Housing Affordability Breakthrough Challenge - Program Manager, National Programs
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
Let's parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro about Enterprise (mission). Might be considered "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be description of organization and role. The posting includes "Working at Enterprise" paragraph describing culture. Also "Job Description Summary" and "Job Description". We need to extract substantive content.
We need sections: maybe "About the role" (summary), "Responsibilities", "Qualifications", "Benefits", "Pay". Possibly "Skills" but we have qualifications list includes skills; we could put skills under Qualifications or separate Skills section if content. The posting includes many skill-like qualifications: critical thinking, problem solving, facilitation, communication, etc. Could be separate Skills section.
But we must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have:
- About the role: we have description of Enterprise, mission, working at Enterprise, job description summary. That's substantive.
- Responsibilities: list of responsibilities bullet points (multiple). Good.
- Qualifications: list of qualifications (education, experience, etc). Good.
- Skills: could be extracted from qualifications list (critical thinking, problem solving, facilitation, communication, etc). Might be redundant; but we could still include a Skills section if we have distinct skill statements. However the qualifications already include those skill statements. To avoid duplication, maybe we combine qualifications and skills into one Qualifications section. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine Qualifications and Skills into one Qualifications section, or we could have Qualifications and Skills separate if we have distinct content. Since the qualifications list includes both experience/education and skills, we could split: Qualifications for education/experience, Skills for abilities. But that may be thin. Better to have one Qualifications section covering both.
- Benefits: described in "Total Rewards At Enterprise" paragraph: benefits include dental, health, vision, family-building benefits, flexible work arrangements, health advocacy, EAP, mental health, financial education, wellness programs, auto-enrollment 401(k) with matching, tuition reimbursement. Also mention annual performance bonuses, generous paid leave programs. That's substantive.
- Pay: base salary range $83,000 to $95,000. Also mention salary varies based on factors. That's substantive.
- Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. No schedule info. So we should not include Schedule.
- Requirements: Could be similar to Qualifications; but we already have Qualifications. Could omit Requirements.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions (like "Please submit a Cover Letter and a Resume with your application.") Also remove "Thank you for your interest..." etc. Also remove "PLEASE NOTE: We are not able to provide sponsorship or relocation for this position." and "#ID". Also remove "Job Description Summary", "Job Description", "Working at Enterprise" maybe part of About the role.
We need to ensure we keep all substantive info: mission statement, numbers, etc.
Let's extract substantive paragraphs:
Intro: "Enterprise is a national nonprofit that exists to make a good home possible for the millions of families without one. We support community development organizations on the ground, aggregate and invest capital for impact, advance housing policy at every level of government, and build and manage communities ourselves. Since 1982, we have invested $92.0 billion and created 1.1 million homes across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands – all to make home and community places of pride, power and belonging. Join us at enterprisecommunity.org"
That's about the organization.
Then "Working at Enterprise At Enterprise, you’ll be part of a diverse, committed team making a difference every day. You will collaborate with some of the smartest minds and biggest hearts in our field. You’ll be empowered to drive systems change and take bold steps to advance racial equity. And you will find a career home where you’re valued and supported in your growth journey. Enterprise offers career opportunities in our offices across the country with an exceptional benefits package."
That's also about role/culture.
Then "Job Description Summary Enterprise Community Partners is seeking a Program Manager to join our National Programs team. This role will help drive innovative solutions to the nation’s housing challenges by supporting programs that incubate, accelerate, and scale housing innovation, including the Housing Affordability Breakthrough Challenge."
Then "Job Description The Program Manager will contribute to the design, development and delivery of all aspects of complex, multi-faceted national initiatives. Key responsibilities include supporting grantmaking and grant management activities, coordinating and executing program activities, developing of tools and resources, and facilitating collaboration among multidisciplinary teams of Enterprise staff, partners, and grantees. The role also supports program evaluation, impact measurement and the development of high-profile communications that elevate program outcomes and shared lessons learned across the sector.

Then responsibilities list (starting with "Job Responsibilities Provide support to planning and implementation of competitive grantee selection processes...").
Then qualifications list.
