Program Manager (One Year Term)
Case Western Reserve University · Cleveland, OH · 3 wk ago
$49k–$62k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "POSITION OBJECTIVE" and "Essential Functions", "Nonessential Functions", "CONTACTS", "SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITY", "Qualifications", "Required Skills", "WORKING CONDITIONS". Also salary range and benefits are given early. So we need sections: About the role (maybe from POSITION OBJECTIVE), Responsibilities (Essential Functions), maybe Nonessential Functions could be part of responsibilities? But we can include as separate? The instruction: use headings for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should include only those headings that have real specific content.
We have salary range: $49,257 to $62,311. So we can have Pay section with that.
Benefits: "Employees receive more than just a paycheck. University employees enjoy a comprehensive benefits package that includes excellent healthcare, retirement plans, tuition assistance, paid time off, and a winter recess." Also note term employees not eligible for some benefits (life insurance, retirement, long term disability, short term disability, tuition assistance, layoff status, or severance pay). So we need to reflect that. The benefits section should include the comprehensive benefits package and note term employee limitations? Probably include both.
Schedule: "This is a full-time, 1 year term position." Also hybrid work arrangement up to two remote days per week. Also occasional weekends/evenings. So we can put schedule info.
Requirements: maybe Qualifications and Required Skills combined? The instruction: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide which to include. We have Qualifications (Experience, Education, driver's license). We have Required Skills (list). We could put Qualifications under Requirements heading? But better to have Qualifications heading and Skills heading. Requirements maybe not needed if we have Qualifications and Skills. But we can include Requirements heading with combined? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we might combine Qualifications and Skills into one section? But they said use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include Qualifications and Skills separate if they have content. That's fine.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must remove boilerplate like EEO etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information.

We need to output HTML fragment with headings:
About the role
(from POSITION OBJECTIVE).Responsibilities
(Essential Functions maybe plus Nonessential? Could combine but we can put Essential Functions under Responsibilities, and maybe Nonessential Functions under Responsibilities as well? But we could also have a separate section for Nonessential? Not in list. Probably include Nonessential under Responsibilities as a sublist? But we must use- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make a list for responsibilities.
We need to preserve all substantive information; we can break responsibilities into multiple
- lists? Probably one list with items.
We also need
Qualifications
andSkills
. Could also haveBenefits
,Pay
,Schedule
. Also maybeContacts
not in allowed headings; but we could omit if not in list. The instruction: "Usefor section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., not exclusive. But we should only include headings when posting has real specific content. Contacts and Supervisory Responsibility maybe not required headings; we could embed them under About the role or Responsibilities? But better to include them as part of About the role? However they are substantive. The instruction didn't forbid other headings, but gave examples. It says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests we should use those headings for sections; we could also use other headings if needed but better to stick to those. We can incorporate Contacts and Supervisory Responsibility into About the role or Responsibilities? Might be okay to add a
Contacts
but not in list; risk. Safer to omit those details? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include them somewhere. Could put them under About the role as a paragraph. Similarly Supervisory Responsibility could be under About the role. Thus we will have sections: About the role (includes position objective, contacts, supervisory responsibility). Responsibilities (essential + nonessential functions). Qualifications. Skills. Benefits. Pay. Schedule. We must not include headings with filler text. All have content. Now craft HTML. We'll need to escape any special
