Production Manager (Touring) – VStar Entertainment Group

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to parse the posting. First line: "***Le poste étant situé aux États-Unis, la description de poste est disponible uniquement en anglais.*** As this position in based in the United States, the job description is available in English only.*** ___________________________________________________________________________ Production Manager (Touring) - VStar Entertainment Group Technical Management Temporary / Full-Time Position Tour Dates: November 2026 - December 2026" We should not repeat job title as heading. We can include metadata like tour dates maybe as a short

. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes EEO statement at end: "Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group is an equal opportunity employer...". That should be removed. Also mention AI tools etc. Remove. We need to preserve substantive info: description of role, responsibilities list, requirements, qualifications, skills, maybe benefits? Not mentioned. Pay? Not mentioned. Schedule? Tour dates given. So we can include Schedule section with tour dates. Benefits? Not mentioned. Pay? Not mentioned. So we should not create those sections. We need sections: About the role (maybe a brief summary), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (maybe education/experience), Qualifications (maybe similar), Skills (hard skills). But we must avoid duplication. The posting includes "What does it take for this role? The following hard skills are the basics of what is needed to be successful in this position:" then list. That could be Skills. Also earlier there are requirements: education, experience, etc. Could be Requirements. Also there are responsibilities list earlier. Thus sections: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (ul list), Requirements (education/experience etc), Skills (hard skills list). Possibly Qualifications could be merged with Requirements; but we can include Qualifications if there is distinct content. The posting includes "Ability to read and interpret documents..." etc which are skills. Also "Self-motivated, resourceful..." etc. Those are skills. So we can put those under Skills. We need to ensure we don't create sections with placeholder text. All sections must have real content. Let's extract content. Intro: "We are looking for our next Production Manager to join our VStar Entertainment Group Touring Management team. The main objective of this role is to provide leadership, supervision, management oversight and coordination of all technical and production departments as well as responsibility for unit movement coordination, venue advances and all other tour-based operations areas and needs. Works on a day-to-day basis to maintain the integrity, consistency and safety of the production elements, crew, public and local staffing labor." That's About the role. Responsibilities: bullet list from "The Production Manager will have the opportunity to:" then many items separated by semicolons. Need to convert to

• . We'll split by semicolons (but careful with internal semicolons). Let's list each item: - Direct supervisor for all technical and operational departments including but not limited to Props, Carpentry, Audio, Video Lighting, Wardrobe, Trucking; - Primary point of contact in preparation and distribution of operations and production planning for each city within a touring season; - Prepare and circulate engagement advance documentation by providing schedules and labor needs for unit movement, load-in, public shows, and load-out; - In conjunction with Company Manager, acts as point of contact for each venue during advance planning, load-in, engagement run and load-out; - Oversees load-in and load-out by ensuring trucks are docked and ready for unload; all departments understand the schedule and plan for loading the show in and out of venues; floor plans disseminated, and changes communicated to department heads; local labor organized and serves as direct point of contact for Stewards when applicable; - Making self-available for troubleshooting, decision making and oversight that crews are working to set goals and timelines; final walk through and sign off production and technical elements prior to first show; - Ensure all equipment is in ready to tour condition. Communicate any reoccurring issues with Corporate Operations department and Technical Production Services; - Works closely with the Corporate Operations Department on weekly plans for trucking and show movement from city to city; - Submits weekly Operations reports, invoices, estimates and other reports as required; - In collaboration with the Company Manager responsible for reconciling weekly engagement expenses to ensure fiscal responsibility; - Maintain open channels of communication between technical departments, unit management and corporate office by providing feedback and presenting solutions to issues that will support the company’s overall business model and objectives; - Responsible for the training, management, and development of all crew with a focus on retention and developing succession plans for each department; - Responsible for making sure the schedule is compliant with touring crew’s union rules; - Responsible for the creation, implementation, and continued monitoring of touring unit compliance for all risk control and safety standards and regulations; - Ability to carry out assignments thoroughly and accurately with an attention to detail and quality control; - Accepts and performs all other assigned duties and projects by immediate supervisors; - Responsible for the professional standards or conduct, appearance, and workmanship of personnel in the respective jobs; - Responsible for mediation of interdepartmental work-related disputes and cohesion; - All other work-related duties as assigned; We need to ensure each
• ends with a period maybe. Now Requirements: "What does it take for this role? The following hard skills are the basics of what is needed to be successful in this position:" Actually that's Skills. But earlier there are requirements: "Requires education equivalent to a bachelor's degree in Technical Theatre or equivalent education or experience; Requires good oral and written communication skills to interact with employees; Minimum +5 years in the Entertainment Industry in an Operations and/or Management field with a background or understanding for the touring entertainment industry; Minimum of 2 years touring experience in the Entertainment Industry; Ability to read and interpret documents, blueprints, safety manuals and budgets as well as draft financial reports and proposals proficiently; Ability to solve practical problems and interpret diverse instructions delivered in a variety of forms Possess exceptional communication, organization, and leadership abilities; Self-motivated, resourceful and can work independently on a multitude of tasks simultaneously; Fluent in English, both written and spoken; If applicable for the tours travel schedule must be and remain in good standing with all proper authorities throughout the Services Period, including maintaining the validity of one’s passport and the ability to travel internationally; CDSEG employees travelling in countries where COVID-19 vaccination proofs are required will still need to comply with these requirements as a condition of employment; Verification of the right to work in the United States for Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group, as demonstrated by completion of the Form I-9 upon hire and the submission of acceptable documentation (as noted on the Form I-9) verifying one’s identity and work authorization; Able to pass a background check, which may include, but is not limited to, credit, criminal, DMV, previous employment, education, and personal references, per Company policy, unless prohibited by federal, state, or provincial law;" These are a mix of requirements and qualifications. We can separate: Requirements (education, experience, years). Qualifications (maybe ability to read docs, etc). Skills (communication, organization, leadership, self-motivated, etc). But we must avoid duplication. Let's define: - Requirements: education (bachelor's degree or equivalent), experience (+5 years in Entertainment Industry Ops/Management with touring background, minimum 2 years touring experience). Also maybe right to work verification, background check, passport validity, COVID vaccination proof. Those could be requirements as well. - Qualifications: ability to read/interpret documents, blueprints, safety manuals, budgets, draft financial reports/proposals; ability to solve practical problems and interpret diverse instructions. - Skills: exceptional communication, organization, leadership abilities; self-motivated, resourceful, independent multitasking; fluent English. But the posting lumps many together. We need to ensure we don't create thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section "Requirements" that includes education, experience, abilities to read docs, solve problems, etc. Then Skills section for communication, organization, leadership, self-motivated, fluent English. That seems reasonable. Thus sections: About the role (p) Responsibilities (ul) Requirements (ul) - includes education, experience, right to work, background check, passport, COVID vaccination, ability to read docs, solve problems. Skills (ul) - communication, organization, leadership, self-motivated, resourceful, independent multitasking, fluent English. We must not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule unless present. We have tour dates: "Tour Dates: November 2026 - December 2026". That's schedule info. Should we create a Schedule section? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting does state tour dates, which is schedule. So we can include a Schedule section with that info. Use

  Schedule

  and

  Tour Dates: November 2026 - December 2026

  . We must not repeat job title as heading. Good. We must remove boilerplate: EEO statement, AI tools, etc. Now produce HTML fragment. Let's craft.
