Senior Project Manager/ Vice President, Design (The 78)
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to decide which sections to include. The posting includes: - Responsibilities (multiple bullet-like paragraphs) - Qualifications (list) - Compensation (salary range, bonus, benefits mention) - Benefits (detailed list) - Overview (Company Overview, Divisional Overview) maybe as "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be a short description of the role: The role will guide the long-term vision... etc. That is in the first paragraph after "Responsibilities Related Midwest is looking for someone to manage the strategic master planning associated with our large scale project, The 78. The role will guide the long-term vision for the project, manage multidisciplinary design teams, and ensure cohesive integration of buildings, infrastructure, public realm and environmental systems across a complex, high-profile site." That is a description of the role. Could be "About the role". We can include that as a
under an
About the role.
We also have "Compensation" and "Benefits". The posting includes "Compensation" section with salary range and mention of bonus and benefits. Then a separate "Benefits:" with detailed list.
We should not create a Schedule section because none present.
We should not create Skills section unless present; there is not explicit Skills heading but qualifications include skills. Could combine Qualifications and Skills? The instruction says use headings like Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can have Qualifications and maybe Skills combined? But better to follow the posting: there is Qualifications section. There's no separate Skills. So we can have Qualifications.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the responsibilities text, qualifications text, compensation text, benefits text, company overview, divisional overview.
We need to format responsibilities as - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities are currently in paragraph form with sentences. We could break them into list items for each distinct duty. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert the responsibilities into a list. Similarly qualifications into a list. Benefits into a list.
We need to avoid duplicating lines. Ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Learn more about Related at www.related.com ." That's okay to keep? It's part of company overview. It's substantive? Might be considered navigation? It's a link. Probably okay to keep as part of overview.
We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. There's no explicit application instructions. There's a privacy policy link at end: "For information about how we use your personal information, including information submitted for career opportunities, please review our Privacy Policy at https://www.related.com/privacy-policy ." That's legal boilerplate; should be removed. Also the hashtags "#TRC #Onsite #RMW" maybe metadata; could be dropped.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we keep company overview, divisional overview.
