Head of Program Design
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes some boilerplate like "Please know that no one ever meets 100% of the preferred qualifications..." that's part of Preferred Qualifications? It's a note encouraging apply; we should keep it? It's not boilerplate; it's part of the posting. We'll keep.
We need to structure sections: About the role (maybe combine About Braven and About The Role? The instruction: use headings for section headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should have About the role (maybe includes About Braven and About The Role). Responsibilities corresponds to "What You'll Do". Requirements corresponds to "Minimum Requirements". Qualifications corresponds to "Preferred Qualifications". Skills corresponds to "Technical Skills". Benefits corresponds to "Compensation and Benefits". Schedule corresponds to "Work Demands". Possibly also include "Additional Requirements" maybe under Requirements? Could be part of Requirements. We'll incorporate.
We need to use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities we have bullet points (the percentages and sub-bullets). We'll convert to
- . For requirements we have bullet list: Education: BS/BA, 10+ years..., 3+ years... We'll make
- . For preferred qualifications we have many bullet points; we'll make
- . For technical skills we have one line; could be
or
- . Since it's a list? It's a single item; we can use
. For benefits we have paragraph; use
. For schedule we have paragraph; use
. Also include location/hybrid info? That's under Employment Type etc. Might be part of About the role? Could be included in About the role paragraph. We'll include location/hybrid in About the role paragraph.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers; none present.
We must not include application instructions; we should remove "Application & Interview Process" etc. The posting includes that section; we need to remove it per instruction: remove application instructions. So we will omit that section.
Also remove "Other duties as assigned" maybe part of responsibilities; we can keep as a bullet.

Benefits
Braven offers competitive base salaries based on the midpoint of the market among not-for-profit organizations of similar size, with opportunities for salary growth over time.

Ability to work in-person in one of these hub cities: Atlanta (GA), Chicago (IL), Newark (NJ), or New York City (NY), 3 days per week. Travel 2-3 times per quarter for team convenings, site visits, and organizational gatherings.
We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information from the posting. Let's extract details.
About Braven: "Braven is a national nonprofit that prepares promising college students to secure a strong first opportunity after college graduation through a career-accelerating program. We work with higher education and employer partners to offer a life-changing experience that begins with a semester-long course for college students, followed by support that lasts through graduation. Together, our ambition is to help rebuild the middle class and revitalize the American Dream. To learn more, take a look at Braven's Jobs Report."
About The Role: "In order to achieve its ambition of serving 80,000-100,000 Fellows over the next decade, Braven is hiring a Head of Program Design who will own the evolution, quality, and integrity of every program experience Braven puts in front of students, volunteers, and staff, serving as both the lead builder and the person responsible for setting the standards for how those experiences are designed. Braven's program is built around a core belief: that students build career readiness by developing the right skills, networks, experiences, and confidence. Everything the Design team builds is in service of that equation. As the leader of the Design team and a member of the Product Leadership Team, you will translate evidence from Braven's research and real-time signals from the field into high-quality, pedagogically sound program assets and learning sequences that can be delivered across dozens of campuses with varying academic lengths (e.g., semester, quarter, summer school, etc.) at scale. You hold the line on adult learning best practices regardless of timeline pressure or competing priorities, and you ensure that every staff member and volunteer who facilitates a Braven program experience understands both what they're teaching and why it's built the way it is. We're also looking for someone with a genuinely entrepreneurial orientation, someone who is deeply curious about how other organizations are solving the college-to-career challenge, and who brings that curiosity back into how Braven evolves its own approach. Critically, this person must be able to hold two things as connected rather than in tension: the commitment to human-centered, pedagogically excellent design and the imperative to simplify and scale. The program has to work for the student sitting in front of it and for the institution delivering it at volume. Seeing those as the same challenge — not competing ones — is a prerequisite for excellence in this role. This role is on the Product team and reports directly to the Chief Product Officer."
Location/Hybrid: "Job Title: Head of Program Design Team: Product Location: Hybrid in Atlanta (GA) - preferred, Chicago (IL), New York (NYC), or Newark (NJ) Employment Type: Full-time FLSA Classification: Exempt Start Date: ASAP"
We should include location/hybrid in About the role paragraph.
Now Responsibilities: "What You'll Do" includes several sections with percentages.
We need to capture each bullet.
Let's list them:
Build, Steward, and Evolve Braven's Program Experience (30%)
- Design and evolve the entire program experience continuum, which starts with the Accelerator course and extends to supporting our Fellows for 6 months after graduation
- Maintain a growing high-quality multi-modal library (in-person, virtual, and on-demand) of program experiences, including workshops, learning modules, facilitated sequences, stand-alone resources, on-demand tools, and event designs that help students build the skills, networks, experiences, and confidence needed to secure strong first opportunities after college
- Create and pilot new program assets in response to what program staff is observing in the field and/or our higher education partners lift up as a need/interest — when teams flag that students are struggling or that a specific need has emerged, your team builds the response, keeping scale and simplicity front and center
- Translate findings from Braven's research team into concrete design decisions, ensuring that what the evidence says students need is actually reflected in how every experience is structured, sequenced, and facilitated, partnering with execution teams to ensure the program is delivered as intended
- Maintain and refresh program assets over time by updating content regularly based on stakeholder feedback, student outcome data, and shifts in the college-to-career landscape, including staying up to speed on how the context is shifting with students (e.g., pandemic moment that required more online to a digital learning fatigue moment six years after the pandemic) and/or the labor market (e.g., employers are scaling up dramatically so job acquisition is easier including remote work to labor market is shrinking because of over hiring and now how AI is shaping the realities students face in the job market)
- Keep an eye towards what must be true at scale, adjusting designs over time based on feasibility constraints or new technology realities that have ripple effects into designs
- Be the consummate learner and consumer of our in-person and digital products, in order to stay proximate to the field as well as on the cutting edge of what is to come
Set and Hold the Standard for Quality and Integrity of Program Experiences (25%)
- Define, ensure the execution of, and evolve Braven's standards for high-quality program design, including how experiences are structured, how long they run, how learning is assessed, and how facilitation is approached
- Ensure all program experiences are grounded in adult learning science, cultural competence (including that of a particular higher education institution), and reflect a deep understanding of Braven's students, predominantly first-generation college students and students from low-income backgrounds, navigating the transition from college to career
- Stay current on the external field — career readiness research, employer expectations, evolving best practices in adult learning, highly-resourced colleges' career preparation evolutions, digital tools, and bring that knowledge into Braven's design work
Prepare Staff and Volunteers to Facilitate with Confidence and Fidelity (20%)
- Design and deliver ongoing training that equips program staff and volunteers who are on the front lines with students every day to understand Braven's approach to career readiness topics, and can deliver to students coherent, consistent guidance
- Design and deliver training on design intent so that facilitators understand why an experience is built the way it is, and can make good judgment calls when they need to adapt in the moment
- Ensure training and staff enablement are built into each new program from the start, making them a core part of a complete, high-quality experience
- Lead conversations with staff about what is likely to come next in the programmatic experience's evolution
Lead the Team and Shape Program Strategy (25%)
- Lead, develop, and grow a team of designers who are responsible for the full scope of design work across Braven's program experience,
