New Business Strategist
- .
- Requirements / Qualifications: Must-Haves list (Bachelor's degree etc). Also maybe Nice-to-Haves? Could be separate but we can combine into Requirements? The instruction: use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can decide to put Must-Haves under Requirements, Nice-to-Haves under Skills? Or Skills separate. Let's think.
We have Must-Haves (education, experience, communication style, strategic insights, technically minded, confidence, growth mindset, comfortable developing strategies, aptitude to lead and project manage, highly organized, exceptional writing, flexibility, willingness to work extended hours, proficiency with software tools). Those are qualifications/requirements.
Nice-to-Haves: network, knowledge of emerging trends, passion for brand thinking.
Skills: maybe we can extract skills like strategic selling, client communication, relationship strengthening, etc. But those are responsibilities. Could put under Skills: exceptional writing, storytelling, communication, technical proficiency, CRM, Google Workspace, etc.
Pay: The posting includes base salary range $85,000 - $125,000 USD. Also mentions individual compensation varies based on factors. So we can include Pay section with that range.
Benefits: "We offer a competitive benefits package." That's vague but it's a statement. The instruction says: 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. Here we have "We offer a competitive benefits package." That's not specific but it's a statement about benefits. Is that considered filler? It's vague but it's actual content. Might be acceptable. However they said avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". "competitive benefits package" is somewhat generic but still a statement. I'd include Benefits section with that sentence.
Schedule: No explicit schedule mentioned besides willingness to work extended hours and weekends when necessary. That's not a schedule definition. So we should not create Schedule section.
Location: Not a heading we need to include (not in list). Could be omitted or folded into a short p. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Location is minor metadata; we could include a short p at top maybe. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information. Location is substantive? It says location remote outside Pittsburgh but must travel. That's substantive. We could include a paragraph under About the role or a separate section? Not in allowed headings. Could fold into About the role paragraph. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation request, etc. Also must not include application instructions (email for accommodation). Also must not include About Deeplocal description? That's about the company, not role. Might be considered boilerplate? It's substantive about company but not required? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep About Deeplocal info? It's about the company, not the role. Might be considered relevant but not under role headings. Could we include a short paragraph about company under maybe a heading? Not allowed headings. Could we include it as a
before sections? The instruction: Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. It didn't forbid extra paragraphs outside sections. So we can include a brief About Deeplocal paragraph. But we must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The About Deeplocal is not boilerplate; it's fine. Thus final HTML: maybe start with a
for location and brief about company? Or we could incorporate location into a
after About the role. Let's structure:

The base salary range for this position is $85,000 – $125,000 USD. Individual compensation varies based on location, business needs, level of responsibility, experience, and qualifications.
We should not include Schedule. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not using "New Business Strategist" as heading. We must not include duplicated lines. Let's extract responsibilities list exactly as given: - Brand Representation – Learn and demonstrate a strong understanding of Deeplocal’s capabilities, process and positioning within our industry; know what our brand would (and wouldn’t) do, and how our brand would (and wouldn’t) act; and communicate this in spades in the marketplace. - Prospecting and Strategy - Analyze market conditions, identify target customer segments, and create a comprehensive plan to effectively reach and convert potential customers. - Pitching – Present Deeplocal’s offering in a compelling way that wins new work and builds enthusiasm for the brand.

Now Must-Haves list: - Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business or a relevant field, and/or 2-4 years working in a related role, ideally client-facing, preferably in experiential, interactive marketing. - An easy-going and engaging communication style in front of clients and teammates. - A natural ability to bring sharp strategic insights to your work and build coherent and compelling narratives. - Technically minded, able to understand complex concepts and explain them to others with varying levels of technical proficiency. - Confidence in making creative decisions and giving/receiving feedback that improves the quality of the work, pushes the boundaries of the brief, and reinforces the unique perspective of Deeplocal. - Excited by new challenges, and bringing a growth mindset. - Comfortable with developing strategies and implementing them; you’ll be wearing many hats at first. - Aptitude to lead and project manage new business pitches. - Highly organized with exceptional communication skills and attention to detail. - Exceptional writing (short- and long-form) and storytelling skills. - Flexibility and adaptability to a fast-paced work environment with an ability to work under tight deadlines with a sense of urgency. - Willingness to work extended hours and on weekends when necessary. - Proficiency with software tools including Google Workspace (G Suite), email marketing platforms (Mailchimp or similar), and CRMs (Hubspot, Sugar, etc). Nice-to-Haves: - A network of client-side contacts. - Knowledge of and interest in emerging cultural trends and technologies. - A passion for brand thinking, creativity, and the experiential industry. We could put Nice-to-Haves under Skills. Skills heading: maybe include technical proficiencies and nice-to-haves. Let's create Skills- with items: A network of client-side contacts; Knowledge of and interest in emerging cultural trends and technologies; A passion for brand thinking, creativity, and the experiential industry; Proficiency with Google Workspace, email marketing platforms, CRMs; Exceptional writing and storytelling skills; etc. But we already have exceptional writing in Must-Haves; we could still include but avoid duplication. Better to keep Must-Haves as Requirements, and Skills as nice-to-haves plus maybe technical proficiencies not already covered. However technical proficiencies are in Must-Haves already. So maybe Skills just includes nice-to-haves.
But we need to avoid empty sections. We'll include Skills with the nice-to-haves list.
Now Benefits: we have statement.
Pay: we have salary range.
Location: we can include a short p after About the role maybe:
This position is open to remote candidates outside of Pittsburgh, PA, but candidates must be willing to travel to Pittsburgh and/or client locations as required for training and business development efforts. Preference will be given to candidates located in Pittsburgh, or in close proximity to a client hub (NYC, LA, SF).
About Deeplocal: we can include a paragraph after location maybe before responsibilities? Or after responsibilities? Let's put after About the role paragraph, then location paragraph, then About Deeplocal paragraph, then responsibilities. But we must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat sentences. Let's craft final HTML. Check for any boilerplate: The accommodation request line: "If you require a reasonable accommodation during the interview process, please email us at hr@deeplocal.com." That's application instruction; must remove. Also "You don’t need to match every skill on this list to apply—we welcome applicants with a variety of experiences." That's also application encouragement; remove. Also "We are looking for someone who can bring a strategic perspective to early conversations with new clients." Already in About the role. Now produce HTML. Be
