Director, Policy

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About Silicon Valley Community Foundation", "About The Opportunity", "Job Summary", "Duties And Responsibilities", "Qualifications And Required Skills", "Salary And Benefits". Also "WORK ENVIRONMENT AND PHYSICAL DEMANDS" and "EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY AND INCLUSION" which are boilerplate to remove. Also "Other" etc. We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should drop the EEO section and work environment etc. Also "Other" maybe minor but we can include as part of responsibilities? The "Other" line: "Other Other related duties as assigned. The responsibilities outlined in this job description are not meant to be all-inclusive..." That's generic boilerplate; we can drop it. Also "About Silicon Valley Community Foundation" is descriptive about org; we could keep as a section? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says we should include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. The "About Silicon Valley Community Foundation" is generic org description; maybe we can keep as a brief intro paragraph? Not sure if we need a heading. The instruction says 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. It doesn't forbid having an "About the organization" heading, but the examples list only certain headings. Probably we should include a brief paragraph about the organization without a heading, or maybe under a heading "About Silicon Valley Community Foundation"? The examples didn't list that but they said e.g. About the role, Responsibilities... So maybe we should not create a heading for that; just include it as a

before sections. We need to include sections: About the role? The posting has "About The Opportunity" which includes full-time, exempt, hybrid schedule. That's specific content. So we can make a heading

About the role

(or About the opportunity?). The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). So we should use "About the role". Under that we put the content: full-time, exempt level position in Mountain View, California. Hybrid work schedule details. Also note residency requirement. Then "Job Summary" could be under a heading maybe "About the role" already covers? But we could have a separate section "Job Summary". The examples didn't list Job Summary but we can include if content is substantive. It is a paragraph describing role. Could be under "About the role" or separate. I'd make a separate

Job Summary

. Then "Responsibilities" heading for duties. Use

• . Then "Qualifications" heading for Qualifications And Required Skills. Could split into Education and Experience, Knowledge, Skills. But we can just list as
  with items. Then "Salary And Benefits" heading for salary range and benefits. Also we have hybrid schedule already in About the role; schedule is covered there. So we don't need separate Schedule section. We must not include Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state salary and benefits, so include Benefits section (maybe combine Pay and Benefits). The instruction examples list Pay, Benefits, Schedule as possible headings. We'll make a heading

  Salary and Benefits

  . We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have specific salary range. Now we need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like: hybrid schedule: in-office Tuesdays and Wednesdays every other week, etc. Also note that all team members must be based and hold residency in California. Job Summary: need to keep the paragraph. Duties: need to keep each bullet as listed. There are many bullet points under Duties And Responsibilities with sub-sections: Policy, Advocacy and Government Relations Support; Field Leadership and Strategic Partnerships; External Engagement; Strategy and Grantmaking Support; Other. We'll need to extract each bullet as list items. The original text includes paragraphs under each subheading; we need to convert each sentence into list items? The instruction: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should treat each duty as a list item. The original has headings like "Policy, Advocacy and Government Relations Support" then a paragraph. We could treat each sentence as a list item, but maybe better to keep the subheading as part of the list item? The instruction didn't forbid having headings inside list items. But we could just make each duty a list item, preserving the content. We need to be careful not to lose any detail. Let's extract duties: Under "Policy, Advocacy and Government Relations Support": - Support senior leadership in developing, implementing, and refining SVCF's public policy and advocacy agenda in alignment with the foundation's community impact priorities. - Monitor and analyze relevant local, state, and federal legislation, regulations, budgets, and policy developments; advise senior leadership on implications for SVCF and its partners and recommend response options. - Conduct policy research and prepare policy memos, recommendations, talking points, testimony, advocacy materials, and letters of support or opposition for senior leadership and internal teams. - In coordination with senior leadership, cultivate relationships with elected officials, legislative staff, government agencies, advocacy organizations, and other policy stakeholders and support SVCF's engagement with them. - Apply working knowledge of the rules governing nonprofit advocacy, lobbying, campaign activity, and electoral participation, consulting with legal or compliance colleagues as appropriate.

Under "Other": - Other related duties as assigned. - The responsibilities outlined in this job description are not meant to be all-inclusive and are subject to change. - Employees are expected to be flexible and adaptable, performing other related duties as needed to meet the organization’s evolving goals and priorities. The last three are generic boilerplate; we may drop them as they are not specific. The instruction says remove duplicated lines and boilerplate. So we can drop the "Other" bullet points. Now Qualifications And Required Skills: Education and Experience: - Bachelor’s degree or equivalent relevant experience. - Minimum of seven years of relevant experience in public policy, public affairs, government relations, advocacy, community impact, nonprofit leadership, philanthropy, or a related field. - Experience working with local, state, and/or federal legislative and regulatory processes. - Experience building relationships with elected officials, government staff, advocacy organizations, community leaders, and other stakeholders. - Experience designing and facilitating convenings, briefings, and other stakeholder engagements. - Experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives and coordinating work across teams.

We could also mention that SVCF is committed to offering competitive salaries and comprehensive benefits. Now About the role/hybrid schedule: - Full-time, exempt level position in Mountain View, California. - Hybrid work schedule: SVCF operates on a hybrid work model. All teams are expected to work in the office twice a week, every other week. In-office days are Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Note that there may be times when meetings, events, or other organizational priorities require you to be in the office more frequently than this standard schedule. This structure is designed to support equity, collaboration and consistency while still maintaining flexibility in how we work. SVCF also reserves the right to modify its hybrid work schedule as needed. All SVCF team members must be based and hold residency in California. We need to preserve all that.

We'll keep that as a
