Senior Grant Administrator
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes: "Additional Job Details Availability to work in-person 2 days per week. Occasional hours outside the standard workday may be required, particularly around grant submission and reporting deadlines." Also "Scheduled Weekly Hours 40". Also "Remote Type Hybrid Work Location 41-45 Avenue Louis Pasteur". Also "Compensation range for this role is between 79,560.00 - 115,720.80 Annual." Also "Pay Range $ - $115,720.80/Annual". So we have Pay info and Schedule info (in-person 2 days per week, occasional hours outside standard workday, scheduled weekly hours 40). Benefits: Not explicitly listed except generic mention of comprehensive benefits later but that's boilerplate? The posting says: "In addition to competitive base pay, we offer comprehensive benefits, career advancement opportunities, differentials, premiums and bonuses as applicable and recognition programs..." That's generic but still mentions benefits. However instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." And "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". The benefits mention is somewhat generic but still mentions comprehensive benefits. Might be considered substantive enough? However they said remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Benefits statement might be considered boilerplate but it's specific to the role? It says "we offer comprehensive benefits, career advancement opportunities, differentials, premiums and bonuses as applicable and recognition programs". That's generic but still a statement about benefits. I'd include a Benefits section with that sentence.
Also we have Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree preferred; advanced degree and/or CRA a plus; 2-3+ years experience; Strong knowledge of federal regulations; Proficiency in Excel, Word, Adobe; willingness to learn new applications; Proficiency with common grant management systems; Competencies list.
We have Responsibilities: list of duties under "Essential Functions:" and "Key Responsibilities". We need to combine into a Responsibilities section with - . Must preserve all substantive info.
We also have About the role? The job summary at start: "Manages all phases of the research grant and contract administration, including grant related activities of an assigned portfolio of research departments. Provides guidance, resolves issues, and helps navigate the research proposal submission and application process. Responsible for budget development assistance, interpretation of sponsor requirements, as well as ensuring that proposals meet sponsor and institutional guidelines and regulations. Is expected to achieve Institutional Signing Authority and will support the highest complexity work." That's a summary. Could be About the role.
Also there is a "Job Summary" repeated later. We'll combine.
We must not include duplicated lines. Remove boilerplate like "Site: The Brigham and Women's Hospital, Inc. Mass General Brigham relies on a wide range of professionals..." That's introductory fluff but maybe considered About the role? It's generic about the organization. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not specific to the role. Probably we should omit that introductory paragraph as it's not specific to the role. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The introductory site description may be considered boilerplate but it's about the organization. Might be okay to keep as About the role? However they said "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." The site description is not metadata; it's about the organization. Might be considered part of About the role. I'd include a brief About the role paragraph summarizing the role's purpose, using the job summary sentences.
We'll produce sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills (maybe combine competencies), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each has content.
Let's extract specifics:
