Grants & Service Development Specialist I

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes a summary and description. We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have content for responsibilities (the detailed duties). We have qualifications (education, experience). We have skills/knowledge (knowledge, skills & abilities). We have benefits (list). Pay: they have Pay Range $0.00--$0.00 which is placeholder; we should NOT create Pay section because it's placeholder (0.00--0.00). Schedule: they have Time Type Full time; that's schedule info. Should we include Schedule? The posting says "Time Type Full time". That's specific content (Full time). So we can include Schedule section with that. However we must avoid filler like "not specified". Full time is specific. So include Schedule. We should not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, disclaimer, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, etc. The posting includes a disclaimer about duties not comprehensive; we should remove that. Also remove "Centerstone is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "Centerstone is also committed to a strong culture..." etc. Those are boilerplate. We need to preserve all substantive information: summary, responsibilities broken into sub-sections? The instructions: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use

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

  for prose. We need to decide which headings to use. Likely we will have: - About the role (summary) - Responsibilities (duties) - Qualifications (education, experience) - Skills (knowledge, skills & abilities) - Benefits - Schedule We should not include Requirements separate if we have Qualifications; but we can combine. The instruction list includes Requirements as possible heading; but we can use Qualifications. We need to ensure we don't create empty sections. Let's extract content. Summary: "Supports the development and submission of competitive grant and contract proposals that advance Centerstone’s strategic and service priorities. Assists with and conducts research, drafting, formatting, and coordinating of proposal components. Contributes to business development, pre-proposal assessment, and proposal preparation activities. This role partners with team leadership and staff to ensure proposals are competitive, compliant, and aligned with enterprise goals. Exercises strong technical writing, analytical, and project management skills to produce proposals that meet funder specifications and internal standards for excellence." That's prose; we can put in

  under About the role. Responsibilities: The posting has several sub-sections: Business Development & Pre-Proposal Planning, Proposal Development & Submission, Research, Writing & Data Integration, Post-Submission & Continuous Improvement, Administrative Coordination & Team Support. Each contains bullet-like sentences (some are sentences). We need to turn each duty into

• items. Could group under Responsibilities heading with a
  containing all duties. Or we could keep subheadings but instruction only allows

  for section headings; we could still use

  for sub-sections? 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 to be safe we just use one Responsibilities section with list items. We need to preserve all substantive information; we can break into multiple

  under Responsibilities? Probably okay to have one
  with many
  • . We'll extract each duty sentence. Let's list duties from each subsection: Business Development & Pre-Proposal Planning: - Reviews funding announcements and gathers relevant information to support identification of opportunities aligned with organizational priorities. - Utilizes internal assessment tools to evaluate opportunity fit and prepare concise recommendations or summaries to support informed pursuit decisions. - Conducts research on funders, prior awards, and competitive landscapes to inform team decision-making. - Compiles data and reference materials from reliable sources (e.g., public databases, agency budgets, prior proposals). - Participates in pre-proposal and Initial meetings, taking notes and tracking assigned follow-up actions. - Tracks funding cycles, deadlines, and pipeline activity to support proactive planning and readiness.

Research, Writing & Data Integration: - Conducts research to collect accurate data, statistics, and citations for use in proposal narratives. - Organizes and presents data clearly using charts, graphs, and visuals that enhance readability and reviewer engagement. - Verifies sources for accuracy and credibility; ensures data aligns with proposal content and objectives. - Performs calculations and reasoning (e.g., percentages, ratios, projections) accurately and efficiently. - Applies writing and editing best practices to strengthen clarity, grammar, and consistency across assigned sections.

Now Qualifications: Education Level Requires a bachelor’s degree in the behavioral sciences, communications, or a related field. Years Of Experience Must have at least two years of experience in technical, grant, proposal, and/or academic writing completed in professional environments and/or as part of a bachelor’s or higher degree program. Requires strong technical writing and communication skills, with the ability to compile and present data and statistics and to utilize the internet as a research tool. Must possess working knowledge of Microsoft Office and Adobe software applications, strong written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively while meeting deadlines efficiently. Certification/Licensure N/A (we can ignore as placeholder). Physical Requirements: Standing – 20% Sitting – 80% Squatting – Occasional Kneeling – Occasional Bending – Occasional Driving – Occasional Lifting – Occasional. This is schedule/physical demands; maybe we could include under Schedule? But we already have Schedule for Full time. Physical requirements could be omitted? It's substantive but not in allowed headings; we could incorporate into Schedule or maybe a separate section like Requirements? But instruction says use those headings; we could put physical requirements under Schedule? Not ideal. Could we create a Requirements section for physical requirements? The instruction list includes Requirements as a possible heading. We could put physical requirements there. However we also have Qualifications heading for education/experience. We could have both Qualifications and Requirements. Requirements could contain physical requirements. That seems okay. But we need to avoid filler like "N/A". Certification/Licensure N/A we can drop. Thus: - Qualifications: education and experience. - Requirements: physical requirements (maybe also include certification if not N/A). We'll list physical requirements as
    items. Skills: Knowledge, Skills & Abilities section includes many bullet-like statements. We'll put under Skills heading as
    . Benefits: list of benefits. Schedule: Full time. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat content. The Skills section includes many items that also appear in Qualifications (e.g., strong written and verbal communication skills, ability to compile and present data, Microsoft Office, Adobe). That's okay; we keep both as they are distinct sections. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:

    We must not include any extra text like comments. Ensure no markdown fences. Now check for any boilerplate inadvertently included: we removed EEO, disclaimer, etc. Also removed "Centerstone is among the nation’s leading nonprofit..." that's intro but maybe considered boilerplate? It's about organization; could be considered About the role? But we already have summary; the intro about Centerstone is generic;
