Corporate FSQA Manager
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. 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. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
Thus we need sections: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (list), Qualifications (list maybe combine required and preferred), Benefits (list), Pay (compensation). Possibly also Skills? But we can incorporate skills within Qualifications. The instruction says we can use Skills heading if there is content. But we have qualifications list includes skills. Could make Qualifications heading and list required qualifications; maybe separate Preferred Experience as a sublist? But we can combine.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO statement, confidentiality note, recruiter contact, application instructions, etc. Also remove "If this sounds like the right opportunity for you, APPLY TODAY..." etc. Also remove "GPAC (Growing People and Companies) is an award-winning search firm..." etc. Also remove "Physical Requirements" maybe? That's substantive? It's about physical demands; could be included maybe under a section? But not listed as allowed headings; we could incorporate into Qualifications or a separate section like "Physical Requirements" but not in allowed list. The instruction says use headings from the list; we could omit Physical Requirements if not fitting. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information. However we could incorporate physical requirements into a
under Qualifications or maybe under About the role. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep that info somewhere. We could add a
under About the role or Qualifications that mentions physical requirements. That's acceptable.
Also need to keep "Maintain required FSMA-related credentials and pursue ongoing professional development" etc.
We must not include duplicated lines.
