Reporting Services Analyst Administrator III
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content to these headings appropriately.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We must include a section only when posting has real specific content. So we need to decide which sections to include.
We have Pay: The posting includes "GRADE STD0018 $76,608.00 - $99,105 with progression to $120,814.00/year State Salary Guidelines may apply for current State employees." That's pay info. So we can have a Pay section.
Schedule: "This position is Telework Eligible but is required to report to the office 2 days per week." That's schedule info. So Schedule section.
Benefits: There's a Benefits section: "STATE OF MARYLAND BENEFITS ..." So Benefits section.
Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications, Selective Qualifications, Desired Or Preferred Qualifications. Could combine into Requirements or Qualifications. Use for Qualifications maybe.
Responsibilities: Position Duties (list). So Responsibilities.
About the role: Introduction and Main Purpose of Job could be About the role.
Skills: maybe from Desired Or Preferred Qualifications (Power BI, Stata, etc.) Could be Skills.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to turn lists into
- . For prose use
.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. We need to remove navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes some boilerplate at end: "As an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Should remove.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract content.
Introduction: "The Maryland Longitudinal Data System (MLDS) Center is an independent state agency that develops and maintains a data system containing student and workforce data from all levels of public education, child and youth services, and the State’s workforce. The mission of the MLDS Center is to generate timely and accurate information about student performance that can be used to improve the State’s education system and guide decision makers at all levels."
Main Purpose of Job: "The MLDS Center develops and maintains a data system containing student and workforce data from all levels of public education, child and youth services, and the State’s workforce. This position is responsible for developing interactive reports, dashboards, data requests, and other analyses that are relied upon by policymakers and practitioners to improve education and student outcomes. Reporting directly to the Director of Reporting Services, this position translates complex data into timely, policy-relevant, actionable insights."
We can combine these into About the role.
Position Duties list: multiple bullet-like sentences separated by periods. We need to turn each duty into
- . Let's list them:
- Design, develop, and maintain, high-impact interactive reports and dashboards that translate complex data into concise, policy-relevant insights.
- Legislatively Mandated Reports and Dashboards: Design, develop, and maintain high-quality reports and dashboards required under state statute that fulfill all reporting requirements and are completed by required deadlines.
- Completes special projects requested by the Director of Reporting Services.
- Fulfill general data requests and data request and analyses that support state and federal reporting requirement for other state agencies and institutions.
- Leverage statistical and data visualization software to streamline coding, construct data sets, transform complex variables, and apply analytical best practices to workflows.
- Rigorously review all Center output to ensure strict compliance with state/federal privacy laws and data suppression and redaction requirements.
- Represent the MLDS Center at legislative hearings, agency meetings, and professional conferences.
Note: Some sentences have colon etc. We'll keep as is.
Minimum Qualifications: Education: Graduation from an accredited high school or possession of a high school equivalency certificate. Experience: Six years of administrative staff or professional work. Notes: Candidates may substitute 30 college credit hours from an accredited college or university for each year up to four years of the required experience. Candidates may substitute the possession of a Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university and two years of experience in administrative staff or professional work for the required experience. Candidates may substitute the possession of a Master's degree from an accredited college or university for the required experience. Candidates may substitute U.S. Armed Forces military service experience as a commissioned officer involving staff work related to the administration of rules, regulations, policy, procedures and processes, or overseeing or coordinating unit operations or functioning as a staff assistant to a higher ranking commissioned officer on a year-for-year basis for the required experience.
We need to preserve all that. Could format as
- for each bullet? It's not a list but we can still use
for prose. However rule: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. This is requirements; we could treat each substitution as list items. But we also have Education and Experience lines. Might be okay to use
for prose and
- for list items. Safer: Use
for the paragraph describing minimum qualifications, and then
- for each substitution note. But we need to preserve all info.
Selective Qualifications: "Two or more years of designing, developing, and/or maintaining high-impact interactive reports, presentations, policy reports, and/or dashboards that translate complex data into concise, policy-relevant insights using Power Bi, Stata, PowerPoint or similar presentation, visualization or statistical software."

We need to remove boilerplate like EEO etc. The Benefits section includes some boilerplate but it's part of Benefits instructions; we should keep the substantive benefits info? Actually the Benefits section is mostly instructions on how to apply, not benefits. The posting says "Benefits STATE OF MARYLAND BENEFITS FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS". It seems they placed benefits heading but then gave application instructions. There's no actual benefits description (like health insurance, retirement). So we should not create a Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does not state benefits like health, leave, etc. So we should omit Benefits section.
Thus we have sections: About the role (intro + main purpose), Responsibilities (duties), Qualifications (maybe combine Minimum, Selective, Desired), Skills (maybe from Desired), Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use Requirements for minimum qualifications, Qualifications for selective/desired? Or combine.
Better: Use Requirements for minimum qualifications, Qualifications for selective and desired, Skills for specific software skills.
But we must not create thin sections. Let's see content volume.
About the role: two paragraphs.
Responsibilities: list of 7 duties.
Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (education, experience, notes). That's substantive.
Qualifications: Selective Qualifications (one bullet) and Desired Or Preferred Qualifications (list of 6). That's substantive.
Skills: maybe we can extract specific skills like Power BI, Stata, PowerPoint, etc. But that overlaps with Qualifications. Could omit Skills section to avoid thin.
Pay: salary range.
Schedule: telework 2 days per week.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule.
Now we need to format.
Use
for each section heading.
Inside each section, use
for prose,
- for lists.
We must preserve all substantive information. Let's craft.
About the role: combine Introduction and Main Purpose of Job into maybe two paragraphs.
Paragraph 1: Introduction.
Paragraph 2: Main Purpose of Job.
Responsibilities: list each duty as
- .
Requirements: we need to include Education, Experience, and substitution notes. Could format as
Education: ...
etc. Or use - for each bullet: Education, Experience, Substitution notes (multiple). Might be clearer to use
for each.
But rule: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Requirements is a list of requirements, so we should use
- . So each requirement item as
- . However the substitution notes are multiple; we could break them into separate
- items.
Thus:
- Education: Graduation from an accredited high school or possession of a high school equivalency certificate.
- Experience: Six years of administrative staff or professional work.
- Substitution: Candidates may substitute 30 college credit hours from an accredited college or university for each year up to four years of the required experience.
