We need to parse content.
Job title: Outbound Church Sales Specialist (not repeated as heading).
We need to include sections:
- About the role: maybe the introductory paragraph(s) describing role and why Lifeway? The posting includes: "Lifeway is seeking an Outbound Church Sales Specialist. In this role you will be responsible for identifying and pursuing new church opportunities and establishing relationships with existing churches to grow and further support their ministry needs with resources that Lifeway offers. This is an excellent position for someone passionate about our mission and wanting to sharpen their selling skills. Why Lifeway? Lifeway is a place where you can bring your faith and work experience to join in the most important mission in the world: making disciples of Jesus Christ. Whether you’re a creator or storyteller, data guru or problem-solver, or anywhere in between, if you’re passionate about serving the church, we have a place for you. Lifeway has a strong Work from Anywhere (WFA) culture that is deeply focused on our mission and values. While headquartered in Nashville, TN, many of our positions are remote-eligible and have autonomy and flexibility with work hours. We provide equipment and resources to ensure team members have access to a productive and ergonomic workspace. We believe building relationships and community is essential to how we work together, so Lifeway hosts all-team meetings several times per year and provides travel for key team gatherings for remote-based team members. Full-time employees are eligible for enrollment in our comprehensive benefits plans including healthcare, vacation and sick time, holiday pay, care days, 401(k) plan, maternity and paternity leave, adoption assistance, mission trip time, and more. If this sounds like a place where you would be excited to serve the kingdom of God, we would love for you to join our team."
Also "About Learn more about our culture at team.lifeway.com/culture-code This is a remote position in the U.S. with occasional travel to Nashville for in-person team gatherings."
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present.
We need to keep substantive info.
We need sections: About the role (maybe combine intro and why Lifeway and remote details). Responsibilities: list bullet points from "Responsibilities" section.
Qualifications: includes Education and Skills, Knowledge, & Experiences (Required and Preferred). We need to separate maybe Qualifications and Skills? The instruction says use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content accordingly.
We have Education (High School Diploma required, Bachelor's preferred, Masters not required, Advanced graduate degree not required). That's qualifications.
Skills, Knowledge, & Experiences (Required and Preferred) -> Skills section.
Benefits: we have benefits listed: healthcare, vacation and sick time, holiday pay, care days, 401(k) plan, maternity and paternity leave, adoption assistance, mission trip time, and more.
Pay: not mentioned. So we should NOT include Pay section.
Schedule: not mentioned (though remote with flexible hours). Not explicit schedule details; we should not create Schedule unless stated. The posting mentions autonomy and flexibility with work hours but not explicit schedule. Probably we should not create Schedule section because it's not explicitly stated as a schedule (like full-time, part-time, shift). The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Benefits is stated, so include Benefits. Pay not stated, so omit. Schedule not explicitly stated (though flexibility mentioned). Safer to omit Schedule.
Requirements: maybe we can combine Education as Requirements? But we have Qualifications heading separate. The instruction list includes Requirements and Qualifications both. We need to decide what goes where. Typically Requirements could be mandatory qualifications (education, experience). Qualifications could be preferred? But we have both. We'll put mandatory items under Requirements: Education (HS diploma required, 1+ years direct sales experience, actively involved in evangelical Christian church). Also maybe "Strong written and verbal communication skills" etc are skills, not requirements. We'll put skills under Skills.
Qualifications could be preferred education (Bachelor's preferred, Masters not required etc) and maybe other preferred qualifications? But we can also put education details under Qualifications. Let's follow: Requirements = mandatory (HS diploma, 1+ years sales experience, church involvement). Qualifications = preferred education (Bachelor's preferred, Masters not required, Advanced graduate not required) plus maybe other preferred? But we also have preferred skills/experience (Microsoft Suite, Oracle, Salesforce, church experience, familiarity with Lifeway resources, bilingual). Those could go under Skills (Preferred) or Qualifications? The instruction separate Skills heading. So we put all skills (required and preferred) under Skills heading, maybe split into required and preferred lists? But we can just list all skills under Skills heading, maybe separate with subheadings? Not allowed; only headings as specified. We can include both required and preferred skills in same list, but we could note required vs preferred in text. That's okay.
Thus:
- About the role: include intro paragraph(s) about role, why Lifeway, remote details, culture link.
- Responsibilities: list bullet points from Responsibilities section.
- Requirements: list mandatory: HS diploma required, 1+ years direct sales experience with demonstrated ability to meet/exceed sales goals, actively involved in an evangelical Christian church. Also maybe "Strong written and verbal communication skills" is required skill but we put under Skills.
- Qualifications: list preferred education: Bachelor's degree preferred, Masters degree not required, Advanced graduate degree not required. Also maybe "High School Diploma required" already in Requirements; we can note that.
- Skills: list required skills: Strong written and verbal communication skills (mentioned twice), Strong consultative and active listening skills, Proficiency navigating multiple software systems simultaneously, Strong organizational and multitasking skills, Highly coachable and adaptable to feedback, process changes, and new product information, Excellent written and verbal communication skills (duplicate), 1+ years of direct sales experience (already in Requirements). Also preferred skills: Experience with Microsoft Suite, Oracle, and/or Salesforce CRM, Previous experience in a church, ministry, or faith-based organization, Familiarity with Lifeway resources, Bible study curriculum, or church ministry products, Fully bilingual and fluent in Spanish and English (written and oral).
We can combine duplicates.
- Benefits: list: healthcare, vacation and sick time, holiday pay, care days, 401(k) plan, maternity and paternity leave, adoption assistance, mission trip time, and more.

About the role
...
Responsibilities
- ... ...
Requirements
- ...
Qualifications

Skills

Benefits

- for any list. It doesn't forbid multiple lists under same heading. We could have two
- under Skills: one for required, one for preferred. But that might be okay. However to keep simple, we can just list all skills in one list, noting required vs preferred in text. But we can also split.
I'll produce two lists under Skills: first
- . We can include both required and preferred in same list, maybe prefix with "(Required)" or "(Preferred)". That's acceptable. Thus Skills list: - Strong written and verbal communication skills (Required) - Strong consultative and active listening skills with the ability to tailor solutions to individual customer needs (Required) - Proficiency navigating multiple software systems simultaneously (Required) - Strong organizational and multitasking skills (Required) - Highly coachable
? Not allowed. Only headings allowed are the specified ones. So we cannot add subheadings. So we must keep within Skills heading only using
