Manager, Post Award Administration

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have Overview, Who We Are, What Our Department Does, Responsibilities, Qualifications, What You Will Receive (benefits). Also salary range and schedule info. Must use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to map content to appropriate headings. We have: - Overview: includes salary range, hybrid schedule, location requirement, open until filled date. This could be split into Pay and Schedule sections. - Who We Are: description of organization. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is typical heading for role overview. But we have "Who We Are" describing the organization. Could be "About the role" maybe not. But we can create a section "About the role" with overview of role? The overview includes salary and schedule; but we also have "Who We Are" describing SDSURF. Could treat that as "About the role"? Might be better to have "About the role" summarizing the role purpose (maybe from Responsibilities). However instructions: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to decide which sections we have content for. We have content for: - Pay: salary range (non-negotiable). Also mention "Additional Applicant Information" repeats salary range. So we have Pay. - Schedule: hybrid in-office/remote schedule, must live within commutable distance from SDSU, also mention Hybrid Work Philosophy with two days in office three days remote. So we have Schedule. - Responsibilities: we have a big block under "Responsibilities". So we have Responsibilities. - Qualifications: we have "Qualifications" section with "THE SKILLS WE NEED", "Experience And Education", "Preferred Qualifications". So we have Qualifications. - Benefits: "What You Will Receive" lists benefits. So we have Benefits. - About the role: maybe we can combine "Overview" (excluding pay/schedule) and "Who We Are" and "What Our Department Does" as description of role and organization. Could be "About the role". But we already have Responsibilities and Qualifications separate. The "About the role" could be a brief summary of the position purpose. We have content: "Overview" includes salary and schedule (we already used those). The rest of Overview: "This position works a hybrid in-office/remote schedule..." Actually that's schedule. The overview also includes "This position is open until filled with first review of candidates on September 30, 2026." That's maybe metadata; could be omitted as per instruction: do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. The open date is minor metadata; we could drop it or include in a short p. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; open date is substantive? It's about timeline; maybe we can keep as a short p under Overview? But we don't have a heading for Overview; we could incorporate into "About the role" paragraph. - Who We Are: description of SDSURF mission, vision, core values. That's substantive about organization; could be part of "About the role" or separate section like "About the organization". But headings list does not include "About the organization". So we could fold into "About the role". The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those exact headings when we have content. So we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. Now we need to extract content and format. Let's gather content for each section. About the role: Should include a paragraph describing the role purpose, maybe from "Overview" (excluding salary/schedule) and "Who We Are" and "What Our Department Does". Let's craft a concise paragraph that preserves all substantive information: we must not invent or summarize away detail. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. That means we cannot omit details; we must keep all details. But we can rephrase? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we must keep all details, but we can rephrase? It says do not summarize away detail, meaning we shouldn't leave out details. We can combine but must keep all details. So we need to include all details from those sections. Thus About the role must contain all details from Overview (except salary/schedule which go to Pay/Schedule), Who We Are, What Our Department Does. Let's list details: Overview (excluding salary/schedule and open date maybe): - This position works a hybrid in-office/remote schedule and the applicant must live within a commutable distance from San Diego State University in order to receive full consideration. - This position is open until filled with first review of candidates on September 30, 2026. (maybe minor metadata but still substantive; we could include as a short p.) Who We Are: - Established in 1943, the mission of the SDSU Research Foundation (SDSURF) is to support the research objectives of San Diego State University by helping faculty and staff find, obtain, and administer funding for their research and sponsored programs. - SDSU is one of the top public research universities in the nation, furthering discoveries, interventions, and solutions that improve communities and change the world. - SDSURF provides the full life cycle of grants services to faculty and staff to further their important work. - Vision: foster a culture of creativity and collaboration with integrity and respect for individuals that results in the delivery of superior service to support the university’s strategic aspirations. - Core Values: - Service: service organization striving to provide superior support, committed to being professionally competent, setting high standards, working hard, continually seeking to improve skills and capabilities by valuing education and professional development. - Collaboration: actively engage with stakeholders and employees to identify issues and design solutions, build strong relationships grounded in trust, openness, inclusion, achieve best results by taking pride in colleagues' accomplishments. - Innovation: work towards inspired solutions to improve and adapt to emerging opportunities and challenges, creative ways to streamline and enhance delivery of services through resourceful and proactive problem solving and strategic use of technology and reduction of obstacles. - Respect: promote culture where every individual valued and treated with dignity, honor open-mindedness toward different viewpoints, genuine appreciation for varied backgrounds, experiences, ways of thinking. - Integrity: committed to acting with highest ethical standards, honesty, integrity, transparency, provide consistent and accurate information, value and respect all individuals. What Our Department Does: - The Sponsored Research Administration (SRA) department supports faculty with administration, compliance, and financial management of grants and contracts from federal, state, local, private funding sources. - Team works closely with faculty throughout entire award life cycle, helping them navigate complexities of managing sponsored programs. - Ensure all grant and contract funds administered in full compliance with funding agency and university requirements. - In addition to supporting externally funded research, SRA administers gift funds on behalf of The Campanile Foundation, along with SDSU’s campus and community programs and other research support funds. We also have maybe other details: The role's purpose: "The Manager plays a crucial role in supporting the advancement of the research mission of Research Foundation and San Diego State University." That's under Responsibilities heading actually. But we could include that in About the role as well. However we have a separate Responsibilities section; we should not duplicate content. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we put the manager role description in About the role, we would be duplicating it in Responsibilities? Actually the Responsibilities section includes that description under "YOUR ROLE IN CREATING THE UNIVERSITY’S PRESENT AND FUTURE". That is substantive. If we also put it in About the role, we would be duplicating. The instruction didn't forbid duplication, but better to avoid redundancy. However we need to keep all substantive information; we can keep it in Responsibilities only, and not repeat in About the role. So About the role will not include that manager role description; it will be in Responsibilities. Thus About the role will contain the overview (excluding salary/schedule), Who We Are, What Our Department Does. Now Responsibilities: we have the block under "Responsibilities". Let's extract details: - "YOUR ROLE IN CREATING THE UNIVERSITY’S PRESENT AND FUTURE The Manager plays a crucial role in supporting the advancement of the research mission of Research Foundation and San Diego State University. Using specialized experience in research administration, you will lead a team of professionals that support faculty research activities to ensure funding agency and university requirements are met, directly impacting SDSU’s reputation as a leading research institution." - "THE WORK YOU WILL DO AND MANAGE As a manager, you will be a member of the leadership team in the SRA department and Sponsored Research Services division who are dedicated to using their expertise in research administration and knowledge of the organization to positively impact staff morale, service, and business practices. You will also be responsible for the leadership of a team of professionals who are aligned with the Research Foundation’s mission to support and advance research. These professionals play a key role in the administration, compliance and fiscal management of sponsored programs, campus and community programs, gift funds, and other research support funds. Your leadership and support of the management of grants and contracts provides faculty with time needed to focus on the research activities that will continue to advance the institution’s research mission."
