for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The instruction says: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It seems they want those generic headings, but we should map content to appropriate headings. However they also say: Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. We need to include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Thus we need to decide which sections to include. Likely sections: About the role (maybe Position Overview), Responsibilities (Essential Duties and Responsibilities), Requirements (Required Skills and Abilities + Education and Experience?), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Skills (maybe part of Required Skills), Benefits (Compensation & Benefits), Pay (Salary range), Schedule (maybe other requirements about evenings/weekends). Also maybe "Culture" and "Equity" could be omitted? They are not in the list of headings but could be considered "About the role"? However instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine culture and equity into a section like "About the organization" maybe not needed. But they said use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map content to those headings. Thus: -
About the role
: include Organization Overview and Position Overview (maybe combined). Provide prose. -Responsibilities
: Essential Duties and Responsibilities (list). Use- .

Requirements
: Required Skills and Abilities (maybe also Education and Experience). Could combine both Required Skills and Education/Experience as requirements. Use- for list.

. We must not include boilerplate like EEO statements, culture, equity hiring? Those could be omitted as they are not required headings. However they are substantive but not fitting headings; we could maybe include them under About the role? But they are about culture and equity; maybe we can incorporate into About the role paragraph. We must preserve all substantive information; we cannot drop details like "Must pass a background check." That is in Other Requirements; we should include that in Schedule or maybe a separate section like "Other Requirements". But we don't have a heading for Other. Could fold into Schedule or Requirements? Probably include in Schedule section as part of other requirements. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. We must not include duplicated lines. Let's extract content. Organization Overview: The Seattle Social Housing Developer (SSHD) is a Public Development Authority (PDA) committed to creating, owning, and stewarding permanently affordable, mixed-income social housing that is publicly financed, publicly controlled, and free from market speculation. As we lay the foundation for this transformative model, guided by international examples and rooted in public accountability, we are building a team to define a new standard for equitable, sustainable, and community-centered social housing development in Seattle. Our goal is to expand access, strengthen the social fabric of our city, and ensure housing that is affordable forever and inclusive by design for current and future generations.

The Community Engagement Manager also holds community meetings with future residents of SSHD acquisitions and with neighbors near new construction sites, translating SSHD's work into clear, accessible visuals, narrative, and communications materials for audiences that vary widely in class, race, ethnicity, and ability. A central part of the role is power mapping community support in neighborhoods surrounding new construction areas, helping SSHD anticipate concerns, build coalitions, and engage proactively rather than reactively. This role sits within the Communications and Public Affairs Department and works in close partnership with property acquisitions, development, and resident engagement staff to ensure community voice and support are built into SSHD's growth from the earliest stages.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities: (list) - Affirmative Marketing & Outreach Lead deployment of SSHD's Affirmative Marketing Plan, ensuring outreach and lease-up processes equitably reach protected classes and historically underserved communities. Lead lottery pop-up events around the city to raise awareness of, and access to, SSHD's housing opportunities. - Community & Resident Engagement Hold community meetings with future residents of SSHD acquisitions and with neighbors near new construction sites, building trust and communicating clear, accurate information about SSHD's projects. Serve as a visible, approachable point of contact for future residents and surrounding community members throughout pre-development and acquisition phases. - Communications & Storytelling Develop and use visuals, narrative, and other communications mediums such as print, digital, and in-person meetings to translate SSHD's work into accessible information for the communities it serves. Tailor messaging and materials for audiences that vary in class, race, ethnicity, and ability, ensuring communications are inclusive and effective. - Community Power Mapping & Relationship Building Power map community support and opposition in neighborhoods surrounding new construction sites to inform outreach and engagement strategy. Build and maintain relationships with community organizations, resident groups, and local stakeholders to strengthen SSHD's standing and support base. Required Skills and Abilities: (list) - Community Organizing: Demonstrated organizing experience, with a track record of building trust and relationships across diverse communities. - Cross-Cultural Communication: Demonstrated ability to speak effectively to audiences that vary in class, race, ethnicity, and ability. - Communication Skills: Excellent and disciplined written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate complex information into clear, accessible materials and narratives for varied audiences. - Program Development: Strong program development skills, with the ability to design and execute community engagement initiatives from concept to completion. - Adaptability Under Pressure: Demonstrated ability to excel in high-paced, high-conflict environments while maintaining professionalism and sound judgment. - Event Planning & Execution: Demonstrated ability to organize and execute community events for audiences with varying levels of support for SSHD's mission, including logistics, promotion, and facilitation. - Housing Experience: Experience working in housing, affordable housing, or a related field. - Technology Proficiency: Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and familiarity with communications, design, or community engagement platforms.

Other Requirements: - Must pass a background check. - Ability to work evenings and weekends and adjust schedule to support community meetings, lottery pop-ups, and events. - Ability to travel within the Seattle area as needed for meetings, pop-ups, and site visits. - Ability to adapt to shifting priorities and take on additional responsibilities as the role and organization evolve. Our Culture of Constructive Clarity: (paragraph) Building Equity Through Housing and Hiring: (paragraph) plus EEO statement. We need to decide what to include. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The EEO statement is boilerplate; we should remove it. The culture and equity paragraphs might be considered substantive but not fitting headings; we could incorporate them into About the role section as extra description. We must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the culture and equity paragraphs content, but we can embed them in About the role. Thus About the role will include Organization Overview, Position Overview, plus maybe the culture and equity paragraphs. Now we need to output HTML. Structure:
