We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. We need to extract sections: About the role? Not present. Responsibilities? The "Job Duties" section includes duties. Could map to Responsibilities. Requirements/Qualifications: "Required Qualifications, Skills And Abilities (QSA)" plus maybe "Desired QSA Required Competencies". Benefits? Not present. Pay? Not present (salary range not given). Schedule? Not present (hours of work mentioned: OOS (Typically M–F/core hours) and "Incumbent Total Assigned days (AC) / Total Hours per biweekly pay OOS Core hours Monday to Friday – 75 hours bi-weekly". That's schedule info: core hours Monday to Friday – 75 hours bi-weekly. That's schedule. So we can include Schedule section with that detail. Benefits? Not present. Pay? Not present. So we will have sections: Responsibilities (Job Duties), Requirements (Qualifications, Skills, Abilities), Schedule (Hours of Work). Possibly also "About the role" could be derived from introductory paragraphs about role. The posting includes description of role before duties. Could treat that as About the role. But we need to avoid filler. The intro: "Saskatchewan Polytechnic provides the skills and education that the province needs to grow and prosper. The Centre for Continuing Education provides flexible learning opportunities...". That's about the role context. Could be About the role. We'll include About the role section with that prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. The diversity statement is maybe considered boilerplate but it's specific content about Indigenous focus. Might keep? It's under "Special Instructions to Applicants". It's not EEO boilerplate but it's a statement about diversity. Might be considered relevant. However instructions: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is a diversity statement, could be considered EEO. Safer to drop it. Also "Special Instructions to Applicants" includes that statement; we can drop it.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details like location: Multiple Locations (Please check posting details), Other Location(s) Building Other Building. That's vague. Might be considered metadata; we could drop as minor metadata. The instructions: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we could include a short p for location info? But location is somewhat substantive. However it's vague. Might drop. We need to include schedule: "Hours of Work OOS (Typically M–F/core hours)" and "Incumbent Total Assigned days (AC) / Total Hours per biweekly pay OOS Core hours Monday to Friday – 75 hours bi-weekly". We'll combine. We need to include responsibilities: list of duties. The duties are long paragraphs; we can convert to
- items. Need to preserve all substantive information; we can break into bullet points summarizing each duty but not invent. Better to keep as prose? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The duties are enumerated in paragraphs; we can treat each sentence as a list item. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. If we break into bullets, we must keep the exact content. Could wrap each paragraph in
- . That preserves detail. Similarly for qualifications: we have bullet-like list: "A bachelor’s degree or higher...". We'll put each requirement as
- . We also have "Desired QSA Required Competencies" which is a list of competencies; we could include under Requirements as well or separate? Could be part of Requirements. We'll include as
- under Requirements.
We must not create sections with filler. So we will have:
About the role
... (intro paragraphs)
Responsibilities
- ... each duty paragraph ...
Requirements
- ... each qualification
- ... each competency
Schedule
Hours of Work OOS (Typically M–F/core hours); Incumbent Total Assigned days (AC) / Total Hours per biweekly pay OOS Core hours Monday to Friday – 75 hours bi-weekly.
We need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "Posting Supplemental Questions", "Required fields are indicated with an asterisk (*)", etc. Remove those. Also remove "Job Duties Job Duties/Qualifications, Skills and Abilities(QSA) Job Duties" duplication. We need to extract the duty paragraphs from the text. Let's copy the duty paragraphs: From after "Job Duties" heading: "Saskatchewan Polytechnic provides the skills and education that the province needs to grow and prosper. The Centre for Continuing Education provides flexible learning opportunities in a wide variety of program areas. The Centre also offers customizable general, introductory, and specialized courses in a variety of disciplines through varied delivery methods. The role of the Manager Product Development in the Centre for Continuing Education is to guide and lead the product development requirements for multiple projects while balancing shared strategic priorities, institutional capacity, and resources within the Centre. The Manager Product Development has several direct reports located across the various Saskatchewan Polytechnic locations. The Manager will be responsible for all elements of the employee life cycle for faculty, curriculum developers and administrative staff in their area (staffing, recruitment, selection, orientation, training and development). The manager is also responsible for monitoring the fiscal resources and recommending efficiencies." Then later there is a section "Specific Accountabilities" with many bullet-like sentences. Then "Duties People Management..." etc. Then "Resource Allocation..." etc. Then "Risk Assessment and Management..." etc. Then later paragraphs about position accountability. We need to capture all duty-related content. It's extensive. We'll need to include all those sentences as list items. Let's extract them systematically. I'll copy the relevant sections: After "Job Duties" heading, we have: Paragraph 1: "Saskatchewan Polytechnic provides the skills and education that the province needs to grow and prosper. The Centre for Continuing Education provides flexible learning opportunities in a wide variety of program areas. The Centre also offers customizable general, introductory, and specialized courses in a variety of disciplines through varied delivery methods. The role of the Manager Product Development in the Centre for Continuing Education is to guide and lead the product development requirements for multiple projects while balancing shared strategic priorities, institutional capacity, and resources within the Centre. The