Then "Essential Duties And Responsibilities" with bullet points (actually paragraphs). Those are responsibilities.
Then "Qualifications" with Education and Experience.
Then "Notes" about military service substitution, licenses & certifications.
Then "Additional Information" about safety culture.
Then "To Apply" instructions (application process) which we need to remove as per instruction: remove application instructions.
Also remove EEO boilerplate at end.
We need to include sections: About the role (maybe intro), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe Education/Experience?), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have Pay info: Salary Range and Estimated Hiring Range. So we can include Pay section.
Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly. There's safety info but not benefits like health, retirement. So we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does not mention benefits, so omit.
Schedule: Not mentioned. Omit.
Skills: Could extract from responsibilities: executive management, stakeholder engagement, coalition-building, etc. But we need to see if posting explicitly lists skills. It mentions "Success in this role requires strong executive management, stakeholder engagement, and coalition-building skills." Also maybe "exercising independent judgment". We could include a Skills section with those.
Requirements: Might be same as Qualifications? The instruction says we can have Requirements and Qualifications separate. We need to decide what to put where. Usually Requirements could be experience/education, Qualifications could be selective qualifications? But we have Education and Experience under Qualifications heading. We could treat that as Qualifications. Requirements could be maybe "Must possess a motor vehicle operator’s license valid in the state of Maryland." Also maybe "Must be legally authorized to work in the United States". Also maybe "Must meet minimum and selective qualifications". However we need to avoid filler. We'll include Requirements section with those specific items: motor vehicle operator's license, legal work authorization, maybe military service substitution note? But that's a note.
Better: Use Requirements for mandatory items: Education (Bachelor's degree), Experience (15 years, at least 5 years senior management), License (MD driver's license), Work authorization (legally authorized to work in US). Also maybe "Must be able to obtain security clearance"? Not present.
Qualifications could be the same? But we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we treat Qualifications as the Education and Experience, and Requirements as the license and work auth. Or we could combine into one section Qualifications and omit Requirements. But instruction says we can include sections only when posting has real specific content. It's okay to have both if we have distinct content.
Let's extract:
Education: Bachelor’s degree from accredited college/university in public administration, government relations, political science, business administration, communications, planning, engineering, or related field.
Experience: Fifteen (15) years of experience in public transportation, transportation planning, transportation operations, public administration, government, public policy, infrastructure delivery, or closely related field where customer service, community engagement and value-based service were necessary. At least five (5) years of the required experience must have included senior management experience or administrative and supervisory responsibility.
Selective Qualification: none mentioned.
Notes: U.S. Armed Forces military service experience may be substituted for required education and experience on a year-for-year basis.
Licenses & Certifications: Employees assigned duties requiring operation of a motor vehicle must possess a motor vehicle operator’s license valid in Maryland.
Additional Information: safety culture etc (not needed for core sections).
Thus we can create:
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 as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Preserve all substantive info.

About the role
with paragraph summarizing role (maybe the intro paragraphs).
Responsibilities
with - items from Essential Duties And Responsibilities and earlier responsibilities.
We need to preserve all substantive info; we should not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to list each duty as separate
- . The responsibilities list includes many items; we can break them into bullet points.
Let's extract responsibilities from the text:
From earlier paragraph before "Essential Duties And Responsibilities":
- Serve as an executive leader within MTA and as the agency’s executive liaison to the newly established Commuter Services Advisory Board.
- Foster collaboration and communication across agency departments to advance MTA’s mission while overseeing board governance and operations.
- Facilitate the administrative, strategic, cross-functional, and interagency work required to support informed board decision-making.
- Requires strong executive management, stakeholder engagement, and coalition-building skills.
- Regularly engage with the Governor’s Office, the Maryland General Assembly, the Secretary’s Office, advocacy groups, and local government representatives.
- Oversee official board processes, records, and reporting, ensuring compliance with the Maryland Open Meetings Act.
