Senior Communications Analyst
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info; remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it—never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", etc. Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the posting.
The posting includes:
- Intro about Milltown Partners (description). Could be "About the role" or "About the company"? The instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: About the role (maybe describing the role), Responsibilities (What you'll do), Requirements (What we're looking for essential), Qualifications (maybe desirable?), Skills (maybe combine?), Benefits (list of benefits), Pay (if mentioned), Schedule (if mentioned). We need to see if Pay is mentioned: "Competitive, transparent pay with open salary bands, plus twice-yearly bonuses". That's pay info. So we can include Pay section.
Schedule: "Hybrid working model with three days in office (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday)". That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule.
Benefits: list includes many benefits: 401(k) with company match, healthcare options, PTO, sick days, public holidays, winter break, parental leave, sabbatical leave, commuter benefit, hybrid working model (though schedule separate). So we can include Benefits.
We need to avoid filler like "competitive, transparent pay with open salary bands, plus twice-yearly bonuses" is substantive, okay.
We need to avoid duplication: The posting repeats some content? Not much.
We need to remove boilerplate: The "Ready to apply? If this sounds like the right fit, we'd love to hear from you." That's application instructions; we should remove.
Also remove "Why join us" maybe we can incorporate into Benefits? Actually "Why join us" includes culture description and benefits. We'll extract benefits and maybe keep a short "About the company" but not required. The instruction says we can have sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can include About the role (maybe a brief description of the role and company). The posting includes a paragraph at start describing Milltown Partners and the role. That could be About the role.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler. So we need to decide which sections to include.
Let's extract:
About the role: The intro paragraphs: "Milltown Partners... The role Great communications and policy advice starts with brilliant research and analysis. As a Senior Analyst at Milltown Partners, you'll bring a more developed perspective to that work – not just producing the analysis that informs our advice, but beginning to shape it. You'll have enough experience to work with greater independence, take ownership of your outputs, and start to contribute meaningfully to how we solve problems for clients. You'll work on live challenges across a range of sectors and issue types. You might be leading the media and stakeholder analysis for a technology company navigating a regulatory investigation. You could be tracking policy developments across multiple jurisdictions to help a global investor understand the landscape they're operating in. The work is substantive, the clients are sophisticated, and the expectation is that you'll bring a clear point of view, not just a summary. We're looking for people who are ready to apply and develop what they know in a high-standards advisory environment."
That's substantive. We'll put that in About the role.
Responsibilities: The "What you'll do" section with bullet points (though not bullet list in text but paragraphs). We can turn each bold heading into list items? The instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to identify lists. The "What you'll do" includes several bullet-like items: Turn information into insight, Help shape strategy, Write for different audiences, Keep teams organised, Contribute to a collaborative culture. Each has sub-details. We can make each main duty as
- and include sub-details maybe as
inside? But instruction says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So we can make a
with each duty as - containing the prose description (maybe as
inside?). But we can just put the description inside
- . That's fine.
Requirements: The "What we're looking for" includes Essential and Desirable bullet lists. We can separate Essential as Requirements, Desirable as Qualifications or Skills. The instruction includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills sections. We can map Essential to Requirements, Desirable to Qualifications (or Skills). We need to avoid filler like "not specified". The essential list includes many items; we can list them as
- . Desirable list also.
We need to decide whether to have separate Qualifications and Skills sections. Could combine desirable into Qualifications. Or we could have Skills section for skill-based items like "Strong written and verbal communication skills", etc. But many essential items are skills. The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we just have Requirements (essential) and Qualifications (desirable). Or we could have Requirements (essential) and Skills (desirable). But we also have Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Let's see: Essential list includes:
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to write independently for different audiences and purposes
- Experience conducting research and translating findings into clear, logical analysis and arguments
- Understanding of how reputation management and corporate storytelling work in practice, including how communications shapes outcomes for influential organisations and individuals
- Experience using AI tools (eg. Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) effectively, safely and critically
- Interest in the opportunities and challenges facing the technology industry
- Intellectual curiosity about a broad range of subjects relevant to our clients, including technology, policy, investment and media
- A genuine desire to develop advisory skills in business strategy, public policy and communications
- Collaborative instincts - you value working with others and learning from people around you
- A commitment to seeking feedback and acting on it
Desirable list:
- Demonstrable interest or experience in one or more of the areas where we work (e.g. technology policy, financial communications, stakeholder engagement)
- Experience using AI tools effectively in an academic or professional setting
- Technical interests - whether that's building websites, apps or other projects
We could treat Essential as Requirements, Desirable as Qualifications.
Now Benefits: list from "By joining us, you’ll have access to:" includes:
- Competitive, transparent pay with open salary bands, plus twice-yearly bonuses
- 401(k) with company match, eligible from day one
- Robust healthcare options, including medical, dental, and vision coverage, plus dedicated mental health support
- 26 days PTO, 10 sick days, and 10 public holidays
- Two-week company-wide winter break
- Paid parental leave
- Sabbatical leave
- $100/month commuter benefit
- Hybrid working model with three days in office (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday)
But note: Hybrid working model also appears in Schedule. We might separate schedule.
Pay: "Competitive, transparent pay with open salary bands, plus twice-yearly bonuses" is pay info. Could be in Pay section.
Schedule: "Hybrid working model with three days in office (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday)" is schedule.
Thus Benefits section could exclude pay and schedule items, focusing on other benefits: 401(k), healthcare, PTO, sick days, public holidays, winter break, parental leave, sabbatical leave, commuter benefit.
But we need to avoid duplication: If we put pay in Pay section and schedule in Schedule section, we should not duplicate them in Benefits.
Thus Benefits list: 401(k) with company match, eligible from day one; Robust healthcare options, including medical, dental, and vision coverage, plus dedicated mental health support; 26 days PTO, 10 sick days, and 10 public holidays; Two-week company-wide winter break; Paid parental leave; Sabbatical leave; $100/month commuter benefit.
Now Pay section: Competitive, transparent pay with open salary bands, plus twice-yearly bonuses.
Schedule section: Hybrid working model with three days in office (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday).
Now we need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll produce something like:
About the role
Milltown Partners ...
Responsibilities
- Turn information into insight: You'll use research platforms like Factiva and Meltwater to monitor media, track policymakers and stakeholders, and understand the landscape our clients operate in. You'll leverage our internal AI studio and tools such as Claude and Notebook LM to produce analysis that's rigorous and useful. This isn't about summarising - it's about finding the thread that matters and pulling on it.
- Help shape strategy: You'll contribute to discussions about what our clients should do and how they should communicate. You'll learn to think about audiences (investors, policymakers, journalists, employees), channels (owned platforms, media, policy engagement) and timing. You'll develop your own perspectives on the issues our clients face - whether that's AI regulation, competitive dynamics or stakeholder positioning - and share them with colleagues and clients.
- Write for different audiences: From media briefings to policy analysis to internal reports, you'll draft content that's clear, compelling and tailored to purpose. You'll write for CEOs, policymakers, journalists and investors - often all in the same week. The ability to translate complexity into clarity is fundamental to the work.
- Keep teams organised: You'll help manage the logistics that keep client work moving - scheduling, monitoring, agendas, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. It sounds simple, but doing it well makes everything else possible.
- Contribute to a collaborative culture: You'll work with people across the firm, give and receive feedback regularly, and help create an environment where everyone can do their best work. At Milltown, we're all in this together - comradeship isn't just a value, it's how we operate.
