OTHRFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate etc.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Job Location: This position will be located at 912 Wildwood Dr. Jefferson City, MO 65109. (Location info; could be included as a short p maybe under a heading? Not required heading; we can include as a p maybe under "About the role"? But we need to decide sections.
- "Why You’ll Love This Position" then description: primary responsibility etc. That's about the role.
- Then list of duties/responsibilities: many bullet-like sentences.
- Then "Minimum Qualifications" with bullet-like statements.
- Then benefits: "The State of Missouri offers an excellent benefits package that includes a defined pension plan, generous amounts of leave and holiday time, and eligibility for health insurance coverage. Your total compensation is more than the dollars you receive in your paycheck. To help demonstrate the value of working for the State of Missouri, we have created an interactive Total Compensation Calculator. This tool provides a comprehensive view of benefits and more that are offered to prospective employees. The Total Compensation Calculator and other applicant resources can be found here."
- Also mention salary: "The salary indicated represents a base pay rate. If the individual selected or the position is eligible for a pay differential (e.g., shift, security, or years of service), it will be added to the total compensation in your paycheck. A pay differential does not raise your base pay."
Thus we have Pay info (salary indicated but not actual number). It says "The salary indicated represents a base pay rate." No actual number given. According to rules: do NOT create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It mentions salary indicated but no actual figure. Is that considered stating? It says "The salary indicated represents a base pay rate." It doesn't give a number. It's vague. Likely we should not create Pay section because no specific amount. The rule: 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. Here they mention salary indicated but not a number; it's still unspecified. So we should not create Pay section.
Schedule: none.
Benefits: they describe benefits package (pension, leave, health insurance, total compensation calculator). That's specific enough. So we should include Benefits section.
About the role: we can have an h3 "About the role" with prose summarizing why you'll love this position and primary responsibility.
Responsibilities: we can list duties as
- .
Requirements/Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications section.
Skills: maybe not explicit; we could omit.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all duties sentences as list items. Also include qualifications statements.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title. No headings for Job ID.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract duties:
From "Why You’ll Love This Position" paragraph: It's more about role; we can treat as prose under About the role.
Then after that: "Support the Department’s mission to promote and protect the health, safety, and well-being of Missourians through professional, ethical, and accountable public service.
Carry out assigned duties in a manner consistent with applicable state and federal laws, regulations, policies, and ethical standards.
Provide oversight in the development and implementation of policies that facilitate efficient operations of the department.
Assess the impact of policy changes on personnel and the resources of the department.
Review and provide recommendations to the Department’s Director on proposed policy changes.
Ensure that communications around policy changes are written in a way that they are understood, adopted, and consistently followed across the department.
Provide oversight of the Department’s strategic planning process.
Provide leadership and direction to department leadership in operationalizing the department’s strategic plan.
Ensure that the department’s strategic plan includes key steps for continuous assessment and improvement.
Provide oversight and direction over the various operational activities of the Department including budgets, human resources, finance, data systems, grants and contract management, emergency coordination and response.
Represent the Department to the Governor’s Office, General Assembly, and State and National organizations.
Advance the Department’s interests at legislative and public hearings and state and national meetings.
Have the ability and awareness necessary to present the Department’s budget requests to the Governor’s Office, State Budget Director, and legislators.
Ensure that appropriate communications between staff and external stakeholder take place on issues related to the operations of the Department.
Work collaboratively across divisions, bureaus, and partner agencies to advance departmental priorities and statewide public health goals.
Perform all duties with an eye towards proactively and systematically enhancing processes, efficiency, and outcomes by fostering a culture where all team members are involved in improving services."
That's a list of duties.
Then: "This job description is intended to describe the general nature and level of work performed. It is not an exhaustive list of all duties, responsibilities, or qualifications. Duties may be modified or assigned as necessary to meet organizational needs, provided they are reasonably related to the employee’s role, skills, and classification." This is boilerplate; we should remove? It's generic; maybe we can drop as it's not substantive? It's a disclaimer; but it's part of job description. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is a generic disclaimer; could be considered boilerplate. I'd drop it.
Minimum Qualifications:
"Bachelor’s degree in public, business, or healthcare administrative, or a closely related field is required.
A master’s degree is preferred.
Management experience in regulatory environment, policy development and implementation.
Experience in the review, interpretation, and application of state and federal laws.
Lack of post‐secondary education will not be used as the sole basis denying consideration to any applicant."
We need to preserve all substantive information; we can put as list.
Benefits:
"The State of Missouri offers an excellent benefits package that includes a defined pension plan, generous amounts of leave and holiday time, and eligibility for health insurance coverage.
Your total compensation is more than the dollars you receive in your paycheck.
To help demonstrate the value of working for the State of Missouri, we have created an interactive Total Compensation Calculator.
This tool provides a comprehensive view of benefits and more that are offered to prospective employees.
The Total Compensation Calculator and other applicant resources can be found here."
Also there is an email: Sarah.Willson@health.mo.gov (contact). That's application instruction? It's contact email; maybe we should drop as application instructions? The instruction: remove application instructions. This is contact email; could be considered application instruction. Safer to drop.
Location: "Job Location: This position will be located at 912 Wildwood Dr. Jefferson City, MO 65109." We can include as a short p maybe under About the role or separate? There's no heading for location; we can just include as a p.
We need to avoid repeating job title. Not needed.
Now decide sections:
- About the role (h3) containing location p and the "Why You’ll Love This Position" paragraph (maybe two paragraphs). We'll include location as a p then the description as p.
- Responsibilities (h3) with ul of duties.
- Requirements (or Qualifications) (h3) with ul of qualifications.
- Benefits (h3) with ul or p? Benefits description is multiple sentences; we can make ul with each benefit point.
We must not create Pay or Schedule.
Now ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now produce HTML.
Let's craft:
About the role
Job Location: This position will be located at 912 Wildwood Dr. Jefferson City, MO 65109.
The primary responsibility of the Deputy Department Director is to provide support to the Department Director in carrying out the vision, mission, and values of the department by providing strategic leadership and direction for Missouri’s statewide public health programs and initiatives that promote, protect, and improve the health and well-being of all Missourians.

As a member of the Department’s executive leadership team, the Deputy Department Director plays a critical role in shaping policy, guiding public health transformation, aligning programs with data-driven priorities, and fostering strong partnerships across local, state, and federal agencies, as well as healthcare providers and community organizations.
But we might split the "Why You’ll Love This Position" paragraph into prose. Actually the first paragraph after that is the "Why You’ll Love This Position" heading but we don't need to replicate heading. We'll just include the text. Now Responsibilities:Responsibilities
