Data Governance Specialist
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. The posting includes: Job Summary (could be About the role). Duties & Responsibilities (Responsibilities). Minimum Requirements & Qualifications (Requirements/Qualifications). Preferred Experience & Skills (Skills). Job Conditions (maybe not a standard heading; but we could treat as Requirements? It's more about eligibility; but we have no specific heading for Job Conditions; we could omit or incorporate into Requirements? The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings. We have:
- About the role: could be the Job Summary paragraph(s). We'll put that under About the role
with
About the role
with. - Responsibilities: Duties & Responsibilities section. - Requirements: Minimum Requirements & Qualifications (maybe combine with Qualifications). Could split: Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred?). But we have both Minimum Requirements & Qualifications and Preferred Experience & Skills. We could treat Minimum Requirements & Qualifications as Requirements, and Preferred Experience & Skills as Skills. Or we could have Requirements and Qualifications both. The instruction says use those headings as examples; we can include both Requirements and Qualifications if we have distinct content. Let's do:
Requirements
for Minimum Requirements & Qualifications (the bullet list of education/experience). Use- .
Qualifications
maybe for Preferred Experience & Skills? But Qualifications often similar to Requirements. However we have Preferred Experience & Skills separate; we could treat that as Skills. The instruction includes Skills heading. So we can do:Skills
for Preferred Experience & Skills. We also have Job Conditions (eligibility, etc.) maybe not needed; but could be part of Requirements? Might be considered as Requirements but it's more about eligibility. Could we create a section like "Eligibility"? Not in list. Probably we should omit Job Conditions as it's boilerplate? It contains many eligibility statements; but they are substantive (age, commute, CORI, etc.). However they are somewhat generic but still specific to MBTA. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Job Conditions includes many eligibility requirements that are not exactly boilerplate but could be considered part of the job posting. However they are not in the list of headings we should use; we could incorporate them into Requirements or maybe a separate section like "Requirements" already includes education/experience; we could add anotherRequirements
but we already used that for education/experience. Could we have two sections with same heading? Probably not ideal. Better to incorporate those eligibility points into Requirements as additional list items. Thus Requirements section will include both education/experience and eligibility conditions (age, commute, CORI, etc.). We'll list them as bullet points. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Pay/Benefits/Schedule sections because not provided. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can reformat into HTML. We need to be careful not to include boilerplate like EEO, etc. The Job Conditions includes EEO etc. We should remove those lines. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip out EEO, anti-discrimination, etc. Also remove "Ability to uphold the rights and interests of the MBTA while building and maintaining effective relationships with employees and co-workers." That might be okay? It's not EEO but still generic. Might be considered boilerplate? Safer to remove generic statements that are not specific to the role. However we need to preserve substantive information; many of those are generic eligibility but still part of job conditions. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. It doesn't say remove all generic eligibility statements. But many lines like "Ability to effectively read, comprehend, communicate, and respond to instructions..." is generic but could be considered part of job conditions. Might keep. We'll need to parse the Job Conditions paragraph and keep relevant points, removing any that are clearly EEO or legal boilerplate. Let's extract Job Conditions text: "Ability to effectively read, comprehend, communicate, and respond to instructions, orders, signs, notices, inquiries, etc. in English. Be at least eighteen (18) years of age, except if participating in an approved high school internship / co-op program. Ability to commute to assigned work locations in the Boston, MA metro area, as required by the role. Ability to provide internal and external customers with courteous and professional experiences. Ability to work effectively, independently, and as part of a diverse workforce team (or supervise, if required). Ability to uphold the rights and interests of the MBTA while building and maintaining effective relationships with employees and co-workers. Ability to adhere to rules, regulations, collective bargaining agreements (if applicable), and policies of the MBTA, including the EEO, anti-discrimination, anti-harassment, and anti-retaliation policies. Have a satisfactory work record for the two (2) years immediately prior to the closing date of this posting (unless if current student or recent graduate), including overall employment, job performance, discipline, and safety records (infractions and/or offenses occurring after the closing of the posting and before the filling of a vacancy may preclude a candidate from consideration for selection). Ability to pass a Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) check, comprehensive background screening, and / or medical Clinic screening, potentially including physical examination and drug and alcohol screenings. Ability to work all shifts and / or locations assigned, directed, or necessary for this position, including (for some transit / operations roles) up to twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week as necessary to accommodate severe weather conditions, emergencies, or any other circumstances that may potentially impact service or the safety of service. Intern / co-op staff must be enrolled full or part-time in an accredited educational program and maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5 for the entire duration of the internship / co-op. Additionally, interns / co-ops must have valid work authorization and U.S. Social Security Number prior to starting pre-employment screenings / pre-boarding, working in their positions, and throughout the duration of their program." We need to remove EEO line: "Ability to adhere to rules, regulations, collective bargaining agreements (if applicable), and policies of the MBTA, including the EEO, anti-discrimination, anti-harassment, and anti-retaliation policies." That's EEO boilerplate; remove. Also maybe remove "Ability to uphold the rights and interests of the MBTA while building and maintaining effective relationships with employees and co-workers." Not EEO but could be considered generic; but it's not explicitly listed to remove. Keep? It's somewhat generic but still part of job conditions. I'd keep. Also remove any duplicated lines; none. Now we need to format all content. Let's extract sections: Job Summary (About the role): "The Data Governance Specialist supports the MBTA’s Data Resource Group by coordinating enterprise-wide data cataloging, master data management, data quality, and data governance initiatives.

We'll put that in. Duties & Responsibilities: list items. We need to capture each bullet under Duties & Responsibilities. The text includes several headings within duties: "Data Catalog and Metadata Management:", "Data Governance and Stewardship Enablement:", "Data Quality Management:", "Master Data Management:", "Collaboration and Evangelism:" plus a final line "Perform all other duties and projects that may be assigned. Additional responsibilities may include focus on one or more departments or locations. See applicable addendum for department or location specific functions." We'll turn each bullet into

- for each major duty. The original uses colon headings and then sentences. We'll keep them as is inside
