Director, Data Center Services
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role? The posting includes description of OTI and role: "The successful candidate will serve as a Director, Data Center Services reporting to the Infrastructure Management division." That's about the role. Could be "About the role". Responsibilities: there is a list after "Responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:" with many bullet-like sentences. Those are responsibilities. Requirements/Qualifications: there is Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Skills sections. Those could be combined into Requirements or Qualifications. The instructions say we can use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide which to use. Probably we can have "Responsibilities", "Minimum Qualifications", "Preferred Skills". Or combine into "Qualifications". But we need to avoid thin sections. The posting has a lot of content for responsibilities, qualifications, preferred skills. Also there is HOURS/SHIFT and WORK LOCATION. Those could go under Schedule and maybe Location? There's no heading for location in the list but we could put under Schedule? Actually schedule heading is for hours/shift. Location maybe could be part of "About the role" or separate? The instruction list includes Schedule as possible heading. It does not include Location. Could we add a heading like "Work Location"? Not in the given examples but we could still use
for any section heading? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive. Probably we should stick to those headings if applicable. Location could be part of "About the role" or maybe we can include under "Schedule"? Not ideal. Could we add a "Work Location" heading? Might be okay as it's a section heading. The instruction didn't forbid other headings, just gave examples. Safer to include only those headings that match content: About the role, Responsibilities, Minimum Qualifications (maybe under Qualifications), Preferred Skills (maybe under Skills), Schedule (hours/shift). Benefits? Not mentioned. Pay? Not mentioned. So we will not include Benefits, Pay.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also must not include application instructions like "Please go to www.cityjobs.nyc.gov and search for Job ID #802352". Must remove that. Also remove "Special Note: Taking and passing civil service exams..." etc. That's application instructions/boilerplate. Must remove. Also remove "SUBMISSION OF A RESUME IS NOT A GUARANTEE..." etc. Also remove "This position is open to qualified persons with a disability..." etc (that's EEO). Also remove "OTI participates in E-Verify". Also remove "Telecommuncation Manager - 82984" maybe that's a job title? Actually appears as a stray line. Must remove.
We need to preserve all substantive information: OTI description, role description, responsibilities list, minimum qualifications, preferred skills, hours/shift, work location.
We need to format responsibilities as - . Minimum qualifications maybe as
- . Preferred skills as
- . Hours/shift maybe as
(since it's prose). Work location maybe as
.
We need to avoid duplication: The responsibilities list includes many sentences; we should keep them as list items.
Check for duplicated lines: The posting repeats some content like "The successful candidate should possess the following:" then list of preferred skills each starting with "- 10+ years of experience...". That's fine.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now construct HTML.
Start with
About the role
then containing OTI description and role description.
OTI description: "The Office of Technology and Innovation (OTI) leverages technology to drive opportunity, improve public safety, and help government run better across New York City. From delivering affordable broadband to protecting against cybersecurity threats and building digital government services, OTI is at the forefront of how the city delivers for New Yorkers in the 21st century. Follow us on social media @NYCOfficeofTech, and visit www.nyc.gov/oti to learn more." That's boilerplate? It's about OTI, maybe considered substantive. It's not navigation/legal. Keep it.
Then role description: "The successful candidate will serve as a Director, Data Center Services reporting to the Infrastructure Management division."
Combine into one paragraph.
Then
Responsibilities
then with each responsibility.
List items from the responsibilities block:
- Manage Server Farm, DMZ, and load balancer network devices over their life cycle from end-to-end, and ensure BOM requests are distributed to meet committed SLAs.
- Create budget approval documents (CP) and bills of material (BOM) with internal and external resources to fund end-to-end equipment upgrades and technology refreshes.
- Maintain and update the multi-year device upgrade list year-to-year.
- Conduct regular 1:1 and team meetings to gather input and feedback for improving group functions.
- Assess team training needs and secure funding or resources for provisioning.
- Provide escalation support for the Operations team during support calls and train staff on repetitive issues.
- Lead and manage proof-of-concept (POC) ideas, deploy test scenarios, and secure required legal approvals.
- Oversee physical rack space, power allocation, and hardware provisioning across data center facilities to ensure optimal infrastructure capacity and uptime.
- Enforce robust data center security standards, compliance audits, and access control protocols for all server rooms and hardware assets.
- Monitor environmental metrics such as cooling, airflow, and temperature to maintain optimal operating conditions and energy efficiency within the server facilities.
- Coordinate with facilities management and vendors to schedule critical maintenance, hardware replacements, and emergency disaster recovery operations.
Check for any duplicated lines: none.
Then Schedule
then containing hours/shift: "HOURS/SHIFT Day - Due to the necessary management duties of this position in a 24/7 operation, the candidate may be required to be on call and work various shifts such as weekends and/or nights/evenings."
Then maybe
Work Location
then containing "WORK LOCATION Brooklyn, NY". But we may incorporate location into About the role? Better to have its own heading. The instruction didn't forbid. We'll include.
Then
Minimum Qualifications
then with each qualification path.
Minimum qualifications text is a bit complex: It includes three options (A, B, C) plus additional requirements. We need to preserve all substantive information. We'll break into list items summarizing each option? But we must not summarize away detail; we need to preserve all detail. Could we keep as paragraphs? The instruction says use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Minimum qualifications is a list of options; we can treat each bullet as a list item. However the text includes "or" and "and". Might be better to keep as
with the whole block? But that would be a large paragraph; still okay. However they said use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Minimum qualifications is a list of requirements, so we should use list.
We need to parse the Minimum Qualifications block:
"A baccalaureate degree from an accredited college including or supplemented by 24 credits in the field of voice and/or data telecommunications or in a pertinent scientific, technical, electronic or related area, and four years of satisfactory fulltime experience in the performance of analytical, planning, operational, technical, or administrative duties in a voice and/or data telecommunications or closely related electronics planning, management, and/or service organization, one year of which must have been in a highly specialized capacity and 18 months must have been in an executive, managerial, or administrative capacity or in the supervision of staff performing work in the voice and/or data telecommunications field; or
An associate degree from an accredited college including or supplemented by 12 credits in the field of voice and/or data telecommunications or in a pertinent, scientific, technical, electronic or related area and five years of experience as described in "1" above; or
Education and/or experience equivalent to "1" above. However, all candidates must have at least a four-year high school diploma or its educational equivalent and one year of the specialized experience as described in "1" above and must possess the 18 months of executive, managerial, administrative or supervisory experience as described in "1" above."
We need to preserve all that. Could break into three list items: each option. Then a separate note about high school diploma etc. But that note applies to all candidates. Could be separate list item.
Let's produce:
- A baccalaureate degree from an accredited college including or supplemented by 24 credits in the field of voice and/or data telecommunications or in a pertinent scientific, technical, electronic or related area, and four years of satisfactory fulltime experience in the performance of analytical, planning, operational, technical, or administrative duties in a voice and/or data telecommunications or closely related electronics planning, management, and/or service organization, one year of which must have been in a highly specialized capacity and 18 months must have been in an executive, managerial, or administrative capacity or in the supervision of staff performing work in the voice and/or data telecommunications field.

However, all candidates must have at least a four-year high school diploma or its educational equivalent and one year of the specialized experience as described in the first option and must possess the 18 months of executive, managerial, administrative or supervisory experience as described in the first option.
That preserves details.
