Senior Associate, Crisis Communications
for each section. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes EEO statement at end: "For US Job Seekers It is the policy of Omnicom...". That's boilerplate; remove. Also "We will process your personal data..." etc. Remove.
Also duplicate "$68,000 USD - $78,000 USD" appears twice; keep once.
We need to structure content.
Let's extract sections:
About the role: maybe first paragraph: "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 about the role/team.
Candidate Qualities: maybe "As a Senior Associate, you will have the unique opportunity to help drive communications around these challenging and exciting projects. You will be a day-to-day leader among the team’s Associate-level staff, working directly with senior leadership to help drive research, develop materials, staff projects, scope work, manage vendors, track budget and balance multiple shifting priorities in real-time. The ideal candidate will have excellent writing skills and the ability to perform in a fast-paced, deadline-oriented environment. You will be intimately familiar with current events and news trends and be able to translate that knowledge into actionable insights for clients. This extends to social and digital communications: you must have true analytical fluency in this area. A strong academic record is necessary, and demonstrated experience in issues management in a previous position or academic setting."
Our Team: maybe separate but could be part of About the role. But we can include as "Our Team" if content present. It says: "Our team is a group of smart, analytical and hardworking people who care deeply about helping lead our clients through a crisis to make a positive impact on society. We are on the front lines of some of the biggest, most complex issues – and the nature of our work requires an ability and eagerness to juggle multiple responsibilities and work on multi-office client teams. You will have the opportunity to play a leading role in driving both ongoing client engagements and discrete projects."
What You Will Be Doing: list of duties. That's responsibilities.
What We Are Looking For: list of qualifications/skills.
Basic Qualifications: list of requirements.
Pay: salary range.
Schedule: office days.
We need to decide which headings to use. The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map:
- About the role: includes description of team and role.
- Responsibilities: "What You Will Be Doing" bullet list.
- Requirements: maybe "Basic Qualifications" (2-3 years experience, degree, etc.)
- Qualifications: maybe "What We Are Looking For" (skills, abilities)
- Skills: maybe overlapping; but we could combine Qualifications and Skills? The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Qualifications and Skills into one section? But they are separate headings suggestions. However we can decide to include both if content distinct. "What We Are Looking For" includes skills like crisis communications experience, social analytics, media relations, writing, curiosity, problem solving, oral/written communication, familiarity with corporate financials, prioritization, teamwork, ownership, proactive, work ethic. That's skills. "Basic Qualifications" includes years experience, degree, knowledge of basic PR skills, fluency in MS Suite, proficiency in research platforms. That's more like requirements/qualifications.
Thus we can have:
About the role
... (the descriptive paragraphs)
Responsibilities

Pay
$68,000 USD - $78,000 USD
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. Our objective is to increase this requirement over time, and many of our agencies as well as Omnicom’s corporate group already require five days of in-office attendance.
We should avoid duplication: The schedule paragraph includes two sentences; keep as is.
We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, privacy notice, etc.
Check for duplicated lines: The salary appears twice; we keep once.
Check for any other boilerplate: "Omnicom is committed to hiring and developing exceptional talent..." that's maybe not boilerplate but could be considered generic statement; but it's about culture; could be part of About the role or Our Team. However it's somewhat generic; but it's substantive about company values. Might keep as part of About the role? It appears after Basic Qualifications and before "Join us—we look forward...". That is somewhat fluff but still about company. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This statement is not exactly boilerplate but could be considered generic fluff. However it's not EEO. It's about talent development. Might keep as part of About the role or Our Team. But to be safe, we could include it in About the role paragraph.
But we already have About the role paragraph covering team description; we could add that sentence.
Let's extract the exact text after Basic Qualifications: "Omnicom is committed to hiring and developing exceptional talent. We agree that talent is uniquely distributed, and we’re focused on developing inclusive teams that can bring the best solutions to everything we do. We strongly believe that celebrating what makes us different makes us better together. Join us—we look forward to getting to know you. We will process your personal data in accordance with our Recruitment Privacy Notice. Link to Recruitment Privacy Notice: https://www.omc.com/privacy-notice For US Job Seekers It is the policy of Omnicom and any of its affiliates to provide equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, religion, color, ethnic origin, gender, gender identity, age, marital status, veteran status, sexual orientation, disability, or any other basis prohibited by applicable federal, state, or local law. EOE/AA/M/D/V/F."
We need to remove the EEO line and privacy notice line. Also "Join us—we look forward to getting to know you." could be considered a call to action; maybe remove as application instruction? It's not exactly instruction but could be considered fluff. Safer to remove.
Thus we keep: "Omnicom is committed to hiring and developing exceptional talent. We agree that talent is uniquely distributed, and we’re focused on developing inclusive teams that can bring the best solutions to everything we do. We strongly believe that celebrating what makes us different makes us better together."
We can incorporate that into About the role or Our Team.
Let's craft About the role paragraph combining the initial description and that statement.
Now Responsibilities: list each duty from "What You Will Be Doing". Let's extract bullet points:
