We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Agency: Weber Shandwick - Job Function: Communications and PR - Subfunction: Public Relations - Title: Senior Associate (implied) - Location: New York office - Team: Global Crisis and Issues Practice, part of Weber Advisory group. - Description: helps leading orgs manage breaking negative issues, develop internal culture, etc. - Candidate Qualities: day-to-day leader among Associate-level staff, work with senior leadership, research, develop materials, staff projects, scope work, manage vendors, track budget, balance priorities, excellent writing, fast-paced, deadline-oriented, familiar with current events, translate knowledge into actionable insights, social/digital analytical fluency, strong academic record, demonstrated experience in issues management. - Our Team: description. - What You Will Be Doing: list of duties (bullets). - What We Are Looking For: list of desired qualifications/skills. - Basic Qualifications: 2-3 years experience, BA/BS preferably in certain fields, knowledge of basic PR skills, fluent in Microsoft Suite, proficiency in research/media/social monitoring platforms. - Pay: $68,000 - $78,000 (mentioned twice) - Schedule: Omnicom’s policy requires employees to work in the office for a minimum of three days a week, unless additional in-office days are directed by their agency or manager. Objective to increase this requirement over time, many agencies require five days. So schedule info: minimum three days in office, expectation possibly increase to five days. - Benefits: Not explicitly mentioned. There's mention of Omnicom's policy, inclusive teams, etc. No explicit benefits like health, retirement. So we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does not list benefits. So omit Benefits. - About the role: Could be a summary paragraph. We have description of role in first paragraphs. Could put under About the role. - Responsibilities: The "What You Will Be Doing" list. - Requirements: Could be "What We Are Looking For" plus maybe "Basic Qualifications". But we need to decide sections: Requirements vs Qualifications vs Skills. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide what goes where. Typically: - About the role: overview. - Responsibilities: duties. - Requirements: maybe basic qualifications (experience, education). - Qualifications: maybe desired qualifications/experience. - Skills: specific skills (writing, analytics, etc.) - Pay: salary range. - Schedule: office days. We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each section has substantive content. Let's extract content. About the role: Could combine first paragraphs: "The Weber Shandwick New York office is seeking a Senior Associate in New York to join its Global Crisis and Issues Practice. The Global Crisis and Issues team, part of the Weber Advisory group, helps leading organizations across the world both manage breaking negative issues and events affecting reputation and develop the internal culture and infrastructure needed to predict, prepare, and navigate them effectively. From conspiracy theories, environmental incidents and multinational bankruptcies to executive controversies and sweeping product recalls to high-profile litigation and fake news, we live at the front lines of media, culture, and conversation. Whether it is a program affecting internal stakeholders or an external effort to protect or defend an organization’s reputation, we work together with colleagues from around the country and globe daily, supplying crisis counsel to clients across industries and sectors, making deep curiosity a requisite for this position." That's substantive. Responsibilities: The bullet list under "What You Will Be Doing". Let's list each as
  • . - Serves as key team member to support a range of complex, high-profile corporate issues /crisis communications situations (i.e., cybersecurity issues, product safety issues and recalls, natural disaster response, executive leadership changes, IPOs etc.) - Drafts and reviews of press releases, crisis plans, media strategies, reactive media statements, talking points, FAQs, memos, crisis simulations and other deliverables as needed - Develops and reviews media and other stakeholder materials based on outline or direction developed with supervisors - Supports the monitoring and triaging of client issues including crisis/issues coverage reports, leveraging industry measurement and listening tools to identify opportunities for growth and strategic evolution - Liaises with clients and assists in client communications, including developing and coordinating routine account management materials - Prepares for and takes part in client meetings providing detailed recaps and leading action steps resulting from discussions - Partners with cross-functional teams to ensure flawless execution of the client business objectives - Leads small teams to conduct pressing research on a wide range of issues, reviews and prepare executive summaries and/or analyses of information into strategic and actionable recommendations - Serves as role model to team members, producing high quality work and continually updating manager on activity progress - Actively builds own knowledge, contributes to inclusive team culture and consistently displays behaviors that support integration - Participates in our A-Team's On-Duty rotational schedule covering evening and weekend hours, to handle critical client reports, ad-hoc research, and support emergent crises We need to ensure no duplication. The last bullet about A-Team On-Duty rotational schedule is also schedule-related but it's a responsibility. We'll keep it under Responsibilities. Requirements: Basic Qualifications: "2-3 years of professional experience: in an agency/strategic consulting firm, political campaign or organization, law or similar setting BA or BS, preferably in Political Science, history, journalism, International Relations or similar fields -Knowledge of basic PR skills and client service Fluent in Microsoft Suite (e.g., Word, PowerPoint, Excel) and proficiency in research, media and social monitoring platforms (e.g., Brandwatch, Sysomos, Cision, Muckrack, TV Eyes, Critical Mention, Lexis-Nexis)". Also maybe "Strong academic record is necessary". That's part of Candidate Qualities but could be under Requirements. Let's include: 2-3 years experience, BA/BS preferably in certain fields, knowledge of basic PR skills and client service, fluency