Publishing Operations & Metadata Manager

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, About ATD (maybe not required but we can include if content), What You’ll Do (Responsibilities), What We’re Looking For (Requirements/Qualifications/Skills), Why Join Us (Benefits?), Work Environment (maybe Schedule? Actually work environment includes location and hybrid model; we could treat as Schedule? But schedule not given; we have location and hybrid model. Could be part of "Work Environment" but not a required heading; we can include as a section if we have content. The headings allowed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should map content accordingly. We have: - About The Role: description of department and role. That's suitable for

About the role

with paragraph. - About ATD: could be separate but not required heading; we could incorporate into About the role? But we have separate paragraph about ATD mission. Could be its own section but not in allowed headings; we could omit or put under About the role? Better to keep as a paragraph under About the role? The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., meaning those are examples; we can use those headings if we have content. It doesn't forbid other headings, but better to stick to those. We could treat "About ATD" as part of About the role or maybe we can omit. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop the ATD description. So we need to include it somewhere. Could put it under About the role as a second paragraph. - What You’ll Do: responsibilities list. Use

Responsibilities

with

• items. - What We’re Looking For: includes experience, education, skills etc. Could be split into Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We have: 4+ years related experience, Bachelor's degree, demonstrated successes, Advanced Excel, Intermediate to advanced Adobe Acrobat, Proven experience with databases and CMS, Strong analytical and communication skills, Superior critical thinking and creative problem-solving, Basic HTML knowledge, Highly attentive to detail, Self-starter, Association experience is a plus. We can map: Requirements: 4+ years experience, Bachelor's degree. Qualifications: demonstrated successes, Advanced Excel, Adobe Acrobat, experience with databases/CMS. Skills: analytical, communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, HTML knowledge, detail-oriented, self-starter, association experience plus. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. - Why Join Us: includes benefits description. Could be Benefits heading. Also includes Work Environment (location, hybrid). Could be Schedule? Not exactly. But we have location and hybrid model; could be under Schedule? Not really. Maybe we treat Work Environment as a separate section not in allowed headings but we could incorporate into Benefits? Better to create a section "Work Environment" but not allowed; but instruction says use those headings e.g., but not strictly limited? 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 add other headings if needed but better to stick to those. We have Pay: salary range given. So we need a Pay section with salary range. We have Benefits: list of benefits. So Benefits section. We have Schedule: not explicitly given; we have hybrid work model and location. Could treat as Schedule? Not exactly. But we could put location/hybrid under a section maybe "Work Environment" but not allowed. However we could drop schedule section if no specific schedule info (like hours). The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." We have Pay and Benefits stated. Schedule not stated (no hours, shift). So we should not create a Schedule section. We can include location/hybrid maybe under About the role or Benefits? Could be a paragraph under About the role or a separate paragraph not under a heading. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could add a paragraph after Benefits about work environment without a heading. That's allowed as prose

  . So we will not create a Schedule heading. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, Need Assistance, application instructions, cookie/navigation etc. Also remove "Current ATD Employees, click here to apply via your Workday account." and "If this opportunity aligns with your experience and interests, we’d love to hear from you!" (application instruction). Also remove "* Salary Range:" and "* Benefits:" maybe keep content but remove the asterisks. Also remove bullet points formatting; we will use

  • . We need to preserve all substantive information: include all duties, requirements, benefits, salary range, work environment description. Let's extract: About The Role paragraph: "ATD’s Production, Editorial and Creative department is responsible for editing, designing, producing, and distributing ATD’s publications, which include 10+ books annually, two bi-monthly periodicals, research reports, and white papers.
