We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No Pay or Schedule unless present. The posting does not mention pay or schedule specifics. So we omit Pay and Schedule sections. We need headings

for each section. Use
  • for lists. Use

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "About Us" maybe? It's not a required heading but could be considered "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is company description; we could include under "About the role"? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings. "About Us" could go under "About the role"? Probably we can include a brief description under About the role. The job description starts with "Job Description A Global Government Program Manager serves..." That's about the role. So we can put that in About the role. Responsibilities: from "What You Will Do" bullet list. Requirements: maybe "Education and Experience" and "Country Requirements". Could be under Requirements. Qualifications: maybe "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities" could be Skills. But we have separate Skills heading. We could put Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities under Skills. Qualifications maybe include education and experience? Actually typical: Requirements = education/experience; Qualifications = certifications etc. But we can decide. We have "Education and Experience" and "Preferred is to possess or the ability to obtain a security clearance". Also "Country Requirements". Those could be under Requirements. Skills: "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities" list. Benefits: from "About Our Benefits". Provide list. We must not include boilerplate like Equal Opportunity, Notice, Other, etc. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID. We must not include duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to capture all responsibilities listed, all requirements, all skills, benefits. Let's extract. Job Description paragraph: "A Global Government Program Manager serves as the primary point of contact for the client and is responsible for leading the development, execution, and in-service growth of ABS products and services. The Global Government Program Manager provides program and contract focus, as well as timely appraisal to management, on work progress, schedule, budget, and technical problems, and recommends corrective actions to improve performance. Global Government Program Managers portfolio may include projects such as US Government projects (ITAR sensitive), International Government projects, key strategic commercial projects that support a government activity, as well as digital strategy focus areas such as the modernization of classification and cybersecurity. The Global Government Program Manager, work with internal stakeholders (ABS functional departments) in addition to external stakeholders (government agencies, shipbuilders, design agents, and operators) to ensure a successful outcome of assigned activities. Depending on business needs, this position could be assigned to several projects concurrently and may also be assigned to perform specific business development, client management, and contract management related functions to support ABS and the ABS Global Government Team." That's About the role. Now "What You Will Do" list: - Act as the primary point of contact for clients on assigned programs. - Act as liaison between the client and all departments within ABS. - Review bids and proposals to ensure they meet company policy and customer solicitation requirements. - Lead the day-to-day execution of all assigned projects or programs. - Collaborate with all internal functional departments to facilitate transparency across the program, ensure continued customer satisfaction, and ensure compliance with policies, procedures, standards, and contractual requirements. - Execute the project or program by providing oversight to achieve cost, schedule, performance, and contractual requirements; ensuring adequate and timely resources are provided to execute the program successfully; identifying program issues and risks and implementing mitigation actions; maintaining prescribed financial controls; and ensuring continued customer satisfaction and loyalty. - Manage risks and issues and direct/take corrective measurements. - Manage the program from contract/project award through completion. - Participate in Program Management Reviews to communicate achievements, challenges, and measurement of progress to internal and external stakeholders as needed. - Manage stakeholders’ communication and prepare communications and updates for management as needed. - Prepare technically accurate and timely reports related to the project or program. - Manage the main project documentation from project initiation through completion in accordance with the assigned program contractual requirements. - Ensure that invoices are properly prepared in accordance with contractual terms and are issued to clients in a timely manner. - Stay actively informed concerning technical, business and management developments affecting present and potential customers and communicate this information promptly to the appropriate managers. - Prepare and submit time charge records, expense reports, and invoice approvals in a timely manner in accordance with company and contract procedures. - Review and influence projects to assure projects are executed in accord company's quality requirements. - Performs on-site client visits as necessary. - Influence company performance by providing direction to professional or technical staff on contractual matters. - Identify contract issues and respond to a variety of complex inquiries while providing leadership in developing innovative solutions. Now "What You Will Need" section: Education and Experience: "Typically requires a bachelor’s degree in engineering or a relevant discipline and at least 3 years of experience in the marine industry or related industry Preferably a master’s degree in Project Management, Engineering Management, MBA, or other relevant disciplines. At least two (2) to five (5) years of industry experience with a significant understanding of the ABS business model and demonstrated experience in managing cross-functional projects preferred." We need to keep that exactly. Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities list: - Ability to speak and write English fluently to conduct detailed business and technical communication at a professional level. - Exceptional knowledge and handling of project management methodology and techniques. - Ability to multitask and manage a portfolio of cross-functional programs and projects – work prioritization, planning, collaboration, and management. - Proven track record of taking ownership and driving results. - Demonstrated leadership with the ability to effectively lead and work with a variety of organizations, management, levels, cultures, and personalities. - Realization of financial aspects of approved business plans and budgets pertaining to the program. - Strategic and analytical thinker with the ability to investigate the details and interpret the impact of key business drivers. - Superior problem-solving and decision-making skills. - Excellent business judgment, including the ability to assess the reasonableness and likelihood of success of various business scenarios. - Strong commitment to ethical business practices, in full accordance with ABS Operating Principles and Mission as well as corporate policies. - Excellent communication skills, with the ability to speak well in a group and/or client-facing environments. - Ability to develop a working knowledge of ABS Rules, Guides, statutory regulations, and related instructions, as well as the ABS Employee Safety Policy. - A significant understanding of the ABS business model and demonstrated experience in managing cross-functional projects. - Working knowledge of the ABS Health, Safety, Quality and Environmental Management System. Country Requirements: "For U.S. Government Programs, must be a U.S. citizen or ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) compliant. Preferred is to possess or the ability to obtain a security clearance for the program(s) being supported." Reporting Relationships: "Reports directly to a Portfolio Manager, Director, or Vice President." Could be under Requirements or maybe under About the role? Probably under Requirements as it's a requirement. About Us: company description; could be under About the role? But we already have About the role covering role description. Could add a separate About the role includes company description? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content accordingly. About Us could be placed under About the role as it's about the company, but maybe better to include under About the role as a brief description. However the instruction says "About the role" heading; we can put the role description there. The company description maybe not needed but it's substantive. Could we put it under About the role as a second paragraph? Probably okay. Benefits: list from "About Our Benefits": medical insurance (PPO and HD), dental and vision insurance, Health Savings Account (HSA), Flexible Savings Account (FSA), life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, disability leave programs, parental leave program, paid holidays, and paid vacation time. The Company provides an Employee Assistance Plan (EAP) that offers support in personal wellness, including work-life services. ABS Bureau also offers a 401K plan with a generous company match, subject to plan requirements. We need to output HTML fragment only. We must not include any markdown fences. We'll produce:

