We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes description: "Ursa Major is looking for a strategic, creatively minded social leader..." That's about the role. Then "What You'll Do" list. Then "Who You Are" list. Then "How We'll Measure Success" maybe as a section? Could be "Success Metrics". Then "What We Bring" includes benefits, compensation etc. We need to use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have content for About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (What You'll Do). Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (Who You Are). Benefits (What We Bring). Pay? Not explicitly mentioned; only "Competitive compensation, plus equity". That's compensation info, so we can include Pay section with that content. Schedule? Not mentioned; remote culture, vacation etc but not schedule specifics. So we should not include Schedule. Also we should not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We need to use
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have content for About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (What You'll Do). Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (Who You Are). Benefits (What We Bring). Pay? Not explicitly mentioned; only "Competitive compensation, plus equity". That's compensation info, so we can include Pay section with that content. Schedule? Not mentioned; remote culture, vacation etc but not schedule specifics. So we should not include Schedule. Also we should not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, we need
- . For Who You Are maybe list of traits/experience; we can treat as list. For Benefits list also.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all points.
Let's extract content:
Intro paragraph: "Ursa Major is looking for a strategic, creatively minded social leader to own and evolve how our brand shows up across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and emerging social channels. Over the past several months, our founders and creative team have worked hands-on to sharpen our social storytelling — developing a more distinctive point of view, stronger creative instincts and a clearer playbook for what feels unmistakably Ursa Major. Now we're looking for someone great to take that foundation and run with it. This is not simply a channel-management or publishing role. We're looking for a social-first brand storyteller — someone who understands what makes people stop, watch, engage, share and come back; who has excellent creative instincts; and who can translate a brand idea into a compelling social concept, story and brief."
That's About the role.
What You'll Do list:
- Own Ursa Major's social strategy, editorial direction and content calendar and curation across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and emerging channels
- Develop social-first concepts and stories around our brand, products, ingredients, people, Vermont roots and broader world
- Work closely with our creative team and founders to bring those ideas to life
- Build and nurture an engaged social community, leveraging a smart creator CRM and working closely with our Creator Marketing team
- Be in tune with - and responsive to - the cultural zeitgeist, and what folks are saying about our brand and competitors
- Lead organic social support for product launches, campaigns, events, partnerships and other brand initiatives
- Identify high-performing organic content for paid amplification, partnering with our Growth team on upper-funnel brand discovery
- Use engagement, performance and insights data to continuously improve our content and channel strategy
- Work hand-in-hand with our Creator Marketing lead to connect owned social storytelling with our growing creator ecosystem
- Over time, build and manage a small social team (you will have some support from our internal team in the interim)
Who You Are list:
- You're equal parts strategist, editor, creative thinker and practitioner.
- You have a discerning eye without being precious about it.
- You care deeply about wellness and sustainability, and you love getting outside for fresh air.
- You understand the importance of brand and design, but also understand that social has its own language, rhythms and rules.
- Ideally, you bring 4-7+ years of relevant experience, including meaningful ownership of social for a premium, distinctive, challenger consumer or lifestyle brand.
- Beauty experience is welcome but not essential — relevant core experience in wellness, food, fashion, outdoor, travel or another culturally relevant category could be just as interesting.
- Most importantly, you know the difference between putting brand content on social media and actually making great social content for a brand like Ursa Major.
How We'll Measure Success:
- Our North Star for this role is on-brand visual and written storytelling, meaningful engagement and growing brand affinity, not simply posting volume or follower count.
- Key measures will include engagement rate, shares and saves, organic reach, video engagement/watch time, qualified community growth and the performance of social content amplified through paid media.
What We Bring:
- Competitive compensation, plus equity
- Health, vision and dental benefits and paid parental leave
- Employee 401k with company match
- Fully remote culture
- Generous vacation time plus 2 "Epic Days" yearly (a chance to spontaneously take off and enjoy epic weather!)
- Paid sabbatical after 5 years.
- Paid volunteer time, and organized team volunteer events in VT
- Free Ursa Major products—of course!
