FOIA Specialist

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only sections that have real specific content. We have job posting: includes "What You Will Do" (responsibilities), "What You Will Need" (requirements/qualifications), "What Would Be Nice To Have" (preferred qualifications), "What We Offer" (benefits). Also includes "Job Family Operational Effectiveness (ESA) Travel Required Up to 10% Clearance Required Active Top Secret (TS)" - metadata. Also includes "About Guidehouse" (company description) but that's boilerplate? It's not required but we could include as "About the role"? Actually "About Guidehouse" is company overview; but we might include as "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: About the role (maybe from "What You Will Do"? Actually that's responsibilities). Could have "About the role" summarizing the job description (the first paragraph about DARPA). But we must not repeat job title as heading. We can include a short paragraph about the role (the DARPA description). Then Responsibilities (list). Then Requirements (maybe combine "What You Will Need" as Requirements). Then Qualifications (maybe "What Would Be Nice To Have" as preferred qualifications). Then Benefits (from "What We Offer"). Pay and Schedule: not provided, so we should NOT include those sections. Travel required up to 10% and clearance required: we could fold into a short

maybe under About the role or as metadata. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include a

with "Travel required: up to 10%. Clearance required: Active Top Secret (TS)." Possibly also mention Job Family Operational Effectiveness (ESA). That's minor metadata. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all bullet points from responsibilities, requirements, nice-to-have, benefits. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to avoid boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting includes a lot of boilerplate at the end about Guidehouse EEO, accommodation, etc. We must remove that. Also remove duplicated lines? There's some duplication maybe not. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract substantive content: - Job Family Operational Effectiveness (ESA) - Travel Required Up to 10% - Clearance Required Active Top Secret (TS) - What You Will Do: paragraph about DARPA (the first paragraph). Then "Responsibilities" heading and bullet list. But the posting already has a heading "Responsibilities". We'll keep that as

