HybridFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
The posting includes:
- A Note On How To Reach Us (boilerplate, remove)
- About Foundant (company description) -> could be About the role? Actually "About Foundant" is about company, not role. The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings. Likely "About the role" corresponds to description of role (What You’ll Do). "Responsibilities" could be bullet list of duties. "Requirements" maybe qualifications needed. "Qualifications" maybe education/experience. "Skills" maybe specific skills. "Benefits" maybe benefits described. "Pay" maybe salary? Not present. "Schedule" maybe remote-first etc.
We must not invent sections. Only include if posting has real specific content.
Let's extract:
About the role: Could be "What You’ll Do" section describing role. That's substantive.
Responsibilities: The bullet list under "What You’ll Do" includes Lead Generation, Market Research, Inbound Lead Support, Crm And Data Anylsis, Sales Support And Reporting. Those are responsibilities.
Requirements: Could be "What You’ll Need" bullet list.
Qualifications: Might be overlapping with Requirements; but we can treat "What You’ll Need" as Requirements. Qualifications maybe education: "Currently pursuing a degree in business, marketing, communications, or a related field". Could be separate.
Skills: Could be "Strong written and verbal communication skills", "Analytical mindset", etc. Could be separate.
Benefits: The section "Why You’ll Love Working At Foundant" includes benefits: competitive salary and benefits, tuition, lifestyle reimbursements, bespoke mindfulness and fitness initiatives, Flexible PTO policy, professional development, internal mobility, autonomy, employee recognition. Also mention of merger etc. So we can include Benefits.
Pay: Not specified (no salary). So we should NOT include Pay section.
Schedule: The posting mentions remote-first workplace, flexibility, office locations. That's schedule/location info. Could be considered Schedule. It says "As a remote-first workplace, we believe in offering flexibility and the freedom to work where it suits you best, while staying connected through technology." Also office locations. So we can include Schedule.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to output HTML fragment only, using

So we can include Schedule.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to output HTML fragment only, using for each section heading, - for lists,
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading (not given). No Job ID.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details verbatim? We can paraphrase but must preserve all info. Safer to copy the text as is, but we can format.
We need to avoid boilerplate like equal opportunity etc. Remove EEO lines. Also remove "A Note On How To Reach Us". Also remove application instructions (visit careers page). Also remove "Foundant is an equal opportunity employer..." etc.
We need to keep the rest.
Let's extract sections:
About the role: Could be the paragraph under "About Foundant"? Actually that's about company. But the instruction says About the role. Maybe we should use "About Foundant" as About the role? But they said e.g. About the role. Could interpret as about the role/company. However we have a section "About Foundant" describing company. That seems appropriate for About the role (the role at Foundant). We'll use that.
Thus:
About the role
At Foundant, we build mission-critical software for the social good ecosystem — helping foundations, grantmakers, nonprofits, and community organizations streamline their work, strengthen relationships, and maximize their impact. We serve the giving community worldwide with a comprehensive suite of solutions spanning grant management, community foundation software, and giving analytics. We're a unified company shaped by strong roots across our product portfolio, and we operate with intention and purpose. Our team of ~350 people across six countries is connected by a shared North Star: to be the trusted partner and strategic advisor to the communities we serve.
But that's about company, not role. However we have no other "About the role". Could also combine with "Where You’ll Work". But maybe better to treat "About Foundant" as About the role (the role at Foundant). We'll keep.
Responsibilities: Use bullet list from "What You’ll Do" sub-sections.
We need to include all responsibilities as list items. Could group under each subheading? But we just need a list. We'll create with each responsibility as - . Might be long but okay.
