Information TechnologyFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro paragraph: "At NASCAR, you will work alongside passionate people creating experiences fans feel and helping shape the future of sports and entertainment. NASCAR is seeking an experienced Project Manager, Event Race Project Management, to lead the planning, execution, and delivery of Media and Event Technology initiatives. This role will drive complex technical projects across software applications, API integrations, and live event technology environments. The ideal candidate is a collaborative leader with strong Agile project management expertise and a proven ability to partner with cross-functional teams to deliver high-impact technology solutions." That's like a summary. Could be "About the role" heading. Then "What You'll Do" list of responsibilities. Then "What You'll Bring" list of qualifications. Then "Why This Role?" maybe a section "Why This Role?" or "About the team"? Could be "Why This Role?" as a heading. Also there is mention of travel: "Travel: Approximately 5%, including occasional weekends." That's schedule info. So we can include a Schedule section. Also mention "Based in our Charlotte, NC office". Could be location but not required. Also mention "This job has no supervisory responsibilities." Could be included in responsibilities or as note. Also mention "Our people are the key to our success. That is why we offer competitive compensation, a comprehensive benefits package focused on wellness, and opportunities to grow and develop both personally and professionally." That's benefits and compensation mention but not specific numbers. We cannot create Pay or Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It says "competitive compensation, a comprehensive benefits package focused on wellness". That's generic but still states benefits exist. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state benefits package and competitive compensation, albeit vague. Should we include Benefits and Pay sections? It says "competitive compensation" and "comprehensive benefits package". That is stating benefits exist, but not details. The instruction says: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". Here "competitive compensation" is somewhat vague but not exactly placeholder like "commensurate with experience". It's still vague but maybe acceptable? The instruction says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state them, albeit generic. I'd include a Benefits section with that sentence, and maybe a Pay section with "competitive compensation". However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine Benefits and Pay into one? But headings are prescribed: Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Could we omit Pay and Benefits if they are too vague? The instruction says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state them, so we could create them. But also "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." If we create Benefits and Pay with just a sentence each, that's thin. Might be better to omit them and incorporate that info into another section like "About the role" or "Why This Role?" However the instruction says we must not create those sections unless posting actually states them. It doesn't say we must create them if they are stated; it's permissible but not required. So we can choose to omit to avoid thin sections. I'd omit Pay and Benefits sections, and include Schedule section (travel). Also maybe a Location section? Not in prescribed headings; we could put location in a short paragraph under About the role. Thus sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Requirements (What You'll Bring), Why This Role? (maybe as a separate section), Schedule (Travel). Also maybe "Location" not needed. We must use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: EEO, scam-warning, application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal, duplicated lines, etc. Also remove "Explore this opportunity and apply at www.careers.nascar.com." etc. Also remove "Follow us on LinkedIn and X..." etc. Also remove "To help us get to know you accurately..." etc. Also remove "Our people are the key to our success..." if we omitted benefits; but we might keep that sentence as part of Benefits if we included; but we omitted. So we can remove that sentence entirely. Also remove "NASCAR is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc. Also remove "Behind every race weekend are talented people..." maybe keep as part of intro? It's somewhat boilerplate but still part of the posting's motivational language. Might be considered substantive? It's more fluff. Might be okay to keep but it's not essential. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." That sentence is not exactly those categories; it's more motivational. I'd keep it maybe in About the role. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information. The motivational sentences may be considered substantive? Probably yes, they are part of the posting. We'll keep them. Now let's extract content. Intro paragraph: "At NASCAR, you will work alongside passionate people creating experiences fans feel and helping shape the future of sports and entertainment. NASCAR is seeking an experienced Project Manager, Event Race Project Management, to lead the planning, execution, and delivery of Media and Event Technology initiatives. This role will drive complex technical projects across software applications, API integrations, and live event technology environments. The ideal candidate is a collaborative leader with strong Agile project management expertise and a proven ability to partner with cross-functional teams to deliver high-impact technology solutions." We could also include the sentence: "Behind every race weekend are talented people helping shape the future of sports and entertainment." That's later. Also "If you are ready to make an impact alongside passionate teammates, we encourage you to apply." That's application instruction; remove. Now Responsibilities (What You'll Do): list bullet points: - Lead the planning, execution, monitoring, and delivery of multiple technology projects using Agile methodologies. - Own operational readiness and support execution across NASCAR's live event technology ecosystem. - Coordinate integration teams, technology partners, OEM vendors, and competition technology stakeholders. - Manage project plans, timelines, resource allocation, risks, dependencies, and deliverables. - Oversee software development backlogs and workflows using Jira. - Facilitate project status meetings and provide clear updates to stakeholders and leadership. - Identify, mitigate, and escalate project risks and issues to ensure successful outcomes. - Collaborate with business partners, vendors, and technical teams to define project requirements and objectives. - Champion Agile best practices and quality assurance processes to ensure successful project delivery. - Drive consistent, predictable results with a strong focus on stakeholder satisfaction and operational excellence. - Support live events and strategic initiatives as needed, including occasional travel. - Travel: Approximately 5%, including occasional weekends. (maybe schedule) - This job has no supervisory responsibilities. We need to separate travel into Schedule section. Now Requirements (What You'll Bring): list bullet points: - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Business, or a related field, or equivalent experience. - 5+ years of experience managing technical projects in software development, technology operations, or related environments. - Strong understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). - Experience managing projects involving custom applications, APIs, integrations, and cloud-based technologies. - Demonstrated success leading projects utilizing Agile methodologies, including Scrum and Kanban; familiarity with Waterfall and Hybrid approaches. - Proficiency with Jira or similar project management platforms. - Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to communicate effectively across technical and non-technical audiences. - Proven ability to manage multiple priorities, meet deadlines, and thrive in fast-paced environments. - Excellent analytical, problem-solving, organizational, and decision-making skills. - Self-starter who can work independently while driving alignment across teams. - PMP, PMI-ACP, CAPM, or similar project management certification. - Experience supporting technology operations in live event, media, sports, or entertainment environments. Now Why This Role? section: paragraphs: - "This is an opportunity to lead technology initiatives that power some of the most visible events in sports. As a Project Manager, you'll partner with cross-functional teams to deliver innovative Media and Event Technology solutions that drive business performance and enhance the fan experience." - "Based in our Charlotte, NC office, you'll play a key role in shaping project delivery, influencing technology strategy, and ensuring operational excellence across NASCAR's event ecosystem." - "If you enjoy solving complex challenges, leading diverse stakeholders, and seeing your work come to life on race weekends, this role offers a unique opportunity to make a lasting impact." - Maybe also include the sentence: "Behind every race weekend are talented people helping shape the future of sports and entertainment." Could fit here. Now Schedule: Travel: Approximately 5%, including occasional weekends. We could also mention occasional travel from responsibilities. Now produce HTML:
