Organizing Director - Nebraska
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications?), Skills (maybe from Hiring Characteristics), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to ensure we don't create empty sections.
Let's extract content.
First, "About the role": The text after "General Overview" up to before "Responsibilities". Let's capture:
"General Overview Neighbor, it’s your time to step up for Nebraska. We need your love for our state and its people, your skills earned from years of hard work, and your ability to connect with other Nebraskans. Frankly, it’s the only way we are going to pry back our government and economy from the billionaires who have taken over. The good news is that there are more of us than there are of them. We just need to harness our power… conversation by conversation, on every porch, corner, driveway, sidewalk, field, and farm in Nebraska. And we need you to lead the charge. Join us on behalf of the Working Class Majority Pac. We are looking for an Organizing Project Director to manage a team of organizers who will talk to voters about Dan Osborn’s run for Senate in Nebraska’s upcoming election. If you believe that real political power is built from the ground up through deep organizing and face-to-face conversations, we want you on our team in Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska This is a full-time position for an experienced project and people manager who loves working on social change campaigns. At The Outreach Team, Organizing Project Directors are expected to bottomline the development, implementation, evaluation, and overall success of our campaigns. Our Organizing Project Directors develop and maintain relationships with our clients, manage full-time staff, drive campaign timelines and deliverables, oversee administrative systems, and motivate staff and communities for social change along the way. We’re seeking a candidate who has experience managing or coordinating diverse teams, driving goals, and working within coalitions or partner organizations. This job may be for you if you excel at running large-scale, social change campaigns with urgent deadlines Candidates must be based in Nebraska or willing to relocate or travel extensively to Nebraska for the duration of the campaign. Strong preference for candidates with knowledge of the Nebraska political landscape and for candidates with experience working in diverse communities, including communities of color, immigrant communities, and communities historically underrepresented in the political process. You should expect to work 40-60 hours per week, depending on how close to elections or other deadlines your project is. Travel for site visits will be required. This position is for the 2026 campaign cycle."
We need to preserve all that. However some of that includes schedule info (40-60 hours, travel). Might be better to put schedule info in Schedule section. But we can keep some in About the role if it's prose. However we need to avoid duplication. The schedule details could be moved to Schedule section. But we must preserve all substantive info; we can split.
Better: Keep About the role as the overview excluding schedule specifics? But the instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep the info somewhere. If we move schedule details to Schedule section, we still preserve. So we can remove schedule sentences from About the role and put them in Schedule.
Thus About the role will be the overview without the schedule sentences.
Let's extract About the role without schedule sentences:

Note: I removed the schedule sentences: "You should expect to work 40-60 hours per week, depending on how close to elections or other deadlines your project is. Travel for site visits will be required." Also removed duplicate "Candidates must be based..."? Actually that is about location, not schedule; we might keep location info in About the role or maybe separate? The instruction says we can have sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Location could be part of About the role or maybe Requirements. But we can keep it in About the role as it's substantive.

We need to output as
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can flatten all these into a single list? Or we could have subheadings? The instruction says use
for section headings, and - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid having multiple lists within a section. We could keep the bullet points as
- under a
. We could also keep the headings like "Project Management:" as part of the li text. That's fine.
Now Qualifications: there is a "Qualifications (the Must-haves)" section with bullet points. Also there is "Hiring Characteristics" which could be Skills. Let's treat Qualifications as the Must-haves list. Skills as the Hiring Characteristics list.
Qualifications (the Must-haves) list:
- Experience managing a diverse team of organizers in a fast-paced or goals-based environment, especially in paid field campaigns, canvass operations, or field organizing
- Experience being a fundamental decision maker on a large or fast-paced organizing project where you were responsible for tracking results and hitting goals to meet benchmarks

- Experience driving recruitment
for prose.
