we have benefits content.
- Pay: Salary info: non-negotiable starting salary $222,240, higher up to $244,420.
- Schedule: The posting mentions hybrid flexible purpose (HFP) explanation. That's about schedule/work arrangement. So we can put that under Schedule.
We must not include headings with filler text like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not include duplicated lines.
We must not include application instructions, EEO, etc.
We must output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences.

Schedule
As of January 1, 2023, the Foundation operates under a Hybrid: Flexible Purpose (HFP) model. On‑site participation is determined by job responsibilities, organizational and team‑level requirements, and mandatory gatherings throughout the year. Employees are expected to plan their time on‑site and cover commuting expenses as needed to meet those expectations.
We must ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "RWJF is an Equal Opportunity Employer." Not included. Check for duplicated lines: we need to ensure we didn't repeat any sentences. Now verify we preserved all substantive information: From About the Foundation: we included some of that in About the role paragraph. Did we miss any specifics? The foundation description includes: leading national philanthropy, dedication to dismantling structural racism, since 1972 developing innovations, funding, convening, advocacy, evidence-building, working side-by-side with communities, three Generational Goals, Guiding Principles, equity, diversity, inclusion, collaboration, inclusive organization, collaborative collegial creative work environment, making a difference. We should include that. Let's incorporate into About the role paragraph. From About this opportunity: reporting to chief communications officer, leading team, redesign, three integrated teams, Studio brings together digital, creative, media relations, messaging, content, sets creative direction, translate strategic priorities, strengthen brand, align people/resources/external partners, opportunity to lead talented team, strengthen across disciplines, raise quality/ambition, shape how RWJF shows up, TRT process, integrate insights, ensure equity reflected, leader helps ensure equity in communications and Studio work, RWJF in transformation, redesign is expression, successful candidate will bring experience leading through transformation, creating clarity, building trust, maintaining high standards, helping colleagues establish new ways of working. We need to include all that. Let's craft About the role paragraph that includes both foundation description and opportunity details. Now Responsibilities: list as given. We need to ensure we capture each bullet exactly as in posting, but we can rephrase slightly? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the detail, not lose any. We can keep the bullet points essentially same wording. Let's extract responsibilities list: - Creative and communications leadership: Set the creative vision and quality standards for RWJF communications, raising the ambition, distinctiveness, and impact of campaigns, content, and experiences. - Integrated communications: Translate priorities established by the Voice Strategy unit into integrated plans across digital, creative, media relations, messaging, content, and experiential channels. - Campaign leadership: Lead high-priority consequential campaigns and initiatives from planning through launch, establishing clear scope, sequencing, responsibilities, resources, and decision points. - Studio leadership: Align Studio capabilities and capacity around the Foundation’s highest-priority work and establish effective workflows and collaboration across disciplines. - Brand stewardship: Steward and evolve RWJF’s brand, ensuring consistency while strengthening its bias toward innovation, bold direction, and meaningful impact. - Judgment and discernment in sensitive situations: Exercise sound judgment and discernment in crisis, internal, and other sensitive communications, bringing calm, discretion, and timely decision-making while working closely with senior leaders and key partners. - People leadership: Build and lead a high-performing multidisciplinary team by setting clear expectations, coaching, and developing staff, and strengthening the capabilities needed for integrated communications. - External partners and budgets: Select and manage agencies, vendors, and other partners and oversee Studio budgets with clear expectations for quality, scope, timing, and cost. - Enterprise partnership: Build trusted relationships across Communications and RWJF, including senior leaders, and provide sound judgment on sensitive, crisis, and internal communications. - Equity and inclusion: Embed equitable and inclusive practices in team leadership, decision-making, partner selection, audience engagement, and communications outcomes. - Perform other duties as assigned.

Also note: "Candidates whose experience exceeds the minimum requirements will be given particular consideration for a higher placement within the salary range:" then two bullet points about 5 years and 10 years progressive experience. Those are qualifications for higher placement; we put under Qualifications. Now Physical requirements/working conditions: we can incorporate as aunder Requirements maybe. Physical requirements: "The associate vice president will perform job duties in a typical business office environment. Specific physical abilities required by this job include operating basic office equipment. The incumbent will be required to attend meetings, both in person and off-site via phone or videoconference. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions." We should keep that. Now Benefits: The posting says: "RWJF offers comprehensive health and retirement benefits to employees, generous paid time off, and more. Why work at RWJF? Learn more about the benefits of working at RWJF. TRANSITION STIPEND A transition stipend is provided to all new hires to aid in costs related to transitioning to a new job." Thus benefits: comprehensive health and retirement benefits, generous paid time off, transition stipend. Now Pay: as above. Now Schedule: Hybrid: Flexible Purpose (HFP) explanation. Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "RWJF is an Equal Opportunity Employer." Not included. Now output HTML. Let's craft. We need to ensure we don't include any extra text outside HTML. Let's produce:
