Pursuits Manager - Education, Science and Sports
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content.
We must preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate, no duplicate lines, no EEO, etc.
We need to extract content.
Let's parse:
Intro: "At HDR, our employee-owners are fully engaged in creating a welcoming environment where each of us is valued and respected, a place where everyone is empowered to bring their authentic selves and novel ideas to work every day. As we foster a culture of inclusion throughout our company and within our communities, we constantly ask ourselves: What is our impact on the world? Watch Our Story:' https://www.hdrinc.com/our-story' Each and every role throughout our organization makes a difference in our ability to change the world for the better. Read further to learn how you could help make great things possible not only in your community, but around the world."
That's about company culture, could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is more about the position. The intro is about HDR culture, not specific role. Might be considered "About the role"? Usually "About the role" includes description of role. The posting then says: "HDR is adding an experienced, strategic, and collaborative Pursuits Manager to support our Education, Science, and Sports practice. This individual will lead a team of pursuit specialists and partner with sector leaders, principals, designers, planners, researchers, engineers, strategists, and marketing and communications colleagues to position HDR for success on pursuits. The Pursuits Manager will oversee the pursuit team and process from early positioning through proposal development, interviews, and post-pursuit follow-up. This role requires someone who can see the larger strategic picture while also providing the leadership, structure, coaching, and quality oversight needed to deliver compelling, client-focused submissions. As a key member of the Architecture Marketing Studio team, the Pursuits Manager will connect people, information, and opportunities across EdSciSport. The successful candidate will be passionate about competitive pursuits, team development, design excellence, and communicating the value HDR brings to its clients and communities. This position is ideal for a leader who understands what makes a pursuit successful, enjoys developing others, and thrives in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment."
That's role description. Could be "About the role". Then "The successful Pursuits Manager will:" list bullet points (Build trusted relationships...). Those are responsibilities. Then "Primary Responsibilities" heading with many bullet points. Then "Preferred Qualifications" list. Then "Required Qualifications" list. Then "What We Believe" etc (culture). Then "Our Commitment" (benefits description). Then compensation range and location. Then schedule: "Schedule:Full-time". Employee Status: Regular. BusinessClass: Marketing and Admin. Job Posting date.
We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide what goes where.
- About the role: could be the introductory paragraph(s) describing the role (the paragraph after "HDR is adding...").
- Responsibilities: combine the bullet list under "The successful Pursuits Manager will:" and the "Primary Responsibilities" list.
- Requirements: maybe "Required Qualifications". Could be separate from Qualifications? The instruction says use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content to these headings. Likely:
- Requirements: Required Qualifications (mandatory).
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (preferred).
- Skills: maybe combine skill-related items from both? Could extract skills like expertise in Adobe InDesign, familiarity with Adobe Creative Cloud, experience managing team, demonstrated experience winning high-value contracts, knowledge of markets, experience managing pursuit workloads, staffing assignments, budgets, competing priorities, strong graphic design and layout awareness, familiarity with CRM systems, pursuit data, knowledge-management tools, marketing asset platforms, experience coaching technical professionals for shortlist interviews and client presentations, cover letter submitted (maybe not skill), etc. Also required qualifications include: minimum 10 years experience, self-starter, deep knowledge of A/E/C industry procurement, ability to motivate and inspire others, maintain professional or engineering registration or certificate or related technical experience, experience in sales and developing effective win strategies, excellent written and verbal communication skills, proficient in Microsoft Office, ability and desire to travel, demonstrated experience in writing compelling content based on information from technical staff.
So Skills could be a list of skills (like communication, Microsoft Office, travel, writing, etc). But we might just put all skill-like items under Skills.
However we must not invent sections; we need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. So we need to see if there is explicit content for Skills. The posting does not have a dedicated "Skills" heading, but we can extract skill-related content from Required and Preferred qualifications. The instruction says we can use Skills heading if we have content. It's okay to create a Skills section with bullet points derived from the posting, as long as we don't invent info. We just reformat existing info.
Similarly Benefits: The posting includes "We provide a comprehensive benefits package that promotes employee ownership, employee health, performance, and success, which includes medical, dental, vision, short and long-term disability, life insurance, an employee assistance program, paid time away, parental leave, paid holidays, a retirement savings plan with employer match, employee referral bonus and tuition reimbursement." Also note about temporary/part-time limited benefits. So we have benefits content.
Pay: The posting includes compensation range: "The expected compensation range for this position depends upon skills, experience, education and geographical location. (Stated benefits are for full-time regular positions. Temporary and part-time roles eligible for limited benefits.) Pennington, NJ – $147,637.00 - $210,910.00; Arlington, VA and Seattle, WA – $154,056.00 - $220,080.00". So we have pay info.
Schedule: The posting includes "Schedule:Full-time". Also Employee Status: Regular. So we have schedule.
Thus we can include all sections.
Now we need to format with headings, - for lists,
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So remove the EEO statement at end, also remove "At HDR, we are committed to the principles of employment equity..." etc. Also remove "Watch Our Story:' https://www.hdrinc.com/our-story'" maybe it's a link but it's not boilerplate? It's part of intro but could be considered navigation? It's a link to story; maybe keep as part of prose? It's not essential but it's part of the intro. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The link to our-story is not necessarily boilerplate; it's part of the intro describing culture. Might keep but it's a URL; we can keep as plain text.
We also need to remove duplicated lines: there may be repeated sentences? Not obvious.
Now craft HTML.
Structure:
About the role
... (the role description paragraph(s) maybe combine intro about HDR culture? Actually About the role should focus on role. We'll include the paragraph starting "HDR is adding an experienced, strategic, and collaborative Pursuits Manager..." up to "fast-paced, highly collaborative environment." Also maybe include the earlier culture paragraph? That is more about company, not role. Might be better to put that under About the role? But the instruction says use heading for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. The intro about HDR culture could be considered "About the role"? Not exactly. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information. If we omit that intro, we lose info about HDR culture. Could we put it under About the role as a preamble? It's still substantive about the company, but maybe acceptable. The heading "About the role" could include both company culture and role description. But to be safe, we could create a section "About the role" that includes the role description; and we could also include the earlier culture paragraph under same section as it's still about the role context. It's not a separate heading like "About the company". There's no heading for company overview. So we can put it there.
Thus About the role p: combine the initial culture paragraph and the role description paragraph(s). Ensure we don't repeat.
Let's extract:
Culture paragraph: "At HDR, our employee-owners are fully engaged in creating a welcoming environment where each of us is valued and respected, a place where everyone is empowered to bring their authentic selves and novel ideas to work every day.

Role description paragraph: "HDR is adding an experienced, strategic, and collaborative Pursuits Manager to support our Education, Science, and Sports practice. This individual will lead a team of pursuit specialists and partner with sector leaders, principals, designers, planners, researchers, engineers, strategists, and marketing and communications colleagues to position HDR for success on pursuits.

We can combine into one or two
elements. Probably separate paragraphs.
Now Responsibilities: combine bullet lists.
First bullet list under "The successful Pursuits Manager will:" includes:
- Build trusted relationships with pursuit professionals, principals, and sector leaders.
- Develop and support a high-performing, connected, and efficient pursuit team.
- Deliver consistent, high-quality, client-focused pursuit materials and interviews.
- Improve visibility into opportunities, priorities, workload, and resource needs.
- Promote cross-sector collaboration, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement.
- Balance process consistency with the flexibility needed to respond to different clients, markets, and opportunities.
Second list under "Primary Responsibilities" includes many items:
- Lead and support priority pursuits for the Education, Science, and Sports sectors, primarily in the United States with opportunities to support global pursuits.
- Manage, mentor, and develop a team of pursuit professionals through workload oversight, coaching, feedback, career development, and training in pursuit strategy, proposal development, facilitation, quality, and best practices.
- Lead pursuit teams through the complete pursuit lifecycle, including planning, strategy, messaging, work planning, schedule development, milestone reviews, proposal production, interview preparation, submission, and follow-up.
- Facilitate pursuit strategy and kickoff meetings that align teams around client needs, differentiators, win themes, responsibilities, and desired outcomes.
- Oversee the development of persuasive, client-focused proposals, qualifications, presentations, and interview materials.
- Manage pursuit workflows,