in Microsoft Suite, proficiency in research/media/social monitoring platforms. Qualifications: Could be "What We Are Looking For" list: crisis communications, issues management, public affairs experience; strong understanding of social analytics and fluency in all social/digital platforms; clear understanding of media relations and media landscape; ability to provide strategic and actionable recommendations based on research; strong writing skills and meticulous attention to detail; sharp curiosity and analytical mind; resourceful, effective problem solver; highly effective oral and written communication skills; familiarity with corporate financials; ability to prioritize multiple tasks and manage deadlines; comfortable asking for help and providing direction; ability to take ownership, manage and see projects through; proactive self-starter and quick learner; strong work ethic. Skills: Could be overlapping but we can separate: maybe "Skills" includes writing, analytical, social analytics, media relations, research, communication, etc. But we already have many in Qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could put specific technical skills under Skills: fluency in Microsoft Suite, proficiency in research/media/social monitoring platforms, familiarity with corporate financials, social analytics fluency, etc. However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we might combine Qualifications and Skills? But we need to follow headings list; we can include both if they have distinct content. Let's think: Requirements = baseline (experience, education). Qualifications = desired experience/attributes. Skills = specific abilities (writing, analytics, etc.). That seems reasonable. Thus: - Requirements: 2-3 years professional experience in agency/strategic consulting, political campaign, law, etc.; BA/BS preferably in Political Science, history, journalism, International Relations or similar fields; knowledge of basic PR skills and client service; fluency in Microsoft Suite (Word, PowerPoint, Excel); proficiency in research, media and social monitoring platforms (Brandwatch, Sysomos, Cision, Muckrack, TV Eyes, Critical Mention, Lexis-Nexis). - Qualifications: Crisis communications, issues management, and/or public affairs experience; strong understanding of social analytics and fluency in all social/digital platforms, while keeping pace with social media/digital industry trends; clear understanding of media relations and media landscape influencing public perception; ability to provide strategic and actionable recommendations based on research; strong writing skills and meticulous attention to detail; sharp curiosity and an analytical mind; resourceful, effective problem solver; highly effective oral and written communication skills; familiarity with corporate financials; ability to prioritize multiple tasks and manage deadlines in a consistent manner; comfortable asking for help from and providing direction to team members; ability to take ownership, manage and see projects through from start to finish; proactive self-starter and a quick learner; strong work ethic. - Skills: Could be overlapping but maybe we can list: Excellent writing skills; analytical fluency in social/digital communications; ability to translate current events into actionable insights; ability to perform in fast-paced, deadline-oriented environment; ability to lead small teams; ability to conduct research and prepare executive summaries; ability to monitor and triage client issues; ability to draft press releases, crisis plans, media statements; ability to liaise with clients; ability to partner with cross-functional teams; ability to serve as role model; ability to build knowledge; ability to participate in on-duty rotational schedule. However many of these are already in Qualifications/Responsibilities. To avoid duplication, maybe we skip Skills section and combine into Qualifications. But the instruction says we can include sections only when posting has real specific content. It does not require us to use all headings. So we can omit Skills if it would be redundant. However we have distinct skill set: "Fluent in Microsoft Suite" and "proficiency in research, media and social monitoring platforms" are more like technical skills; we could put those under Skills. But we already put them under Requirements. Could move them to Skills and keep Requirements focused on experience/education. Let's decide: Requirements: experience and education. Skills: technical skills (Microsoft Suite, research/media/social monitoring platforms, familiarity with corporate financials). Also maybe "strong writing skills" etc. But writing is also in Qualifications. Might be okay to have some overlap but we should avoid duplication. Let's try to allocate: - Requirements: 2-3 years professional experience in agency/strategic consulting, political campaign, law, etc.; BA/BS preferably in Political Science, history, journalism, International Relations or similar fields. - Qualifications: Crisis communications, issues management, public affairs experience; strong understanding of social analytics and fluency in social/digital platforms; clear understanding of media relations; ability to provide strategic/actionable recommendations; strong writing skills and meticulous attention to detail; sharp curiosity and analytical mind; resourceful problem solver; highly effective oral/written communication; ability to prioritize tasks and manage deadlines; comfortable asking for help/providing direction; ability to take ownership; proactive self-starter; strong work ethic. - Skills: Fluency in Microsoft Suite (Word, PowerPoint, Excel); proficiency in research, media and social monitoring platforms (Brandwatch, Sysomos, Cision, Muckrack, TV Eyes, Critical Mention, Lexis-Nexis); familiarity with corporate financials. That seems distinct and non-duplicative. Pay: $68,000 - $78,000. Schedule: Omnicom’s policy requires employees to work in the office for a minimum of three days a week, unless additional in-office days are directed by their agency or manager. Objective to increase this requirement over time, many agencies require five days. So we can state: Minimum three days in-office per week, with expectation to increase to five days. We should not include Benefits section. Now produce HTML fragment with headings

    and appropriate
    • for lists,

      for prose. We need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO,