We need sections: About the role (h3), Responsibilities (h3), Requirements (maybe combine Who You Are as Requirements/Qualifications/Skills). The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can choose which to include based on content. We have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications/Skills), Benefits, Pay. We could split Who Are into Requirements and Skills maybe. But we can also just use Requirements as heading for the Who You Are content. Since we have no separate Skills list, we could combine. But we must not create thin sections; better to have a few substantive sections. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (covering Who You Are), Benefits, Pay. That's five sections.
We need to ensure we don't include empty sections.
Now format:
About the role
...
Responsibilities
- ...
...
Requirements
- ...
...
Benefits
- ...
...
Pay
Competitive compensation, plus equity
We must not include Schedule.
Check that we didn't miss any substantive info: The "How We'll Measure Success" section is not covered. Should we include it? It's substantive. Could be a section like "Success Metrics" but not in allowed headings list. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings when appropriate; but we could also add other headings if needed? It says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests those are the expected headings; we should stick to them. However, we have a section about measuring success that is substantive; we could incorporate it into Responsibilities or Requirements? It's more about performance metrics; maybe we could add a section "Qualifications"? Not exactly. Could we add a section "Requirements" and include measurement? Not ideal. Perhaps we can add a section "Qualifications" for the Who You Are, and "Skills" for measurement? But measurement is not a skill. Could we add a section "Benefits"? No.
We could add a section "Requirements" and include measurement as part of responsibilities? Actually measurement is about how success will be measured; could be considered part of responsibilities (you will be measured by...). Could incorporate into Responsibilities as a bullet? But the posting includes it as separate "How We'll Measure Success". We should preserve that info. We could add a subsection under Responsibilities? But we must not invent headings not in list? The instruction says use those headings for section headings; doesn't forbid other headings but suggests using them. Safer to include a section "Requirements" for Who You Are, and maybe add a section "Skills" for measurement? But measurement is not a skill. Could treat as "Qualifications"? Not.
Alternatively, we could add a section "About the role" and include measurement there? Not.
Better to add a section "Requirements" for Who You Are, and a separate section "Skills" for measurement? Might be acceptable as we are using allowed headings. The measurement could be considered a skill (ability to measure success). But it's a bit of a stretch.
Alternatively, we could add a section "Benefits" and include measurement? No.
Given the instruction to prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones, we could incorporate measurement into Responsibilities as a bullet: "Use engagement, performance and insights data to continuously improve our content and channel strategy" already covers using data; measurement of success is similar but more about metrics. Could add a bullet: "Measure success via engagement rate, shares and saves, organic reach, video engagement/watch time, qualified community growth and performance of social content amplified through paid media." That is not explicitly in responsibilities but could be added as a duty. However we must not invent detail; we can rephrase the measurement info as a duty: "Measure success via engagement rate, shares and saves, organic reach, video engagement/watch time, qualified community growth and performance of social content amplified through paid media." That is directly from the posting, so it's fine to include as a responsibility bullet. That way we preserve the info without a new heading.
Thus we can keep sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay.
Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "EEO", etc. Not present.
Now craft HTML.
Make sure to escape any special characters? Not needed.
Let's write.
About the role paragraph: combine the intro sentences.
Responsibilities list: include all bullets from What You'll Do plus the measurement bullet.
Requirements list: include all bullets from Who You Are.
Benefits list: include all bullets from What We Bring.
Pay paragraph: "Competitive compensation, plus equity"
Check that we didn't miss any detail: The intro also mentions "Over the past several months, our founders and creative team have worked hands-on to sharpen our social storytelling — developing a more distinctive point of view, stronger creative instincts and a clearer playbook for what feels unmistakably Ursa Major." Already included.
Also "Now we're looking for someone great to take that foundation and run with it." included.
Also "This is not simply a channel-management or publishing role." included.
Also "We're looking for a social-first brand storyteller — someone who understands what makes people stop, watch, engage, share and come back; who has excellent creative instincts; and who can translate a brand idea into a compelling social concept, story and brief." included.
Now responsibilities bullets: need to ensure we include all from What You'll Do list exactly as given.
