Executive Director for Workforce & Academic Partnerships
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Include section only when posting has real specific content. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to extract substantive info.
Let's parse the posting.
Required Qualifications (as Evidenced By An Attached Resume):
- Master’s degree (foreign equivalent or higher) in business administration, higher education administration, or a related field.
- Five (5) years of full-time experience and demonstrated success in building partnerships with industry partners and developing market-responsive educational programs.
- Experience with leading revenue-generating educational initiatives or business development efforts.
- Strong strategic planning, organizational leadership, and relationship-building skills.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience working in or with research universities in a leadership role.
- Experience managing relationships and leading workforce development initiatives between corporate and university-academic partners.
- Experience building and leading a new enterprise or initiative from concept to operation, including strategic planning, market positioning, and organizational design.
Brief Description Of Duties: includes many bullet-like sentences.
We need to decide sections: maybe "Responsibilities" for duties, "Qualifications" for required and preferred, maybe "Skills" separate? The required qualifications already include skills. Could combine.
We also have "Special Notes": Management Confidential, full-time, FLSA Exempt, minimum salary threshold, cannot sponsor work visas, etc. Also "Salary $215,000 - $250,000". Also "Schedule Full-time". Also "Posting Start Date Sep 22, 2026 Posting End Date Oct 6, 2026, 11:59:00 PM". Also "Job Field Administrative & Professional (non-Clinical)". Also "Primary Location US-NY-Stony Brook". Also "Department/Hiring Area Continuing Professional Online Education". Also "Appointment Type Regular Salary Grade MP3". We need to include Pay and Schedule sections if posting actually states them. Yes salary given, schedule full-time. So we need Pay section with salary range. Schedule section with full-time.
Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly. There's a line: "Visit our WHY WORK HERE page to learn about the total rewards we offer." That's not specific benefits; we should not create Benefits section because no specific content. So omit Benefits.
We also need About the role? Could be a brief summary paragraph. The posting includes a description of duties; we could treat that as Responsibilities. Maybe also an About the role paragraph summarizing role purpose. The posting includes: "Housed in the Division of Continuing, Professional & Online Education and reporting to the Vice Provost, the Director of Workforce & Academic Partnerships serves as the university’s lead business development officer for employer-sponsored education and workforce development programs, curating and developing necessary policy frameworks to guardrail success, and helping academic units develop partnerships and educational programs that will expand Stony Brook’s impact and generate sustainable new sources of revenue." That's a good summary for About the role.
Thus sections: About the role (p), Responsibilities (ul), Qualifications (maybe split into Required and Preferred? Could have subheadings? But only allowed headings are those listed; we could still have
Qualifications
and then inside have Required Qualifications:
... and Preferred Qualifications:
... That's okay.
Skills: Could be included within Qualifications; but we could also have a Skills section extracting skills like strategic planning, organizational leadership, relationship-building. However that duplicates. Better to not create separate Skills if content is covered.
Pay: Pay
$215,000 - $250,000
Schedule: Schedule
Full-time
We also might include Location? Not in allowed headings; could fold into About the role paragraph or a separate maybe not needed. The instruction: do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we could include location and department in a short
under About the role or separate paragraph. But we must not create new headings not listed. So we can add a
for location etc.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all duties, qualifications, etc. Must not omit any substantive detail.
Let's list all substantive info:
From Required Qualifications:
- Master’s degree (foreign equivalent or higher) in business administration, higher education administration, or a related field.
- Five (5) years of full-time experience and demonstrated success in building partnerships with industry partners and developing market-responsive educational programs.
