We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (maybe not needed? The description includes role description at top). The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (the introductory paragraph(s) describing role). Responsibilities (the bullet list under Responsibilities). Qualifications (the Required Qualifications). Possibly Skills (maybe combine with qualifications? But we have a separate Skills section; we could include if there is specific skill list. The posting includes many skill-like items in qualifications; we could treat them as Qualifications. The instruction says we can use Skills section if there is real content. The posting includes "Exceptional writing, editing, proofreading, and storytelling skills." etc. Those are skills. Could put them under Skills. But we also have Required Qualifications which includes education, experience, etc. Could separate: Qualifications (education + experience) and Skills (specific abilities). However we must not create thin sections. Let's see content: The posting includes "Required Qualifications" bullet list with many items: education, experience, demonstrated experience, etc. Then later "Preferred" section with additional qualifications. Also there is "Salary Range" and "Standard Weekly Hours", "Benefits Eligible", etc. Those are Pay, Schedule, Benefits. The posting actually states Salary Range $101,000 to $112,000, Standard Weekly Hours 36.25, Benefits Eligible Yes. So we should include Pay, Schedule, Benefits sections. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Also remove "For full consideration, please submit cover letter with resume." That's application instruction; remove. We need to preserve all substantive information: role description, responsibilities (with percentages), qualifications (required and preferred?), skills, pay, schedule, benefits. We need to decide sections: About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (maybe break into sub-sections? The responsibilities are grouped with percentages; we could keep as a single

    with each responsibility as
  • including the percentage maybe. Or we could keep the percentages inside the li. That's fine. Qualifications: Could be "Required Qualifications" and maybe "Preferred Qualifications". But we might combine into one Qualifications section with subheadings? The instruction only allows

    for section headings; we cannot have nested headings? Could still have

    for Required Qualifications and another

    for Preferred Qualifications if we want separate sections. But that may be many thin sections. However we have substantive content for both required and preferred. Could combine into one Qualifications section with two
      lists: Required and Preferred. But we need to preserve all info; we can include headings inside the section? Not allowed to use other heading levels? The instruction only says use

      for section headings; it doesn't forbid using or

      for subheadings. We could use

      Required Qualifications:

      then a
        . That's acceptable. Similarly for Skills: we could extract skill statements from qualifications and put under Skills section. But we might avoid duplication. The qualifications already include many skill statements; we could treat them as Skills. However the instruction says we can use Skills section if posting actually states them. It does state skills like "Exceptional writing, editing, proofreading, and storytelling skills." etc. So we could create a Skills section. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see if we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Schedule, Benefits. That's 7 sections. Might be okay if each has substantive content. Check each: - About the role: we have introductory paragraph(s) describing role: "Reporting directly to the Senior Associate Dean for Finance and Administration, the Manager of Communications provides strategic leadership for communications, marketing, and public relations for the Office of the Dean of the Faculty (ODoF). ..." That's substantive. - Responsibilities: we have the bullet list with percentages. That's substantive. - Qualifications: we have Required Qualifications (education, experience, etc.) and Preferred Qualifications. That's substantive. - Skills: we have many skill statements: exceptional writing, editing, proofreading, storytelling skills; ability to communicate complex ideas; knowledge of editorial standards; strong presentation development; ability to develop, implement, assess integrated communications plans; ability to advise senior leaders; knowledge of media relations, issues management, organizational communications best practices; excellent organizational and project management skills; ability to build collaborative relationships; demonstrated ability to establish processes; exercise sound judgment; experience managing web content and digital communications platforms; experience using CMS preferably Drupal; knowledge of web analytics; knowledge of digital accessibility standards; knowledge of print production and digital publishing processes; proficiency with Adobe Creative Cloud; strong analytical and problem-solving abilities. That's substantive. - Pay: Salary Range $101,000 to $112,000. - Schedule: Standard Weekly Hours 36.25, Eligible for Overtime No. - Benefits: Benefits Eligible Yes, also mention comprehensive benefit program, link (but we should not include link? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; but we should remove boilerplate? The link is more like reference; maybe we keep mention of comprehensive benefit program but not the link? The link is not substantive? It's a pointer; but we could keep phrase "The University also offers a comprehensive benefit program to eligible employees." That's substantive. We'll include that. We must not include Probationary Period, Essential Services Personnel, Physical Capacity Exam, Driver's License, Experience Level, etc. Those are metadata but could be considered minor; we could fold into a short

        or drop. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

        or drop it." So we could include a short paragraph for those minor metadata if we want, but better to drop them to keep focused. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; are those substantive? Probationary Period 180 days, etc. Might be considered substantive but maybe minor. The instruction says fold minor metadata into a short

        or drop it. So we could include a short

        with those items. But we also have sections for Pay, Schedule, Benefits; we could add a

        for other metadata like Probationary Period, etc. However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we drop those minor metadata entirely. But we need to be careful: "Preserve ALL substantive information". If we drop them, we might be violating. However they said "fold minor metadata into a short

        or drop it." So dropping is allowed for minor metadata. So we can drop Probationary Period etc. Thus final HTML: sections: About the role (

        ). We need to ensure we don't repeat job title. Not using any headings for job title. We need to remove duplicated lines: ensure we don't duplicate any content. Now extract the exact text for each. About the role: The first paragraph(s) before "Responsibilities". Let's copy: "Reporting directly to the Senior Associate Dean for Finance and Administration, the Manager of Communications provides strategic leadership for communications, marketing, and public relations for the Office of the Dean of the Faculty (ODoF). The position develops and executes integrated communications strategies that support institutional priorities, advance organizational objectives, strengthen stakeholder engagement, and enhance the visibility and reputation of the Office of the Dean of the Faculty and its constituent faculty and academic professional communities. The Manager serves as ODoF's principal communications advisor, counseling senior leadership within ODoF and, as needed, other campus administrative offices on messaging, issues management, organizational change, media relations, crisis communications, governance-related communications, and other complex or sensitive matters affecting faculty and academic professional populations.

Working collaboratively with University Communications and partners across Princeton, the position ensures that communications are coordinated, effective, data-informed, and aligned with University priorities and standards." That's the about role. Now Responsibilities: The section after "Responsibilities" includes sub-bullets with percentages.
