Project Manager II
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- Core Purpose and Core Values: maybe "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be summary of purpose and values. Could also be "Our Company". But we need to decide which sections to include.
We have:
- Core Purpose: Building enduring relationships and strong communities
- Core Values: list (Integrity, Commitment, Teamwork, Value People)
- Our Company: description (founded 1897, etc.)
- Summary: description of position responsibilities (planning, directing, coordinating activities)
- Essential Duties and Responsibilities: long list of duties
- Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: list
- Preferred Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: list (ViewPoint software, driver's license, travel 25-75%)
- Physical Demands: description
- Salary Range: $102,000 to $140,000 annually, plus auto allowance and discretionary incentive program.
- Why KA?: benefits description (Total Rewards package)
- Also "Make A Positive Impact EOE / Vets / Disabled" is boilerplate EEO; remove.
We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role" (core purpose/values/company summary), "Responsibilities" (essential duties), "Requirements" (required knowledge/skills/abilities), "Qualifications" maybe combine required and preferred? But we can have "Qualifications" for required, and "Preferred Qualifications" maybe not needed as separate heading? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose among those. We need to avoid filler.
We have Pay: salary range given. So we can have
Pay
with Salary Range: $102,000 to $140,000 annually, plus auto allowance and discretionary incentive program.
We have Benefits: description of Total Rewards package. So Benefits
with - items.
We have Schedule? Not given explicitly. Travel 25-75% maybe schedule? But schedule heading only if posting actually states schedule. It mentions travel percentage, not schedule. So we should not create Schedule section.
We have Skills? Could be part of Requirements/Qualifications. But we could have a Skills section if we list skills. However we have Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities and Preferred Knowledge, Skills And Abilities. Could combine into Requirements and Qualifications. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we make one section "Requirements" that includes both required and preferred? But we need to preserve all info. Could separate Required and Preferred as subheadings? Not allowed because only those headings list. Could use
Requirements
for required, and Qualifications
for preferred? But Qualifications might be similar. However we need to avoid filler. Let's think.
We have:
- Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: Bachelor's degree, 7 years experience, computer proficiency, communication skills, ability to work under pressure, time management, compliance, work ethic, confidence, feedback, inspire/motivate, team experience, problem solving, continuous improvement.
- Preferred Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: Knowledge of ViewPoint software, Valid Driver's License, ability to maintain satisfactory MVR, adhere to KA Motor Vehicle Policy, Travel 25-75%.
We could make a section "Requirements" for required, and another "Qualifications" for preferred (or skills). But we need to avoid duplication. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Having both Requirements and Qualifications might be okay if each has substantive content.
We also have "Physical Demands". Could be part of Requirements? But we could make a separate section "Requirements" includes physical demands? However physical demands is not a skill/knowledge but a demand. Could be part of Requirements. But we might create a section "Requirements" that includes required knowledge, skills, abilities, and physical demands. That would be substantive.
Alternatively, we could have "Requirements" for required knowledge/skills, "Qualifications" for preferred, and "Physical Demands" maybe not needed as separate heading because not in list. But we could incorporate physical demands into Requirements.
We also have "About the role": could include core purpose, core values, company description, summary. That seems substantive.
Thus sections:
- About the role (core purpose, values, company, summary)
- Responsibilities (essential duties)
- Requirements (required knowledge/skills/abilities + physical demands)
- Qualifications (preferred knowledge/skills/abilities)
- Benefits
- Pay
We should not include Schedule.
Now we need to format.
For each section:
About the role
...
maybe include multiple paragraphs? Could combine core purpose, values, company, summary into one paragraph or multiple . The instruction: use
for prose. So we can have multiple
elements.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the exact sentences? We can paraphrase? It says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. That suggests we should keep the information but we can rephrase? Safer to keep the original wording but maybe break into bullet lists where appropriate.
For About the role: we have Core Purpose, Core Values list, Our Company description, Summary. We'll include them as paragraphs.
We need to avoid boilerplate like "Core Purpose: Building enduring relationships and strong communities". Keep that sentence.
Core Values: list each value with description. Could be
- Integrity – Do the right thing…always be respectful, honest and fair
etc.
Our Company: paragraph.
Summary: paragraph.
Now Responsibilities: we have Essential Duties and Responsibilities list (many items). We'll output as - each duty.
We need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines. The list includes some repeated sentences like "Reviews project proposal, plans and specifications..." appears twice (once in Essential Duties and again in "Assists in proposal writing..."). Actually there is duplication: "Reviews project proposal, plans and specifications to determine time frame, funding limitations, procedures for accomplishing project, staffing requirements and allotment of available resources to various phases of project." appears both in Essential Duties and later in "Assists in proposal writing...". We need to preserve all substantive info but remove duplicated lines. So we should include each unique duty only once. We need to deduplicate.
Let's extract the duties from the text:
Essential Duties and Responsibilities include the following. Other duties may be assigned.
List:
1. Reviews project proposal, plans and specifications to determine time frame, funding limitations, procedures for accomplishing project, staffing requirements and allotment of available resources to various phases of project.

16. Assists in directing strategic planning and provides leadership role in business development and client relations.

We need to remove duplicate #13 (same as #1). Also #14 "Assist in the mentoring and development of internal talent" maybe should be "Assists". Keep.

Physical Demands
but not in allowed list? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive list? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)."