    We should not include Qualifications if no specific content besides maybe overlapping with Skills. The posting didn't have a separate Qualifications section besides Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities. So we omit Qualifications. We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information: we included everything except boilerplate. Check for duplicated lines: The text includes "Ability to develop a working knowledge of ABS Rules, Guides, statutory regulations, and related instructions, as well as the ABS Employee Safety Policy." and also "A significant understanding of the ABS business model and demonstrated experience in managing cross-functional projects." appears also in Education and Experience? Actually Education and Experience includes "significant understanding of the ABS business model and demonstrated experience in managing cross-functional projects preferred." That's similar but not duplicate exactly; we keep both. Now produce HTML. Be careful with special characters like &, etc. Use plain text. Let's craft. About the role paragraph: combine the initial job description paragraph and maybe the About Us description. Let's include both. Paragraph 1: "A Global Government Program Manager serves as the primary point of contact for the client and is responsible for leading the development, execution, and in-service growth of ABS products and services. The Global Government Program Manager provides program and contract focus, as well as timely appraisal to management, on work progress, schedule, budget, and technical problems, and recommends corrective actions to improve performance. Global Government Program Managers portfolio may include projects such as US Government projects (ITAR sensitive), International Government projects, key strategic commercial projects that support a government activity, as well as digital strategy focus areas such as the modernization of classification and cybersecurity. The Global Government Program Manager, work with internal stakeholders (ABS functional departments) in addition to external stakeholders (government agencies, shipbuilders, design agents, and operators) to ensure a successful outcome of assigned activities. Depending on business needs, this position could be assigned to several projects concurrently and may also be assigned to perform specific business development, client management, and contract management related functions to support ABS and the ABS Global Government Team." Paragraph 2 (About Us): "We set out more than 160 years ago to promote the security of life and property at sea and preserve the natural environment. Today, we remain true to our mission and continue to support organizations facing a rapidly evolving seascape of challenging regulations and new technologies.

    with two