Responsibilities list:
- Lead Generation: Help build and maintain targeted prospect lists for outbound campaigns across targeted segments. This includes sourcing contacts, cross-referencing with the database and preparing lists for upload; Assist in generating leads through email and call outreach, social media prospecting, and research-driven campaign support; Support execution of outbound prospecting activities, including email personalization, LinkedIn research, and other preparation
- Market Research: Conduct research to identify potential clients, markets, and business opportunities within the nonprofit and foundation sector; Analyze industry trends, competitive offerings, and prospect behavior to provide actionable insights to the BDR team; Support BDR territory research by helping to map organizations to AE-owned accounts and flagging new prospects using company tools
- Inbound Lead Support: Assist with managing and routing inbound leads, ensuring timely follow-up and accurate CRM entry in Salesforce; Help track lead-generating activity from events and marketing campaigns and flag high-priority follow-ups for BDRs; Collaborate with the BDR/marketing team by providing input and feedback on demand generation campaigns and activities
- CRM And Data Analysis: Help maintain accurate and up-to-date records in Salesforce, including contact data, account details, and activity logging; Assist with data cleanup projects to improve lead quality and territory routing accuracy
- Sales Support And Reporting: Collaborate with the BDR team to support preparation of outreach materials, messaging frameworks, and campaign sequences; Shadow BDR workflows to learn business development processes/techniques firsthand; Support BDRs in the preparation of regular reports on business development activities, lead generation efforts, and pipeline status for overall team review; Attend team meetings and contribute observations on lead flow, campaign quality, and prospecting trends
We could split each bullet into multiple
- but it's okay to have long
- . We'll keep as separate
- for each major category.
Requirements: "What You’ll Need" bullet list.
List:
- Currently pursuing a degree in business, marketing, communications, or a related field
- Strong written and verbal communication skills — you can write a clear, professional email and hold a conversation with confidence
- Analytical mindset — you’re comfortable gathering data, identifying patterns, and making observations that inform decisions
- Curiosity about technology and a genuine interest in learning B2B SaaS sales from the ground up
- Organized and detail-oriented — you take notes, follow up, and don’t let things fall through the cracks
- Self-motivated and able to work independently in any environment while staying engaged and collaborative with the team
- A competitive drive and a team-player attitude — you want to contribute, not just observe
- High ethical standards and discretion when working with client information and company data
Qualifications: Could be education? Already covered. Maybe we can treat "What You’ll Need" as Requirements and Qualifications as maybe "Currently pursuing a degree..." but that's duplicate. To avoid duplication, we could omit Qualifications section if content overlaps. But instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But headings are fixed. We could put Qualifications as empty? Not allowed. So we need to decide: maybe we treat Requirements as the bullet list, and Qualifications as the education line only. But that would split the list. Better to treat Requirements as the bullet list (including education) and omit Qualifications because no distinct content. However we must not create a section without real specific content. So we will not include Qualifications if no distinct content beyond Requirements.
Skills: Could be the specific skills like "Strong written and verbal communication skills", "Analytical mindset", etc. But those are already in Requirements. Could treat Skills as those same items. But again duplication.
Better to have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Schedule. Omit Qualifications, Skills, Pay.
Check if we have content for Benefits: yes.
Schedule: remote-first, flexibility, office locations.
Let's extract Benefits section from "Why You’ll Love Working At Foundant":
Paragraph: "At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to innovation and making a positive impact. Whether you’re working on projects that empower not-for-profits, community foundations, or corporations, your contributions will help drive real-world change. We offer competitive salary and benefits, including tuition, and lifestyle reimbursements, and bespoke mindfulness and fitness initiatives. With our Flexible PTO policy, you’ll have the freedom to manage your time in a way that supports your personal well-being and professional success. We’re committed to your professional and personal development. With our merger, you'll have the chance to collaborate across teams, giving you exposure to diverse ideas, expertise, and projects that span multiple industries. As part of a larger organization, you’ll have even more opportunities to grow your career. Whether it’s exploring new roles, leadership opportunities, or shifting to a different department, we support internal mobility to help you achieve your career goals You’ll enjoy autonomy and responsibility, empowering you to approach your work creatively and independently, fostering innovation and independent thought. Employee recognition is a core part of our culture. When you do a great job, we make sure everyone knows about it!"
We need to keep all that.
Schedule: from "Where You’ll Work": "As a remote-first workplace, we believe in offering flexibility and the freedom to work where it suits you best, while staying connected through technology. Our global network of talent is supported by physical office hubs and virtual collaboration, fostering a dynamic environment where innovation and growth thrive.With office locations in Bozeman, MT, Toronto, Canada, and Dublin, Ireland, you'll be part of a globally connected team. Whether you're working remotely or from one of our office locations, you'll be contributing to a vibrant, collaborative culture focused on driving meaningful impact across the world."
We'll put that as Schedule.
