Senior Manager- Corporate Communications

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of role; we can put that under About the role or maybe "About the role" heading. Then Responsibilities: list of duties. Then Qualifications: required and preferred. Possibly Benefits: they gave benefits details. Pay: they gave pay range. Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. Also Work environment: maybe include under About the role or separate? Not required heading; we can include as paragraph under About the role. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO etc. We kept benefits but need to ensure we only include if specific content. They gave benefits: medical, dental, vision, basic life, accidental death, paid disability, paid parental leave, EAP, paid sick/vacation, company holidays, paid bereavement, paid jury duty, 401k, retirement plan, discretionary/metric-based bonuses. That's specific, so include Benefits section. Pay: they gave range $160,000 - 185,000 per year. Include Pay section. Schedule: not mentioned, omit. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We must preserve all substantive information. Not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like responsibilities bullet points. Let's extract responsibilities from the text: They have sections: Strategic Communications & Leadership Support, External Communications & Media Relations, Brand & Digital Communications, Internal Communications & Employee Engagement, Cross-Functional Collaboration. Under each there are bullet-like sentences. We'll turn each bullet into

• . Could group under Responsibilities heading with a
  containing all duties. Qualifications: Required list: Bachelor’s degree in communications, PR, Journalism, Marketing, Political Science, English, or related field; 8+ years progressive experience in corporate communications, PR, media relations, public affairs, or related disciplines; Exceptional writing, editing, and verbal communication skills; Proven ability to develop communications strategies for complex business issues and organizational initiatives; Track record of supporting senior executives and business leaders; Strong background in media relations and external stakeholder communications; Prior project management experience and ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously; Demonstrated ability to work effectively across functions and influence without direct authority; Background in crisis communications or issues management; Experience leading employee communications and organizational change initiatives. Preferred: Background in transportation, logistics, maritime, infrastructure, industrial, or B2B industries; Experience managing agencies or communications vendors; Familiarity with digital communications, social media strategy, and corporate branding initiatives. We need to keep both required and preferred. Could have two sub-lists under Qualifications? But we can just list all items, maybe separate with headings? The instruction: Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Qualifications heading and inside we can have

  for intro and then

  for required and maybe another
  for preferred? Could also separate with

  indicating Required and Preferred. But we must not invent filler. We'll keep as is. We also need About the role: a prose paragraph summarizing role. We'll take the initial description: "SSA Marine is seeking an experienced strategic communications professional to join the company's corporate communications team. The Senior Manager, Corporate Communications, will work closely with the Director of Communications to develop and execute integrated communications initiatives that strengthen the company's reputation, advance business priorities, support employee engagement, and promote alignment across internal and external stakeholders. This position serves as a trusted communications advisor to leaders across the organization and partners closely with teams including Operations, Human Resources, Sustainability, Legal, Government Relations, Business Development, and executive leadership. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable developing external communications strategies, pitching media, writing executive messaging, and leading change management communications initiatives." We can put that as

  under About the role. Responsibilities: we need to list duties. We'll compile bullet points from each subsection. Let's list: Strategic Communications & Leadership Support: - Serve as a strategic communications advisor to leaders across SSA Marine and affiliated businesses. - Develop communication strategies and messaging plans to support key business initiatives, growth opportunities, organizational changes, and company priorities. - Provide communications counsel on reputational, stakeholder, and employee engagement considerations. - Lead the development of key messages, talking points, FAQs, executive presentations, and strategic communication materials. - Support crisis preparedness, issues management, and response planning efforts. External Communications & Media Relations: - Develop and manage proactive external communications programs that elevate awareness of SSA Marine's capabilities, achievements, and strategic priorities. - Lead media relations activities, including managing relationships with business and industry press covering ports, logistics, and the global supply chain. - Write and manage press releases, talking points, web content, and external messaging materials. - Build and maintain relationships with ports, community stakeholders, and other external audiences. - Manage media inquiries and support spokesperson preparation and interview coordination. Brand & Digital Communications: - Help maintain and strengthen SSA Marine's corporate brand identity and reputation. - Support content strategy and execution across LinkedIn, company websites, and other digital platforms. - Ensure consistent application of company brand standards, messaging frameworks, and visual identity guidelines. - Identify opportunities to showcase company milestones, innovation, sustainability achievements, and industry leadership. Internal Communications & Employee Engagement: - Develop and execute internal communications campaigns that promote employee understanding of company priorities, values, and business performance. - Support executive communications, leadership announcements, all-hands meetings, and employee engagement initiatives. - Lead change communications strategies for organizational initiatives, business transformations, and major company projects. - Ensure message alignment and consistency across business units, functions, and regions. Cross-Functional Collaboration: - Partner with Human Resources, Sustainability, Legal, Government Relations, Operations, Business Development, and commercial teams to support communications objectives. - Manage external agencies, consultants, freelancers, and vendors as needed. - Support communications planning for company events, conferences, trade shows, and stakeholder engagement activities. - Track communications performance and provide recommendations for continuous improvement. We'll put all these as

  • under a
    inside Responsibilities. Qualifications: We'll have Required and Preferred maybe as separate
    with headings

    Required: and

    Preferred: but we cannot use headings for those; we can just have

    Required qualifications:

    then
    etc. That's okay. Benefits: list items. Pay: just a

    with the range. We must not include schedule. Now produce HTML fragment. Check for any boilerplate: We removed EEO, equal opportunity, etc. We kept benefits but not the EEO line. We removed "SSA Marine is an Equal Opportunity Employer". Good. We also removed "Work environment: Required job duties are normally performed in a climate-controlled office environment. Exposure to computer screens. The noise level in the work environment is usually moderate". This is substantive? It's about work environment. Could be included under About the role as a paragraph. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information. So we should include that. We can add a paragraph under About the role or maybe a separate section? There's no heading for Work environment, but we can include as a paragraph under About the role. Let's add after the role description. Thus About the role will have two paragraphs: first description, second work environment. Now ensure we didn't repeat job title as heading. We didn't. Now output only HTML. Let's craft:
