About the role
We are seeking a Senior Strategic Communications Specialist to implement and facilitate strategic, operational, and tactical communications that strengthen internal and external messaging and outreach for a national security organization.

- Exceptional Writer & Speaker: Excellent oral and written communication skills.
- Organized Collaborator: Strong organizational and interpersonal skills; able to manage multiple products and stakeholders at once.
Skills
- Proficiency with Adobe Creative Cloud and web content management systems.
- Working knowledge of AP style and Section 508 accessibility requirements.
- Experience with social media management and communications analytics.
- Public affairs or communications professional qualification (e.g., APR).
Qualifications
maybe we need Education + Experience etc. Could be Qualifications section. But we already have Requirements (maybe that's Required Qualifications). The Education+Experience and Clearance etc could go under Qualifications.
Let's decide: Use headings as per list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have used About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills. Need Qualifications (education/experience/clearance/citizenship). Benefits, Schedule.
Thus:
Qualifications
Education & Experience: 12+ years of experience in strategic communications or a similar field; or 8-10 years with a BA/BS; or 6-8 years with an MA/MS/MBA.
Clearance: Active Secret clearance required.
Citizenship: Must be a U.S. Citizen.
Travel: Occasional local and CONUS travel may be required to support meetings, events, and engagements.
But Travel maybe belongs elsewhere; but we can include in Qualifications or maybe separate. However Travel is substantive; we could put under Qualifications or maybe under Schedule? Better under Qualifications as it's a requirement.
We also have Work Location: On-site at the customer facility in Central Maryland. Telework is situational and must be pre-approved by the customer. This is location info; could be part of Overview or maybe a separate section? Not in headings list. Could embed in About the role paragraph? Might be okay to add a paragraph after overview. But we must not invent sections not in list unless needed. The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., meaning those are examples; we can use other headings if needed? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect us to use those headings only. So we should not add extra headings like Work Location. We can incorporate location info into About the role paragraph or maybe into Qualifications? Probably About the role.
Thus modify About the role paragraph to include location: "We are seeking a Senior Strategic Communications Specialist ... On-site at the customer facility in Central Maryland; situational telework only as approved by the customer." Also include disclaimer? The disclaimer about contingent upon award is maybe not needed? It's substantive? It says "This position is in support of a pending proposal. Employment is contingent upon contract award." That is substantive info about contingency. Should we preserve? It's not boilerplate; it's specific to the posting. Should we include? Probably yes. Could add a sentence.
Thus About the role paragraph: include overview plus location and contingency.
Let's craft:
This position is in support of a pending proposal; employment is contingent upon contract award. We are seeking a Senior Strategic Communications Specialist to implement and facilitate strategic, operational, and tactical communications that strengthen internal and external messaging and outreach for a national security organization. The role is on‑site in Central Maryland (Baltimore/Washington corridor) with situational telework only as approved by the customer. You will coordinate marketing communication initiatives, including public relations, special events, advertising, and brand awareness, and maintain communication standards across periodicals, web, publications, presentations, and digital platforms.
Now Responsibilities as above.

Schedule: "Full-time, Monday through Friday, core business hours of 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM ET (40 hours/week)."
Now ensure no duplicated lines.
Let's produce HTML.
Check for any boilerplate: EEO statement removed. Also removed "Who We Are" description about phia (maybe we keep benefits only). The description of phia (company background) is not required for sections; could be omitted as it's not benefits. It's not required to preserve? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The company background is substantive? It describes phia's focus areas. Might be considered substantive but not fitting into headings. Could we include a short paragraph under About the role? Might be too much. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The company background may be considered not essential for the job posting; but it's still substantive. However we have no heading for it; we could incorporate into About the role as a brief
for prose. We must not include cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The EEO statement at end is boilerplate; remove. We must not include duplicated lines. Let's extract content. Overview: "We are seeking a Senior Strategic Communications Specialist to implement and facilitate strategic, operational, and tactical communications that strengthen internal and external messaging and outreach for a national security organization.