- Support board and subcommittee actions on major plans and priorities.
- Exercise independent judgment in resolving agency issues, directing follow-up, and advancing implementation of MTA’s and the boards’ goals.
- Facilitate informed advisory oversight by the Commuter Services Advisory Board by collaborating with senior MTA staff to inform the Advisory Board about operational metrics, service delivery, contractual relationships, capital projects, and rider satisfaction.
- Advance strategic plans and initiatives for commuter service for board review and input including but not limited to the MARC Growth and Transformation Plan and future major projects initiatives like the Silver Spring Turnback and Amtrak joint benefit projects.
- Work with MTA’s planning team to advance efforts to improve commuter bus service, information sharing, and coordination throughout the state.
- Ensure collaborative review of MTA’s commuter service capital and operating budgets within defined timelines.
Then the "Essential Duties And Responsibilities" section with headings:
- Strategic Leadership & Agency Representation: Supports MTA’s mission, vision, goals, and core values while demonstrating executive leadership and serving as a visible agency representative with internal and external stakeholders, government officials, advocacy organizations, and the business community.
- Board Reporting & Decision Support: Leads board-related reporting, budget reviews and approvals, and other time-sensitive processes by coordinating with subject matter experts to develop accurate data, recommendations, presentations, and clear, decision-ready materials that meet accessibility and reporting requirements.
- Cross-Functional Coordination & Implementation: Partners with operations, planning, finance, legal, communications, external affairs, and project/program leadership to prepare strategic matters for board consideration and ensure board directives and approved actions are assigned, tracked, escalated, and implemented timely.
- Stakeholder & Government Relations: Develops and maintains productive relationships with elected officials, jurisdiction partners, riders, advocacy groups, board members, and other stakeholders while addressing sensitive inquiries, resolving complex issues, supporting advocacy efforts, and representing MTA programs, policies, and priorities.
- Strategic Advisory & Issue Management: Identifies emerging operational, financial, policy, and stakeholder issues requiring board or executive attention; exercises delegated to a decision-making authority; advises the Administrator on risks and recommended actions; and supports board committees, work groups, special initiatives, and other strategic priorities.
- Reports Directly to Executive Leadership: This position reports directly to the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) Administrator, providing high-level support and carrying out key responsibilities and priorities on behalf of the Administrator. This position directly supports MTA’s mission by strengthening governance, coordination, and accountability for Baltimore’s core transit services. As the executive liaison to the Baltimore Core Transit Service Board, the Deputy Administrator helps align Board priorities, agency operations, capital investments, service delivery, and stakeholder engagement so MTA can provide safe, reliable, accessible, and customer-focused transit service to the communities it serves.
We need to preserve all these as bullet points.
We should avoid duplication: some items repeat earlier points; but we must preserve all substantive info, not remove duplicates? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." It doesn't say to deduplicate. So we should include all points, even if similar. However we could combine similar points but that would be summarizing away detail. Safer to keep them as separate bullet points, even if overlapping.
Thus we will create a
with each duty as - . We'll need to parse each sentence.
Let's list them:
1. Serve as an executive leader within MTA and as the agency’s executive liaison to the newly established Commuter Services Advisory Board.
2. Foster collaboration and communication across agency departments to advance MTA’s mission while overseeing board governance and operations.
3. Facilitate the administrative, strategic, cross-functional, and interagency work required to support informed board decision-making.
4. Requires strong executive management, stakeholder engagement, and coalition-building skills. (This is a requirement, but we can still list as responsibility? It's more a requirement. Might be better placed under Skills or Requirements. But it's in responsibilities paragraph. We'll keep as responsibility.)
5. Regularly engage with the Governor’s Office, the Maryland General Assembly, the Secretary’s Office, advocacy groups, and local government representatives.
6. Oversee official board processes, records, and reporting, ensuring compliance with the Maryland Open Meetings Act.
7. Support board and subcommittee actions on major plans and priorities.
