Executive Director, Association Management
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must include sections only if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting.
The posting includes:
- Position Summary (intro paragraph)
- Key Responsibilities (multiple bullet points)
- Required Qualifications (list)
- Preferred Qualifications (list)
- Success in the First Year (timeline)
- Compensation And Benefits (details)
- Why Momentum (description)
- Also maybe "About the role"? Not present explicitly but we have Position Summary which could be "About the role". The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map sections: About the role (position summary), Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities), Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications?), Skills (maybe not separate), Benefits (Compensation And Benefits), Pay (maybe part of compensation), Schedule (maybe not present). We need to include only sections with real content.
We have compensation details: salary range, health, dental, vision, etc. So we can have Pay section with salary range, and Benefits section with benefits details. Or combine? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Pay and Benefits into one Benefits section? But they gave separate headings examples. We could have Pay (Pay
) with salary range, and Benefits (Benefits
) with details. That seems okay.
Schedule: not mentioned. So omit.
Skills: not explicitly separate; maybe we can omit.
Qualifications: we have Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine into Qualifications section with two sublists? Or separate Required and Preferred? The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications. Could have Requirements (Requirements
) for Required Qualifications, and Qualifications (Qualifications
) for Preferred Qualifications. Or vice versa. We'll decide.
Responsibilities: we have Key Responsibilities.
About the role: Position Summary.
Success in the First Year: could be a section maybe "First Year Goals" but not in list of headings. Could we create a custom heading? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings (e.g.). Likely we should stick to those headings. However "Success in the First Year" is substantive; we could incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities? Might be better to make a section "First Year" but not in list. The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, not exhaustive. But they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could add a section for First Year if we want. However to be safe, we could incorporate that content into About the role or Responsibilities. But it's distinct timeline; maybe we can add a section "First Year" as First Year
. It's not prohibited. The instruction didn't say we cannot use other headings; just gave examples. I'd include it.
Why Momentum: could be "About the company" but not in list. Could incorporate into About the role? Might be better to add a section "Why Momentum". But we can also omit if we think it's boilerplate? It's substantive about mission. I'd include as a section "Why Momentum". But the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We already have many sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, First Year, Why Momentum. That's many. Maybe we can combine some.
We could have:
- About the role (Position Summary + Why Momentum)
- Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities)
- Requirements (Required Qualifications)
- Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications)
- First Year (Success in the First Year)
- Compensation and Benefits (combined Pay and Benefits)
That's 6 sections.
Let's do that.
We must not include boilerplate like equal opportunity employer etc. Remove that line.
We must not include application instructions.
We must preserve all substantive information.
