GIS and Open Data Supervisor (IS Data Supervisor) (Open and Promotional)
County of San Mateo · San Mateo County, CA · 1 mo ago
Information TechnologyFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. No job title heading. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to extract substantive info: description, responsibilities, qualifications, maybe duties list. The posting includes many repeated sentences. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not create sections like Pay, Schedule, Benefits unless present. There's no explicit pay, schedule, benefits. So we should not include those headings.
We need sections: maybe About the role (or summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills (maybe combine). The instructions: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate headings based on content.
We have a description paragraph at start: "The San Mateo County Information Services Department is seeking a well-qualified individual for the position of GIS and Open Data Supervisor (IS Data Supervisor) to join the GIS and Open Data Program team. The ideal candidate will have strong leadership abilities and experience in effectively supervising teams. They should possess a comprehensive understanding of geospatial technologies and open data initiatives. The Supervisor will be responsible for managing the GIS and Open Data Program, overseeing day-to-day operations, and ensuring the timely delivery of geospatial services and successful implementation of open data initiatives. They will also manage the development and maintenance of the County's GIS infrastructure, ensuring optimal performance and data integrity. In addition, they will also oversee the planning, implementation, and management of GIS projects, supporting County departments and stakeholders in their decision-making processes. Under general supervision from an assigned higher-level manager, the GIS and Open Data Supervisor holds a full supervisory-level position and demonstrates independent judgment in diverse, specialized information services functions. They have significant accountability and ongoing decision-making responsibilities associated with the work. The Supervisor organizes and oversees day-to-day activities, projects, and programs for a major section within the division. They provide professional-level support to the management team and supervise staff primarily assigned to enhancing the County's GIS capabilities and promote data-driven decision-making processes."
Then "The ideal candidate for the position will possess:" followed by a list of abilities (many bullet-like sentences). Then "Examples Of Duties" with a list.
Then "Qualifications Education and Experience :" with details.
Then "Licenses and Certifications :" with some statements.
Then "Application/Examination" etc which is boilerplate to remove.
We need to preserve all substantive info, but remove boilerplate like application instructions, tentative recruitment schedule? The schedule includes dates; is that substantive? It's about recruitment schedule; maybe considered metadata but could be considered substantive? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The recruitment schedule might be considered application instructions? It's about final filing date etc. Likely considered application instructions, so remove.
Thus we keep: description, ideal candidate abilities list, examples of duties, qualifications (education/experience), licenses/certifications.
We need to format as HTML with
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate headings based on content.

Thus we keep: description, ideal candidate abilities list, examples of duties, qualifications (education/experience), licenses/certifications.
We need to format as HTML with headings and - for lists,
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we can start with maybe
About the role
containing the initial description paragraphs (maybe combine into one ).
Then
Responsibilities
maybe we could put the duties list there? But we also have "Examples Of Duties" separate. Could combine responsibilities and duties under one heading? The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities (including duties), Qualifications (including education/experience and licenses/certifications), Skills (maybe the ideal candidate abilities list). But we need to avoid duplication.
Let's parse content:
- Ideal candidate abilities list: many bullet points (starting with "Demonstrated ability to supervise..." etc). Those are skills/qualifications.
- Examples Of Duties list: specific duties.
- Qualifications Education and Experience: details.
- Licenses and Certifications: statements.
We could structure:
About the role
... (initial description)
Responsibilities
- ... duties list items
Required qualifications
maybe combine education/experience and licenses/certifications.
But we also have skills list (ideal candidate abilities). Could be under "Required qualifications" as well, but we might separate Skills section.
Given we want few sections, maybe: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (which includes education/experience, licenses/certifications, and ideal candidate abilities). But we need to preserve all detail; we can put them as sub-lists under same section.
But the instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have multiple headings if needed. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe 4 sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills.
Let's assign:
- About the role: initial description paragraph.
- Responsibilities: the "Examples Of Duties" list.
- Qualifications: Education and Experience + Licenses and Certifications.
- Skills: Ideal candidate abilities list.
Check for duplication: The ideal candidate abilities list includes many items that also appear in responsibilities/duties (like supervising, managing infrastructure, etc). But we must preserve all substantive information; duplication is okay if it's in original. However we should avoid repeating same sentences verbatim? The instruction: remove duplicated lines. So if the same sentence appears multiple times in the source, we should only include once. We need to detect duplicates.
Let's extract the ideal candidate abilities list (the bullet-like sentences after "The ideal candidate for the position will possess:").
List:
1. Demonstrated ability to supervise and manage a GIS and Open Data Program, overseeing day-to-day operations and ensuring the timely delivery of high-quality geospatial services and open data initiatives.

- Performs other duties as assigned.
Now note that many of these duties mirror the ideal candidate abilities list (some are almost identical). For example, duty 1 matches ability 1 (supervise and manage...). Duty 2 matches ability 2 (manage development...). Duty 3 matches ability 3 (planning...). Duty 4 matches ability 4 (develop and implement GIS data standards...). Duty 5 matches ability 5 (collaboration...). Duty 6 matches ability 6 (leadership capabilities...). Duty 7 matches ability 7 (conduct research...). Duty 8 matches ability 8 (proficiency in GIS project management...). Duty 9? Not exactly but ability 9 is analytical/problem solving; duty list doesn't have that explicitly. Duty 10? ability 10 communication; duty list doesn't have. Duty 11? ability 11 database management; duty list doesn't have. Duty 12? ability 12 web mapping; duty list doesn't have. Duty 13? ability 13 visualization; duty list doesn't have. Duty 14? ability 14 open data principles; duty list has duty 8 about open data initiatives (similar). Duty 15? ability 15 project management skills; duty list has duty 9 (manage GIS project management activities). Duty 16? ability 16 attention to detail; duty list doesn't have. Duty 17? ability 17 knowledge of standards; duty list doesn't have.
Thus there is significant overlap. The instruction: remove duplicated lines. So we should not repeat the