Manager Product Development has several direct reports located across the various Saskatchewan Polytechnic locations. The Manager will be responsible for all elements of the employee life cycle for faculty, curriculum developers and administrative staff in their area (staffing, recruitment, selection, orientation, training and development). The manager is also responsible for monitoring the fiscal resources and recommending efficiencies." Then there is a heading "Qualifications, Skills, Abilities And Experience Specific Accountabilities" but actually it's "Qualifications, Skills, Abilities And Experience Specific Accountabilities". Then list: "LeadershipFoster an organizational environment that encourages personal productivity, job satisfaction and the professional growth of faculty and employees in the program areas, including group and personal development plans.Foster a culture of organizational safety and security.Establish clear performance standards and goals for direct reports and hold them accountable for meeting standards and goals.Act as a first point of contact to interpret, administer and manage within respective collective bargaining agreements and ensure employee standards are applied appropriately.Promote communication between all organizational levels.Ensure a positive, diverse, and inclusive work and learning environment.Plan, prepare, propose, and implement the project annual budgets and business strategies necessary to fulfill objectives related to development projects.Develop and implement strategies to satisfy continuous learning activity requirements which include financial, human resource and business impact considerations.Proactively identify gaps and opportunities for improvement within current processes and procedures and manage the implementation of these changes." That seems like a block without punctuation. We need to split into sensible items. Each phrase starts with a capital letter after a period? Actually they are concatenated. We'll need to separate by detecting capital letters after a period? Might be messy. But we can keep as one block? Better to split into logical items: each starts with a verb: Foster, Foster, Establish, Act, Promote, Ensure, Plan, Develop, Proactively identify. We'll split. Then "Relationship Management Internal Support and collaborate with Sask Polytechnic faculty and staff to facilitate implementation of Centre goals and objectives related to development project deliverables.Collaborate with various Saskatchewan Polytech divisions and stakeholders to ensure planned changes are communicated and understood.Provide mechanisms for collecting feedback and providing ongoing support through the change management process.Collaborate with key service providers (i.e.: Enrolment Services, Finance, Human Resources, and Information Technology Services) in prioritizing infrastructure and delivery needs.Collaborate with, and provide advisory services, to the Director on effective product development issues and requirements. External Develop and manage relationships with external agencies, educational and government organizations, colleges, and universities to remain current in best practices, standards, and requirements.Exhibit a high degree of professional discretion and confidentiality while developing strategic business initiatives with external stakeholders.Ensure Saskatchewan Polytech operations, performance, and reputation are accurately reflected in external communications to make certain relationships and partnerships with government, industry and other parties of interest are optimally realized.Provide accurate impact and risk assessments and reporting on initiatives that will affect Saskatchewan Polytech students and external partners." We need to split. Then "Duties People ManagementManage human resources of this area through the employee life cycle reflecting the values of Saskatchewan PolytechnicMaintain a high level of staff performance through effective use of human resources practices and procedures including recruitment, selection, orientation, training, probationary reviews, motivating and assessing program faculty and employees.Address people management issues with direct reports, including independent authority to discipline, dismiss and/or terminate where appropriate, applied in a timely manner while ensuring compliance with the collective agreement and Saskatchewan Polytechnic policies.Work with direct reports to develop clear performance objectives.

Then "Resource AllocationIdentify and set business plans for revenue generation opportunities within the Centre, monitoring results and value for services offered.Develop innovative solutions to resource challenges while ensuring alignment with the institute’s strategic goals.Ensure resource allocation for all programs and services are aligned with the strategic priorities and in accordance with Centre’s objectives; monitor the Centre’s progress in meeting its objectives, project plans and priorities, as set in the multi-year business plan.Review budgets and manage workload to ensure efficient use of resources and monitor yearend forecasts.Manage product development budgets and curriculum developer workload to ensure efficient use of resources and monitor yearend forecasts." Then "Risk Assessment and ManagementIdentify, assess, and manage risks in the Centre planning and project planning processes and more broadly, across the organization.Assess the viability and feasibility of concepts for their innovation, sustainability, and relevancy to the Saskatchewan Polytechnic environment. Ensure accountability and transparency of the Centre’s activities, information, and reports.Ensure compliance with federal and provincial laws, regulations, institute policies and collective agreements.Ensure the general safeguarding and stewardship of all resources within the Centre. Define and hold accountable those with accountability and authority in the Centre." Then later: "Based at any campus, the Manager of Product Development is accountable to the Director of Training Solutions. The Manager, Product Development, is responsible for the planning, facilitation, coordination, and implementation of product development requirements for projects within the Centre for Continuing Education. The position sets objectives based on business strategic goals, creates product development plans, as well as supervises lead developers and analyzes their performance on the project level.