Then "Total Rewards At Enterprise You will be working with a group of talented professionals who are motivated by serving the community and addressing the need for affordable housing. Enterprise offers a comprehensive total rewards package for you and your family. The base salary for this role is $83,000 to $95,000 depending on the level of skills and experience. The salary range for this position is represented by the low and high end of the range for the amount to be paid for the position. Salaries paid at Enterprise will vary based on factors that may include skills, education, location, experience, and performance. The salary range is just a part of the total rewards package provided to employees at Enterprise, and other rewards may include annual performance bonuses and generous paid leave programs. At Enterprise, our benefits form a major component of our total rewards package.

Then "Thank you for your interest..." etc to remove.
Also "PLEASE NOTE: We are not able to provide sponsorship or relocation for this position." remove.
Also "#ID" remove.
Now we need to craft sections.
About the role: combine intro about Enterprise, working at Enterprise, job description summary, and maybe job description overview (the paragraph about role contributions). But we must not duplicate. We'll include a concise prose that captures all that info without omitting details. Must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot omit any detail. That's tricky: we must keep all substantive info, not summarize away detail. So we need to include all the facts: mission, numbers, etc. Also the description of role contributions, ideal candidate, etc. That's a lot. But we can keep them as prose paragraphs; not summarizing away detail means we should not leave out any specific detail. However we can combine them into paragraphs but must keep all details. That's doable: we can write a few paragraphs that include all the details.
We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep exact numbers, etc. We can rephrase but must keep the same meaning and details. Summarizing away detail would be like omitting some specifics. We need to retain all specifics: e.g., "Since 1982, we have invested $92.0 billion and created 1.1 million homes across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands". Must keep that. Also "Enterprise offers career opportunities in our offices across the country with an exceptional benefits package." Keep that.
Also "Job Description Summary Enterprise Community Partners is seeking a Program Manager to join our National Programs team. This role will help drive innovative solutions to the nation’s housing challenges by supporting programs that incubate, accelerate, and scale housing innovation, including the Housing Affordability Breakthrough Challenge." Keep.
Also the longer Job Description paragraph with many details: we must keep all that. That's a lot but we can keep as a paragraph.
Thus About the role section may be long but okay.
Responsibilities: we need to list each responsibility as
- . The responsibilities list includes multiple bullet points each starting with a verb. We need to extract each distinct responsibility.
Let's list them from the text:
"Provide support to planning and implementation of competitive grantee selection processes, which include work evaluating potential grantees through written materials and in-person engagements: Responsibilities include supporting the development of selection process materials, evaluation criteria for decision making, managing a process for input from funders, internal and external experts in selection competition winners, as well as communications, coordination and scheduling."
That's a long sentence; we could break into multiple items? But it's one responsibility with subparts. We'll keep as one
- containing the whole sentence.
Next: "Provide support to grantmaking and grants management activities, including award notifications, activity reporting, disbursements, and grant closeouts."
Next: "Support delivery of programming that is adaptive and responsive to grantee needs, and is designed to foster shared learning for grantees, Enterprise staff, and others, including in-person and virtual convenings as well as industry convenings."
Next: "Act as a proactive point of contact and facilitate cross-functional support across other Enterprise markets and divisions, including marketing, resource development, impact and evaluation, as well as industry leaders."
Next: "Support thought leadership activities as needed, including: gathering innovation-specific data on an ongoing basis delivering regular summary reports and materials to funders, Enterprise leadership, and other key stakeholders; and collaborating with Enterprise colleagues to pursue media and communications opportunities to disseminate findings and affect industry change."
Next: "Prepare and deliver public presentations as well as facilitate group conversations during peer learning sessions, public webinars, internal and external meetings, and competition information sessions."
Next: "Carry out additional responsibilities or projects as needed."
That's all.
Qualifications: list includes:
- Bachelor’s degree and a minimum of four years of experience in community development, affordable housing, housing finance, public policy, real estate or related field.
- Graduate degree may be substituted for up to 2 years of experience.
- Demonstrated experience supporting or leading large-scale programs that include multiple components, including developing and scaling initiatives.
- Experience working with a diverse range of communities and people.
- Excellent critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills.
- Strong facilitation skills, with the ability to guide diverse stakeholders through discussions that result in clear next steps and
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions (like "Please submit a Cover Letter and a Resume with your application.") Also remove "Thank you for your interest..." etc. Also remove "PLEASE NOTE: We are not able to provide sponsorship or relocation for this position." and "#ID". Also remove "Job Description Summary", "Job Description", "Working at Enterprise" maybe part of About the role.
