Project Manager
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, remove boilerplate like EEO, duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, scam-warning, application instructions. Also remove duplicated "About Aptive" paragraph appears twice; we should keep only one instance.
We need to include sections: About the role (maybe the introductory paragraph describing role), Responsibilities (list of primary responsibilities), Requirements (maybe minimum qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe education/experience?), Skills (maybe PMP certification etc). However we need to decide based on content.
The posting includes:
- Intro paragraph: "As a Project Manager supporting the VA's DEAN (Discovery, Education, and Affiliate Networks) Operations and Initiative Transformation effort, you will manage individual projects and workstreams within a large-scale program, ensuring assigned deliverables are planned, executed, and closed out on scope, on schedule, and within budget. Working under the direction of the Task Order Project Lead (TOPL) / Program Manager, you will support the execution of complex, high-visibility initiatives within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), directly contributing to program goals that improve the health outcomes and experience of Veterans across an integrated Health Care System. The ideal candidate is a detail-oriented, results-driven project manager who is comfortable operating in fast-paced federal environments, works well within a broader program governance structure, and can translate project-level objectives into executable, measurable plans."
That could be "About the role".
Then "Primary Responsibilities" list bullet points.
Then "Minimum Qualifications" list bullet points (including experience, degree, ability to obtain clearance, etc). Also includes "Active Project Management Professional (PMP) certification or comparable quality-equivalent certification is required at time of hire, with a minimum of four years' experience supporting a large corporation or government agency, preferably a large Health Care organization." That's a qualification.
Then "Familiarity with standard operations of VHA preferred." etc.
Then "About Aptive" description.
Thus we can map:
- About the role: intro paragraph.
- Responsibilities: list of primary responsibilities.
- Requirements: maybe the minimum qualifications (experience, degree, clearance, work authorization, etc). Could be separate from Qualifications.
- Qualifications: maybe education, PMP certification, etc. But we need to avoid duplication. The instructions: Use headings for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include only those with real content.
We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (education, PMP, etc). Skills maybe not explicitly listed; we could omit Skills if no specific skill list. Benefits, Pay, Schedule omitted.
We must not include placeholder text. So we will not include Skills heading.
We need to format lists with
- . For prose, use
.
We need to avoid repeating duplicated lines. The "About Aptive" appears twice; we will include once.
We need to remove EEO statement, etc.
We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information: include details about VA DEAN, VHA, etc.
Let's extract content.
Intro paragraph (About the role):
"As a Project Manager supporting the VA's DEAN (Discovery, Education, and Affiliate Networks) Operations and Initiative Transformation effort, you will manage individual projects and workstreams within a large-scale program, ensuring assigned deliverables are planned, executed, and closed out on scope, on schedule, and within budget. Working under the direction of the Task Order Project Lead (TOPL) / Program Manager, you will support the execution of complex, high-visibility initiatives within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), directly contributing to program goals that improve the health outcomes and experience of Veterans across an integrated Health Care System. The ideal candidate is a detail-oriented, results-driven project manager who is comfortable operating in fast-paced federal environments, works well within a broader program governance structure, and can translate project-level objectives into executable, measurable plans."
Responsibilities (Primary Responsibilities bullet list):
- Serve as Project Manager for one or more projects within the DEAN program, providing day-to-day management of assigned project activities and ensuring deliverables are completed on scope, on schedule, and within budget.
- Plan, initiate, manage, execute, and close out assigned projects in support of VHA's integrated health care system, applying structured project management methodologies aligned with PMI standards and federal contracting requirements.
- Support the Task Order Project Lead (TOPL) / Program Manager by providing project-level status updates, escalating risks and issues, and recommending mitigation strategies to advance DEAN mission objectives.
- Develop and maintain project management artifacts including project schedules, risk and issue logs, action item trackers, and status reports in accordance with VA documentation standards.
- Coordinate with internal project teams, VA program offices, and partner contractors to align efforts, resolve dependencies, and drive execution of assigned workstreams within the broader DEAN transformation initiative.
- Monitor project performance metrics, participate in lessons-learned reviews, and support continuous improvement of project execution processes in alignment with VHA's operational standards.
Minimum Qualifications (Requirements):
- Minimum of 4 years of demonstrated experience (with a BA/BS Degree) successfully managing a large-scale program, encompassing multiple projects, with a total lifecycle budget and complexity comparable to the task order at hand, including at least 4 years supporting a large corporation, government agency, or health care organization.
