Managing Consultant, Art Director
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections where posting has real specific content. We need to parse the job posting.
We need to extract:
- About the role: description of role, maybe first paragraph: "Turn bold ideas into meaningful creative work that helps leading organizations communicate a more sustainable future. ERM is seeking a highly talented and detail-oriented Art Director with an impressive portfolio to join our growing global design team. This client-facing role may work remotely within the Eastern or Central time zones or in a hybrid model, with a preference for three days in person near our Knoxville office". Also "Why This Role Matters?" and "What Your Impact Is:" maybe part of About the role? Could be separate sections but we only have limited headings. We can combine into About the role.
- Responsibilities: list under "Key Responsibilities:" bullet points.
- Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The posting has "What You'll Bring:" which includes required and preferred items. We need to separate maybe Requirements (required) and Skills (preferred) or Qualifications. The instruction: use headings for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to include based on content.
We have:
- Pay: "For the Managing Consultant, Art Director position, the anticipated annual base pay is $79,000 - $93,100 (USD). Actual pay will depend on factors such as education, experience, skills, location, performance, and business needs. In some cases, pay may fall outside this range. This role may be eligible for bonus pay subject to the sole discretion of ERM and its policies and procedures (casual and fixed term/flex force employees are not bonus eligible)."
- Benefits: "We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including paid time off (vacation, sick, and floating holidays), parental leave, medical, dental, vision, life, disability, AD&D insurance, 401(k), and other applicable benefits to eligible employees."
- Schedule: Not explicitly given. There's mention of remote/hybrid, preference for three days in person near Knoxville office. That's schedule info: remote within Eastern/Central time zones or hybrid, preference for three days in person near Knoxville. So we can include Schedule section with that.
- Requirements: Required Bachelor’s degree in graphic design or equivalent experience. 4-6+ years of professional graphic design experience. 2+ years of leadership experience. A seasoned design professional; agency experience preferred. Strength in people leadership. Exceptional portfolio showcasing digital, print, interactive, and branding work. Superior understanding of design principles, typography, and page layout. Extreme attention to detail and proven commitment to quality control. Interest in working with a variety of creative professionals, including writers, strategists, and digital designers. Strength in client communications and leading design-focused discussions. Self-motivated, with personal initiative, a flexible attitude, and the ability to multitask and work with shifting deadlines. Collaborative and generous with colleagues and invested in the team’s success as much as your own. Open to input, feedback, and collaboration with colleagues, fellow creatives, and clients. Able to work extended hours when necessary. Conscientious with high attention to detail. Versed in digital strategies and best practices while continuously looking for unexpected new ways to engage users. Eager to expand and grow your skill set and experience as a creative professional. Strong interpersonal skills, including diplomacy, tact, and assertiveness, as well as the ability to manage up and communicate effectively. Ability to handle conflict and manage difficult conversations internally and externally. Ability to work independently as well as part of a team and perform under pressure in a fast-paced environment. Integrates Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEI&B) into leadership culture.
- Qualifications: Could be similar to Requirements but maybe we treat Qualifications as the "Preferred" items: Marketing, communications, and advertising experience. Ability to communicate complex information to a broad audience of internal and external stakeholders. Experience estimating design budgets. Familiarity with AI design tools. Data and infographic design experience. Experience with major social and digital engagement platforms. Accessibility experience for websites and PDFs. Experience with multi-page editorial layout design, including annual/sustainability reports, books, and magazines. Proficiency with Mac OS, Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and Microsoft Office. Solid understanding of UX/UI design for digital experiences. Knowledge of CSS and HTML. Retouching capabilities. Experience with Slack, Teams, and Monday.com project management software. Experience managing outside vendors, including design, photography, video, developers, and printing. Video and animation production. Illustration. 3D rendering. Working knowledge of Workiva and InDesign integration. Sustainability experience. Consulting experience.
- Skills: Could be overlapping; but we already used Requirements and Qualifications. Maybe we can treat Skills as a separate heading for specific technical skills like proficiency with software etc. But we already have many in Qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could map: Requirements = mandatory items (degree, years experience, leadership). Qualifications = preferred qualifications (marketing experience, etc). Skills = technical skills (software, tools). However the instruction says we should prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we might combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But we have headings list; we can include only those with real content. We could include Requirements (with required items) and Skills (with technical skills). Qualifications maybe not needed if we merge into Skills. But we need to follow instruction: use headings for those categories if we have content. We can decide to include Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule, About the role, Responsibilities. That's 7 sections.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions (Please submit your resume...). Also remove duplicated lines.
