Development Director

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: 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 as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info. Use

for headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to parse the description. First part: Description Mission: The Link works with youth... That's about the organization. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be a short description of the position. The mission description is about organization, but we can put under "About the role" maybe. However we need to preserve all substantive info. The mission statement is substantive. We'll put under

  About the role

  with

  containing mission and position specifics. But also there is "Position Specifics" with salary range, job type, location, hours/days, note about driving. That includes Pay and Schedule sections. So we need separate sections for Pay and Schedule if they have specific content. Pay: "Hiring Salary Range: $96,004.00-$112,005.00/year based on qualifications". That's specific. So we create

  Pay

  with

  containing that. Schedule: "Job Type: Full-Time, ExemptLocation: North MinneapolisHours/Days: Monday-Friday 9:00-5:00Note: This position requires driving...". So schedule includes hours/days, location maybe? But location could be separate? There's no explicit "Location" heading but we could include under Schedule or maybe under About the role. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we can have Schedule section with hours/days and maybe location. Also note about driving requirement could be under Requirements? Actually driving requirement is a condition: must have valid driver's license, safe reliable vehicle, clear background check, maintain insurance. That's more like Requirements or Qualifications. We'll handle later. Responsibilities: The bulk under "BASIC FUNCTION" and sub-sections: Annual Fund (70%), Staff Support (30%) with subcategories Marketing And Development – Supports Staff..., Grant – Supports Staff..., Corporate And Community Engagement – Supports Staff..., General Development Support, General Responsibilities. We need to extract duties and put into

  • under Responsibilities. Requirements: There's a "Requirements" heading with bullet list of KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES. We'll put those as
    • . Qualifications: separate section with list of qualifications (5-7 years experience, supervisory experience, AB preferred, etc). We'll put under Qualifications. Skills: Could be overlapping with Requirements; but we have both Requirements and Skills sections. The instruction says use headings for Skills if there is real specific content. The posting includes "KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES" under Requirements. That's basically skills. We could treat that as Skills section instead of Requirements. But we already have Requirements heading for things like background check, driving requirement? Actually the "Requirements" section includes knowledge, skills, abilities. There's also a separate "Qualifications". So we can map: - About the role: mission and position specifics (maybe include location? but we have schedule for hours). - Responsibilities: all duties under BASIC FUNCTION and subparts. - Requirements: maybe the driving requirement and background check? But those are also in Position Specifics note. However the note about driving is under Position Specifics, not under Requirements heading. But we could treat driving requirement as part of Requirements (since it's a requirement). However the instruction: Use headings only when posting has real specific content for it. The posting has a "Requirements" heading with list of knowledge, skills, abilities. So we should definitely have a Requirements section with that list. - Qualifications: separate heading with list of qualifications. - Skills: Could be redundant; but we could still include Skills if there is distinct content not covered elsewhere. The knowledge, skills, abilities list could be considered Skills. But we already used Requirements for that list. To avoid duplication, we could omit Skills section if no distinct content beyond what's in Requirements. However the instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine knowledge, skills, abilities into either Requirements or Skills. Since there is an explicit "Requirements" heading, we should use that for the list. Then Skills section may not have distinct content; we can omit. - Benefits: The posting does not mention benefits (like health insurance, retirement). So we omit Benefits. - Pay: we have salary range. - Schedule: we have hours/days, location, job type, driving note maybe. We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract. Mission paragraph: "The Link works with youth and young families to overcome the impacts of poverty and social injustice. Our 23 programs provide supportive housing, intensive case management services, and skills development to youth at risk of or experiencing homelessness, sex trafficking and/or involvement in the juvenile justice system. The Link prides itself on its innovative, youth-centered, strengths-based programming for youth and families as well as programs that are co-designed, implemented and overseen by youth." Position Specifics: "Hiring Salary Range: $96,004.00-$112,005.00/year based on qualificationsJob Type: Full-Time, ExemptLocation: North MinneapolisHours/Days: Monday-Friday 9:00-5:00Note: This position requires driving. To be able to drive on behalf of The Link, candidates must have a valid driver's license, have a safe and reliable vehicle, be able to successfully clear a criminal and motor vehicle background check, and maintain personal insurance at the levels of $100,000 Bodily Injury/Per Person and $300,000 Bodily Injury/Per Accident. Job offer is contingent on having these requirements." We need to separate Pay, Schedule, maybe Requirements (driving). Let's parse: Pay: salary range. Schedule: Job Type, Location, Hours/Days. Also note about driving requirement? That's more a requirement than schedule. But we could include driving requirement under Requirements. Thus Schedule section: include Job Type: Full-Time, Exempt; Location: North Minneapolis; Hours/Days: Monday-Friday 9:00-5:00. We could also note that some weekends and evenings may be required for fundraising events (mentioned later under WORKING CONDITIONS). Actually under WORKING CONDITIONS: "Ability to work some weekends and evenings for fundraising events as needed". That's schedule-related. So we should include that in Schedule. Thus Schedule: Full-Time, Exempt; Location: North Minneapolis; Hours/Days: Monday-Friday 9:00-5:00; Ability to work some weekends and evenings for fundraising events as needed. Now Requirements: The list under "Requirements KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES". We'll capture each bullet. List: - Desire to continuously learn for personal and professional growth - High level of personal and professional integrity, including ability to protect and maintain confidentiality - Ability to work effectively with and relate to diverse populations - Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written - Professional demeanor - Ability to work independently as well as in teams - Demonstrated ability to efficiently organize, coordinate, track and complete multiple tasks as well as adjust to changing priorities - Computer application proficiency, including Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Adobe - Ability to successfully complete a criminal and motor vehicle background check Also note the driving requirement (valid driver's license, safe reliable vehicle, clear criminal and motor vehicle background check, maintain insurance). The background check is already in requirements; driving license etc could be added to Requirements as well. But we already have background check; we can add driving requirement as separate bullet. Thus Requirements bullets include: - Valid driver's license - Safe and reliable vehicle - Ability to successfully clear a criminal and motor vehicle background check (already) - Maintain personal insurance at $100,000 Bodily Injury/Per Person and $300,000 Bodily Injury/Per Accident But we should avoid duplication: background check appears both. We'll keep one. Now Qualifications: list: - 5-7 years of related professional and leadership experience - At least 2-5 years of supervisory experience required, including leading teams - AB in a related field is preferred - Established successful track record in fund-raising - Experience managing successful special events and fundraising efforts - Proven grant writing and editing skills - Expertise in effective use of various media platforms - Proficiency with computer programs including Microsoft Office applications (365), Adobe Creative Cloud, Neon One or others - Proven ability to work on deadline and juggle a variety of responsibilities - Public speaking experience - Proficiency with developing and maintaining a website (WordPress) - Ability to self-motivate in largely unsupervised settings and be detail oriented - Demonstrated proficiency in accurate and persuasive written and verbal communication - Familiarity with social service agency operations, youth homelessness, sex trafficking and juvenile justice system. - Knowledge of local grant-making institutions, foundations, and community resources - Experience working with fundraising committees and annual campaigns preferably in the youth services and/or homeless field - Experience with program evaluation preferably in the youth services and/or homeless field - Experience with mass mailings and knowledge of mass mailing requirements - Knowledge of and experience with web-based communication Now Responsibilities: need to extract all duties from BASIC FUNCTION and sub-sections.