- BA/BS Degree in a relevant field such as Healthcare Administration, Business Administration, Public Administration, or related discipline, with commensurate experience as outlined above.
- Experience shall include planning, initiating, managing, executing, and closing out programs or projects in support of an agency's mission.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a VA Position of Public Trust clearance (Tier 2 / MBI) and comply with all VA information security, privacy, and system access requirements including VA PIV credentialing and relevant onboarding standards.
- Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without current or future sponsorship; this position is subject to federal contractor employment eligibility verification (E-Verify).
- Active Project Management Professional (PMP) certification or comparable quality-equivalent certification is required at time of hire, with a minimum of four years' experience supporting a large corporation or government agency, preferably a large Health Care organization.
- Familiarity with standard operations of VHA preferred.
- Demonstrated ability to engage effectively with organizational leadership preferred.
- Knowledge of the DEAN mission and function preferred.
But note that some of these are "preferred" not required. Still we can include them.
We might separate Requirements (mandatory) vs Qualifications (preferred). However the instruction says use headings as given; we can decide to put mandatory under Requirements and preferred under Qualifications. But we have both required and preferred mixed. Let's parse:
Minimum Qualifications section includes:
- Minimum of 4 years of demonstrated experience (with a BA/BS Degree) successfully managing a large-scale program... (required)
- BA/BS Degree in a relevant field... (required)
- Experience shall include planning... (required)
- Ability to obtain and maintain a VA Position of Public Trust clearance... (required)
- Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without current or future sponsorship; this position is subject to federal contractor employment eligibility verification (E-Verify). (required)
- Active Project Management Professional (PMP) certification or comparable quality-equivalent certification is required at time of hire, with a minimum of four years' experience supporting a large corporation or government agency, preferably a large Health Care organization. (required)
- Familiarity with standard operations of VHA preferred. (preferred)
- Demonstrated ability to engage effectively with organizational leadership preferred. (preferred)
- Knowledge of the DEAN mission and function preferred. (preferred)
Thus we could put all under Requirements (since they are all part of Minimum Qualifications). Or we could split: Requirements = mandatory items, Qualifications = preferred items. But the heading list includes both Requirements and Qualifications; we can use both.
Thus:
Requirements (mandatory):
- Minimum of 4 years of demonstrated experience (with a BA/BS Degree) successfully managing a large-scale program, encompassing multiple projects, with a total lifecycle budget and complexity comparable to the task order at hand, including at least 4 years supporting a large corporation, government agency, or health care organization.
- BA/BS Degree in a relevant field such as Healthcare Administration, Business Administration, Public Administration, or related discipline, with commensurate experience as outlined above.
- Experience shall include planning, initiating, managing, executing, and closing out programs or projects in support of an agency's mission.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a VA Position of Public Trust clearance (Tier 2 / MBI) and comply with all VA information security, privacy, and system access requirements including VA PIV credentialing and relevant onboarding standards.
- Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without current or future sponsorship; this position is subject to federal contractor employment eligibility verification (E-Verify).
- Active Project Management Professional (PMP) certification or comparable quality-equivalent certification is required at time of hire, with a minimum of four years' experience supporting a large corporation or government agency, preferably a large Health Care organization.
Qualifications (preferred):
- Familiarity with standard operations of VHA preferred.
- Demonstrated ability to engage effectively with organizational leadership preferred.
- Knowledge of the DEAN mission and function preferred.
We could also include "About Aptive" as maybe "About the company" but not in headings list. Could be placed under a generic paragraph without heading? The instructions: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. It might be okay to add a heading like "About Aptive" but not in the list; but better to avoid extra headings not listed. Could just put it as a
after the sections without a heading. However the instruction says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies those are the allowed headings; we should not add other headings. So we should incorporate About Aptive content into a paragraph without a heading, maybe after Qualifications. Or we could treat it as "About the role" but that's already used. Better to add a paragraph after Qualifications without heading.
Thus final HTML:

We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO, duplicated lines, navigation, etc. Also we removed duplicated "About Aptive" paragraph.
Check for any placeholders like "commensurate with experience" - we have that phrase in the BA/BS line: "with commensurate experience as outlined above." That's not a placeholder; it's referencing earlier. It's okay.
