Communications Strategist (Hybrid - La Crosse, WI)

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions. Keep all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro: "Are you ready to join an organization where we focus on People First, have fun at work and make a difference in what we do? Dairyland is proud of our People First culture centered around appreciation, celebrating wins and collaboration. We’ve worked hard to ensure alignment between our culture and our processes and systems, learning and development and rewards and recognition programs. As a team, we work together to leverage the team’s diverse perspectives, ideas and experiences to deliver nothing less than the best. We are collaborative, transparent and committed to our People and their work experience, growth and professional development." That's about culture; could be "About the role" or maybe "About the role" includes purpose and overview. The posting includes "PURPOSE: Supports Dairyland Power Cooperative’s communications and stakeholder engagement efforts..." That's purpose. We also have "Hiring Salary Range: $68,800 - $103,200 Compensation is determined by a combination of factors, including but not limited to education, work experience, and certifications. The actual offer may vary, reflecting the candidate's unique blend of experience, educational background, and skill level". That's Pay. We have "BENEFITS:" list. We have "ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS:" which are responsibilities. We have "MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:" which includes Education & Experience and Knowledge/Skills/Abilities and Physical Demands. We have also "Physical Demands" part. We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. - About the role: could include purpose and overview of role, culture intro. - Responsibilities: essential job functions list. - Requirements: maybe minimum qualifications (education & experience) and physical demands? Or "Requirements" could be education & experience. - Qualifications: maybe knowledge/skills/abilities. - Skills: could be specific skills like writing, editing, etc. But we might combine. We must not create sections with filler. We need to ensure each section has substantive content. We have Pay: salary range. We have Benefits: list. We have Schedule: not mentioned. No schedule info. So we should NOT include Schedule section. We have no explicit "About the role" but we have purpose and culture intro. We'll put that under About the role. Responsibilities: essential job functions. Requirements: Education & Experience (minimum qualifications). Could also include physical demands? Physical demands maybe part of Requirements? But we could put under Requirements. Qualifications: Knowledge/Skills/Abilities (the list). Could also include "Ability to ..." etc. Skills: maybe we could extract specific skills like writing, editing, project coordination, relationship building, etc. But we might combine with Qualifications. However we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can combine Knowledge/Skills/Abilities into Qualifications and not have separate Skills. But the instruction says we can include sections only when posting has real specific content for it. It doesn't require us to use all possible headings. So we can omit Skills if we think it's covered elsewhere. But we need to decide. We have "Strong writing and editing skills using proper grammar, clear sentence construction, journalistic standards and AP style." That's a skill. Also "Excellent verbal, written, digital/social media and interpersonal skills required, as are organizational skills and attention to detail." That's also skill. Could be a Skills section. We could have: - About the role (purpose + culture intro) - Responsibilities (essential job functions) - Requirements (Education & Experience + Physical Demands) - Qualifications (Knowledge/Skills/Abilities) - Skills (maybe we could pull out specific skill bullets from the knowledge/skills/abilities list, but that may be redundant). Perhaps better to not have Skills and instead include those under Qualifications. But we need to follow instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now we need to format lists with

• . For prose, use

  . We must not repeat job title. Not include Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: EEO statement, contact for accommodation, etc. Also remove "Dairyland Power Cooperative is an equal opportunity employer..." and the accommodation line. Also remove "If you are an individual with disabilities..." etc. Also remove "Hiring Salary Range:" line? Actually we need to keep Pay info. So we keep the salary range and compensation determination text. We need to keep Benefits list. Now craft HTML. Let's extract content. About the role: Combine intro paragraph and purpose. Intro: "Are you ready to join an organization where we focus on People First, have fun at work and make a difference in what we do? Dairyland is proud of our People First culture centered around appreciation, celebrating wins and collaboration. We’ve worked hard to ensure alignment between our culture and our processes and systems, learning and development and rewards and recognition programs. As a team, we work together to leverage the team’s diverse perspectives, ideas and experiences to deliver nothing less than the best.

We could merge into About the role. Responsibilities: Essential job functions list (bullet points). Let's extract each bullet. From "ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS:" we have a paragraph then bullet-like sentences each starting with a verb. We'll convert each to

  . Qualifications: Knowledge/Skills/Abilities list. Let's extract each bullet. From "Knowledge/Skills/Abilities:" we have a series of sentences each starting with "Ability to ..." etc. We'll convert each to

We could also include "Physical Demands" under Requirements. Now Benefits: list. Benefits bullet list: "Health & disability benefits (medical, dental, vision, short & long-term disability)Life insuranceGenerous 401(k) and Pension PlansPaid Time OffRobust Wellness ProgramNew Flexible Work ProgramTuition ReimbursementSo much more!" We need to split into items. The text is concatenated without punctuation. We'll separate by each benefit phrase. List: - Health & disability benefits (medical, dental, vision, short & long-term disability) - Life insurance - Generous 401(k) and Pension Plans - Paid Time Off - Robust Wellness Program - New Flexible Work Program - Tuition Reimbursement - So much more! (maybe keep as is) Now Pay: we have salary range and compensation determination. We'll put as

  maybe with two sentences. Pay: "Hiring Salary Range: $68,800 - $103,200. Compensation is determined by a combination of factors, including but not limited to education, work experience, and certifications. The actual offer may vary, reflecting the candidate's unique blend of experience, educational background, and skill level." Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like
