Digital Content Manager
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings. We have overview of position (could be About the role). Essential Functions could be Responsibilities. Education and Experience could be Qualifications (or Requirements). Knowledge, Skills, Abilities could be Skills. Number of Direct and Indirect Reports maybe part of Qualifications? Could be included under Requirements? But we can include as part of Qualifications. Physical Requirements maybe not required heading unless we have a specific section; but we could include under Requirements? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. Physical Requirements is present, but not among the example headings; we could still create a heading? The examples are not exhaustive; we can use any heading but they gave examples. Probably better to include a section for Physical Requirements as Physical Requirements
. But they didn't list it as example; still allowed? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., implying those are examples; we can use other headings if needed. However, they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Physical Requirements is thin but still substantive. Could combine into Requirements or Qualifications. Probably better to include under Requirements or Qualifications. Let's see: Requirements could include education, experience, physical requirements. Qualifications could include knowledge, skills, abilities. But we have both Education and Experience separate; we could put them under Qualifications. The Knowledge, Skills, Abilities could be Skills. Let's decide:
- About the role: overview paragraph(s)
- Responsibilities: Essential Functions (list)
- Qualifications: Education + Experience (maybe combined)
- Skills: Knowledge, Skills, Abilities (list)
- Pay: Starting Salary Range
- (Optional) Physical Requirements: maybe under Requirements? But we already used Qualifications for education/experience; we could add Physical Requirements under Qualifications as well. But to keep sections few, we could have Qualifications include education, experience, physical requirements. However physical requirements is a separate block; we could still include as a
inside Qualifications. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Pay. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from overview, essential functions (list), education, experience, knowledge/skills/abilities, physical requirements, salary range. We must format lists with
- . For prose use
. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Not present. Let's extract content. Overview Of Position (two paragraphs overlapping with earlier). We'll combine into a concise About the role paragraph(s). Keep all details. Essential Functions: many bullet-like sentences separated by periods. We'll turn each sentence into a list item. Education: Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Journalism, Marketing, Film, Media Studies, Public Relations, or related field, or equivalent experience. Experience: Minimum 7 years of experience in content development, editorial management, communications, journalism, media production, or related fields. Minimum 3 years of experience leading creative teams and supervising direct reports in a content, communications, marketing, or media environment. Experience developing stories, scripts, messaging, and content concepts across multiple formats and channels. Experience managing content pipelines, editorial calendars, and content development workflows. Experience supporting multimedia content initiatives, including video, digital, social media, podcast, and long-form storytelling projects. Experience collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders and subject matter experts to develop strategic content initiatives. Experience managing multiple projects, priorities, and deadlines in a fast-paced environment. Experience providing editorial review, content feedback, and quality assurance throughout the content development process. Experience supporting content development from concept through production and delivery. Experience with documentary, nonprofit, advocacy, healthcare, educational, or mission-driven storytelling preferred. Experience supporting original programming, series development, or large-scale content initiatives preferred. Experience conducting story discovery, research, interviews, and narrative development preferred. Number of Direct and Indirect Reports: Direct: Digital Reporters and Video Producers; Indirect: None. Could be included in Qualifications or Responsibilities? Probably under Qualifications as team size. Knowledge, Skills, Abilities: list each sentence. Physical Requirements: list each. Salary: Starting Salary Range: $101,000k - $126,000k / yr. Note weird "k" maybe means thousand? Actually $101,000k would be 101 million? Probably a typo; but we must preserve as given. Now produce HTML. We'll wrap sections in maybe not required. Just output headings and content. Structure:

We might also include Physical Requirements as part of Qualifications or separate. Could add under Qualifications after experience. But we already have a lot. Could add a separate section Physical Requirements but they said prefer few sections. However physical requirements is substantive; we could incorporate into Qualifications as another paragraph. Let's add a paragraph under Qualifications for Physical Requirements. Thus Qualifications will have Education, Experience, Team Leadership, Physical Requirements.

Ensure we didn't include boilerplate like "Easterseals Southern California transforms lives every day..." That's part of overview? Actually the first paragraph is generic about Easterseals; might be considered boilerplate but it's substantive description of organization. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The introductory paragraph about Easterseals is not boilerplate; it's organizational description. Could keep as part of About the role? Might be okay. However the About the role should focus on the role; but we can include it as context. It's not explicitly prohibited. We'll keep it. But we need to ensure we don't repeat the overview paragraph twice (there were two similar paragraphs). We'll combine into one. Let's craft About the role paragraph: Easterseals Southern California transforms lives every day. For over a century, Easterseals has championed inclusion and independence—delivering essential services like early childhood programs, autism services, employment and independent living support to more than 29,000 people each year. Through advocacy and education, we break barriers and create opportunities for the one-in-four Americans with disabilities.
