Fish and Wildlife Program Manager
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Advertisement Closes date: 9/26/2026 (11:59 PM ET) req81271 - we can fold minor metadata into short
or drop. Probably include a short paragraph with closing date and req ID. - Fish and Wildlife Program Manager Pay Grade 18 Salary $64,527.60 - $94,892.88 Annually Employment Type EXECUTIVE BRANCH | FULL TIME | INELIGIBLE FOR OVERTIME PAY | 18A | 37.5 HR/WK - Hiring Agency Tourism, Arts, & Heritage Cabinet | Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Resources - Location 1 Sportsman's Lane Frankfort, KY 40601 USA - Description: paragraphs about mission. - Responsibilities and job duties may include... list. - Preferred skills may include... list. - We offer a great package of EMPLOYEE and FAMILY-FRIENDLY BENEFITS, including: list. - Minimum Requirements: EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE/TRAINING/SKILLS, Substitute statements, SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS. - Working Conditions: description. - Probationary Period: mention. - Contact info: Kevin Kelly email. - Equal Opportunity Employer line - we should remove boilerplate EEO? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should drop the "An Equal Opportunity Employer M/F/D". Also drop "Click here for more details on state employment." maybe considered navigation? Probably drop. We need to include sections only when there is real specific content. Potential sections: - About the role: could use the description paragraphs (mission, etc). That's substantive. - Responsibilities: list. - Requirements/Qualifications: could combine Minimum Requirements (education, experience, special requirements) as Qualifications. - Skills: Preferred skills list. - Benefits: list. - Pay: we have salary range and pay grade. So we can include Pay section. - Schedule: we have 37.5 HR/WK, full time, etc. Could include Schedule. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to use
for section headings.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's craft.
First, maybe a short
for metadata: Advertisement Closes 9/26/2026 (11:59 PM ET) Req81271. Could also include location and agency? But location maybe part of About the role? Could include in About.
Better: include a
with the closing date and requisition ID.
Then
About the role
with paragraphs from Description.
Then Responsibilities
with list.
Then Qualifications
maybe combine Minimum Requirements (education, experience, special requirements) and maybe also include Working Conditions? Could be separate.
But we need to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We can choose which to include.
We have:
- Requirements: maybe Minimum Requirements (education, experience, special requirements). Could be Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe Preferred skills? Actually Qualifications often similar to Requirements. But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings allowed. We could put Minimum Requirements under Requirements, and Preferred skills under Skills. Or we could put Education/Experience under Qualifications and Special requirements under Requirements. Let's think.
The posting has Minimum Requirements (education, experience/training/skills, substitute statements, special requirements). That's qualifications. So we could put that under Qualifications.
We also have Preferred skills list - could be Skills.
We have Benefits list.
We have Pay: salary range and pay grade.
We have Schedule: 37.5 HR/WK, full time, etc.
We have Working Conditions and Probationary Period - maybe could be included under About the role or as separate? Not in headings list; we could incorporate into About the role or maybe drop? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include Working Conditions and Probationary Period somewhere. Could add a Working Conditions
but not in allowed headings list? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., implying those are examples, but we should likely stick to those headings only? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those are typical. To be safe, we could incorporate Working Conditions and Probationary Period into About the role or maybe into Responsibilities? Better to add a Working Conditions
and Probationary Period
if needed. But the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should try to combine.
We could add a paragraph under About the role that includes Working Conditions and Probationary Period.
Let's extract Working Conditions: "Considerable time will be spent outdoors working with field management personnel. Extensive travel will be required within the region and throughout the state."
Probationary Period: "This job has an initial and promotional probationary period of 6 months, except as provided in KRS 18A.111."
We can include those as a paragraph after the description.
Now, we need to ensure we don't repeat the job title as a heading. The page already shows it, so we don't add Fish and Wildlife Program Manager
.
We need to not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. We'll include a short
with closing date and req ID.
Now, let's craft HTML.
We'll start with a
for metadata: "Advertisement closes: 9/26/2026 (11:59 PM ET). Req81271."
Then
About the role
with paragraphs: include description paragraphs plus Working Conditions and Probationary Period.
Description paragraphs:
- "Would you like to work alongside people who are passionate about conserving Kentucky’s fish and wildlife resources? Do you want to help create opportunities for people of all ages to experience and enjoy the outdoors through fishing, hunting, boating, recreational shooting, wildlife watching, and other outdoor pursuits?

This individual will bring vision, organization and collaboration skills to support staff and transform agency priorities into meaningful educational experiences across the Commonwealth."
Then Working Conditions and Probationary Period as a paragraph.
Now Responsibilities: list items from "Responsibilities and job duties may include, but are not limited to the following:" then bullet points.
We need to preserve all bullet points exactly.