  Responsibilities

  and then a
  with items. We need to preserve all responsibilities text exactly as given (but we can split into list items). The responsibilities list is a long paragraph with semicolons. We need to turn each bullet into
  • . The original list items are separated by line breaks? Actually they are in a paragraph with line breaks? The text: "Responsibilities include, but not limited to: Respond to complex cases, including litigation and appeals, demonstrating expert knowledge of the FOIA, its exemptions, and the administration of the FOIA, ensuring that records are released according to laws, regulations, and agency policy Receive, log-in, and process FOIA requests, including completing searches for responsive records, conducting submitter notices, coordinating with subject matter experts (SMEs), analyzing records, preparing detailed high-quality responses, and updating FOIA case management tracking systems to ensure that requests are handled in a timely manner, in accordance with DoD guidance Communicate with all levels of public and private organizations to properly process FOIA requests Create and maintain detailed FOIA case files, tracking the status of requests from intake to final response Conduct line‑by‑line reviews and analysis of a variety of records in response to FOIA requests to determine which, if any, FOIA exemptions apply, and redact any withheld information before public release, ensuring that redactions are neat, clear, and accurately indicate exemptions Communicate and collaborate regarding the status and processing of requests, including clarifying requests when necessary, and resolve issues regarding requests in a timely and service‑oriented manner Interpret regulations and agency policy for DARPA personnel, as well as develop and recommend implementation of agency‑level FOIA compliance and program oversight structures in conjunction with the OSD/JS FOID, DARPA Public Affairs Office, and General Counsel as necessary Recommend and implement agency‑wide FOIA policies and procedures, including internal procedures and guidelines, based on new or revised legislation, court decisions, or recommendations Develop and recommend refinements to the agency's FOIA program Develop and apply guidance associated with the Freedom of Information Act, restrictions on dissemination and withholding of records to the public, principles of classification as embodied in Executive Orders, DoD Directives and Instructions, and Security Classification Guides Collect, organize, and analyze qualitative and quantitative data needed for annual reporting of FOIA activities Other duties as assigned" We need to split each sentence after colon? Better to treat each clause separated by line breaks? The original had line breaks after each responsibility? Actually the text shows line breaks after each sentence? It appears each responsibility is on its own line but not marked. We'll split by sentences that start with a capital letter after a period. We'll create list items for each distinct responsibility. Let's list them: 1. Respond to complex cases, including litigation and appeals, demonstrating expert knowledge of the FOIA, its exemptions, and the administration of the FOIA, ensuring that records are released according to laws, regulations, and agency policy 2. Receive, log-in, and process FOIA requests, including completing searches for responsive records, conducting submitter notices, coordinating with subject matter experts (SMEs), analyzing records, preparing detailed high-quality responses, and updating FOIA case management tracking systems to ensure that requests are handled in a timely manner, in accordance with DoD guidance 3. Communicate with all levels of public and private organizations to properly process FOIA requests 4. Create and maintain detailed FOIA case files, tracking the status of requests from intake to final response 5. Conduct line‑by‑line reviews and analysis of a variety of records in response to FOIA requests to determine which, if any, FOIA exemptions apply, and redact any withheld information before public release, ensuring that redactions are neat, clear, and accurately indicate exemptions 6. Communicate and collaborate regarding the status and processing of requests, including clarifying requests when necessary, and resolve issues regarding requests in a timely and service‑oriented manner 7. Interpret regulations and agency policy for DARPA personnel, as well as develop and recommend implementation of agency‑level FOIA compliance and program oversight structures in conjunction with the OSD/JS FOID, DARPA Public Affairs Office, and General Counsel as necessary 8. Recommend and implement agency‑wide FOIA policies and procedures, including internal procedures and guidelines, based on new or revised legislation, court decisions, or recommendations 9. Develop and recommend refinements to the agency's FOIA program 10. Develop and apply guidance associated with the Freedom of Information Act, restrictions on dissemination and withholding of records to the public, principles of classification as embodied in Executive Orders, DoD Directives and Instructions, and Security Classification Guides 11. Collect, organize, and analyze qualitative and quantitative data needed for annual reporting of FOIA activities 12. Other duties as assigned Now "What You Will Need": includes: - An ACTIVE and MAINTAINED "TOP SECRET" Federal or DoD security clearance - Bachelor's degree; FOUR (4) additional years of experience in processing FOIA cases in a federal agency - FIVE (5) or more years of specific experience in processing FOIA cases in a federal agency. Experience should include, but not limited to: - Knowledge of the Freedom of Information Act, including administrative processing, exemptions, submitter notices, and other FOIA processes - Experience utilizing FOIAXpress database (or similar FOIA tracking software) - Possess the energy, experience, and subject matter expertise to demonstrate sound judgment, foresight and problem‑solving skills in a fast‑paced Research & Development (R&D) environment - Possess excellent organizational and communication skills; demonstrating an ability to communicate, interact easily and effectively with a wide variety of individuals and echelons in both written and verbal forms - Possess excellent research and data‑gathering skills with an ability to interpret/analyze complex information within operational R&D environments - Ability to work independently, as well as in a team environment, within the bounds and guidelines of the organization Note there is some redundancy: "Bachelor's degree; FOUR (4) additional years of experience..." and "FIVE (5) or more years of specific experience..." Might be overlapping but we keep both. We could treat "What You Will Need" as Requirements (maybe also Qualifications). The instruction: use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide. Could have Requirements (mandatory) and Qualifications (preferred). But we also have "What Would Be Nice To Have" which is preferred qualifications. Thus we can have:

    Requirements

    (from What You Will Need)

    Preferred Qualifications

    (from What Would Be Nice To Have)

    Benefits

    (from What We Offer) Also maybe

    About the role

    for the DARPA description paragraph. Let's extract About the role: The paragraph after "What You Will Do": "The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has been at the forefront of breakthrough technologies for national security for decades. From the internet and GPS to stealth technology and rapid vaccine development, DARPA drives pivotal, high-impact innovation." That's substantive. Now we need to include metadata: Job Family Operational Effectiveness (ESA), Travel Required Up to 10%, Clearance Required Active Top Secret (TS). We'll put them in a

    maybe after About the role or before Responsibilities. Could be a short paragraph: "

    Job Family: Operational Effectiveness (ESA). Travel required: up to 10%. Clearance required: Active Top Secret (TS).

    " Now Benefits: list from "What We Offer": "Guidehouse offers a comprehensive, total rewards package that includes competitive compensation and a flexible benefits package that reflects our commitment to creating a diverse and supportive workplace.

  • . The text is a run-on sentence with commas and line breaks? We'll split by line breaks as they appear: each benefit appears on new line? In the text they are separated by line breaks? Actually they appear as a list with line breaks?
