Design Studio Manager

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings using

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content. We need to parse the posting. The posting includes: - Intro about Splice (company description). Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe not present. Could treat as "About the role" or "About the company"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose headings that match content. We have: - Position Summary: Seattle, WA (location). Could be part of "About the role" or maybe "Responsibilities". But we have "Essential Functions" which is responsibilities. - Leadership, etc. That's responsibilities. - Skills And Abilities: includes education, experience, etc. That's qualifications/skills. - Benefits: listed. - Pay: compensation range given. - Schedule: not mentioned. So we should not include Schedule section. - Also there is "Physical Demands & Work Environment" maybe not a standard heading; could be omitted or put under "Requirements"? But instruction says only include sections when posting has real specific content for it. We could include a section like "Working Conditions" but not in the list of allowed headings. Probably better to omit or incorporate into "Requirements". However we must preserve all substantive information; we can't drop physical demands. We could include it under a heading like "Requirements" or "Qualifications". But we need to follow allowed headings list; we can still use other headings? The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It gives examples but not exclusive? It says use

for section headings (e.g. ...). Likely we should stick to those headings. But we need to include physical demands somewhere; maybe under "Requirements" as part of job requirements. Could embed as a

inside Requirements. Similarly "Working Relationships" could be part of Responsibilities. We need to avoid boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Remove those lines. We need to preserve all substantive information: company description, position summary, essential functions (leadership, etc.), skills and abilities, benefits, pay. We need to not repeat job title as heading (not given). No Job ID. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft sections: -

About the role

: maybe include company description and position summary (Seattle, WA). Could combine. -

Responsibilities

: include essential functions (leadership, quality control, working relationships, etc.) -

Qualifications

: include education, experience, skills (AutoCAD, Revit, etc.) plus maybe physical demands. -

Skills

: maybe separate skills and abilities? But we have both Qualifications and Skills; we could combine. However we have a "Skills And Abilities" section; we could make that as Skills. -

Benefits

: list benefits. -

Pay

: compensation range. We should not include Schedule. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, we need
  . For qualifications list maybe also
  . For benefits list also
  . For skills list maybe
  . We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep specifics like number of PTO days, holidays, etc. Let's extract details: Company description: "We are Splice. We believe that people with a purpose need a place to be their best. From Seattle-area skyscrapers to the Pacific Northwest’s premier Universities and medical facilities, we design and create insightful spaces with the latest technology, providing our clients an environment that embodies their image and encourages success. Workspace Development is the professional services division of One Workplace, providing FF&E project integration, post-occupancy, and MAC management for some of the most well-known companies in the Seattle area. Splice is committed to the development of empathetic leaders, diversification of talent, and increased representation at every level of our business. We believe in cultivating a culture of inclusion and are dedicated to building and retaining teams by removing unnecessary barriers to employment and providing opportunities for career growth." We can keep that as prose under About the role. Position Summary: "Seattle, WA Essential Functions The Design Manager is a people manager who oversees the day-to-day function of the Splice Design team, providing design services for sites across North America. This position reports to the Design Program Director and is responsible for maintaining a high level of consistency and accuracy, client workplace guidelines, and Code and ADA compliance in all designs that are completed for our client’s portfolio." We could incorporate that into About the role or Responsibilities. Probably better to put location in About the role.

Also competencies list (Decision quality, Optimizes work processes, Builds effective teams, Communicates Effectively). Those could be under Skills or Qualifications. We'll treat them as Skills. Physical Demands & Work Environment: we need to preserve. Could be under Qualifications as a subsection maybe as a

We'll include that as prose. Now produce HTML. We need to avoid boilerplate: EEO statements etc. Remove those lines. We also need to remove duplicated lines: there is a duplicated "Reasonable Accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions." appears twice. We'll keep only once maybe but we can keep one; but it's under Physical Demands. We'll include a single sentence. Now craft HTML:
