SmithGroup · Phoenix, AZ · 1 mo ago
Hybrid$123k–$145k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of firm and role. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if there is real specific content.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal etc. Also remove "To be considered for this role, please create a profile and apply!" and the EEO paragraph.
We need to preserve all substantive information.
Let's parse content:
First paragraph: description of SmithGroup: integrated design firm, culture, etc. That's about the firm, could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can put firm description under About the role (makes sense). Or we could split: About the role includes description of role and firm.
Next: "The Phoenix office of SmithGroup is looking for a Senior Space Planner to join our team." That's role intro.
Then bullet list of responsibilities (starting with "Working with us, you will:" then list). Those are responsibilities.
Then "An ideal candidate has:" list of qualifications/requirements.
Then benefits: "At SmithGroup, we are committed to helping our staff thrive with great projects and time to unwind. We offer flexible scheduling, a hybrid work environment, 3 weeks of PTO within your first year of employment with the option of purchasing additional time off, 8 paid federal holidays, plus 15 extra Fridays off! Our benefits plan includes medical, dental, and vision coverage, wellbeing resources, paid parental leave, a flex spending account and voluntary insurance options. We invest in your future through our 401(k) program with employer matching, tuition reimbursement program, one-on-one career coaching and professional development opportunities."
Pay: "While we may ultimately pay more or less than a posted salary range, at the time of posting the anticipated salary range for this position is $123,000 to $145,000 annually and you are eligible for a performance-based bonus each year."
Schedule: "flexible scheduling, a hybrid work environment" already mentioned in benefits but schedule could be separate. However schedule content is present: flexible scheduling, hybrid work environment. Also maybe travel 25-30% regionally/nationally. That could be schedule or responsibilities? It's under ideal candidate: "Ability to travel regionally and/or nationally approximately 25-30%." That's a requirement maybe. But schedule section: we have flexible scheduling and hybrid work environment. Could be schedule.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have real content for Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have content for About the role (firm description + role intro). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe "Minimum 10+ years related experience preferred" etc). Qualifications (maybe degree etc). Skills (proficiency in software etc). Benefits (as described). Pay (salary range). Schedule (flexible scheduling, hybrid work environment). We need to avoid duplication.
Let's extract specifics.
About the role: Could combine firm description and role intro.

That's substantive.
Responsibilities: list after "Working with us, you will:" each line starts with a verb. Let's capture each:
- Lead in the research, analysis, and distillation of primary and secondary research and data (quantitative and qualitative) to generate hypotheses, insights, and points of view to facilitate the development of planning solutions and organizational recommendations.
- Manage projects by developing project scopes and fees, negotiating contracts, overseeing deliverable production and quality, and fee management.

That's all responsibilities.
Requirements: maybe "Minimum 10+ years related experience preferred". Also "Experience with higher education planning, space management, and/or institutional research". Also "Proficiency in the Microsoft Office Suite; experience using Tableau, Power BI, and Archibus". Also "Ability to travel regionally and/or nationally approximately 25-30%."

Also "Proficient understanding of space types and space planning practices in higher education at both building and campus levels".

Also "Demonstrated thought leadership through written publications and conference presentations". Also "Confidence in facilitating strategic conversations". Also "Registration or licensure in relevant field, if applicable". Also "Demonstrated effectiveness and a strong commitment to working in a team-based setting, collaborating, mentoring and client satisfaction". Also "Proficiency in the Microsoft Office Suite; experience using Tableau, Power BI, and Archibus". Also "Ability to travel regionally and/or nationally approximately 25-30%."
We need to separate into Requirements, Qualifications, Skills as per allowed headings. The posting lumps them under "An ideal candidate has:" but we can categorize.
Qualifications: likely education and experience: professional degree, 10+ years experience, registration/licensure if applicable, thought leadership, etc.
Skills: proficiency in software, data analysis, etc.
Requirements: maybe the core mandatory items: degree, experience, etc. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide:
- Requirements: Minimum 10+ years related experience preferred; Experience with higher education planning, space management, and/or institutional research; Proficient understanding of space types and space planning practices in higher education at both building and campus levels; Knowledge of data-based information and analytics; familiarity with data visualization software is preferred; Demonstrated thought leadership through written publications and conference presentations; Confidence in facilitating strategic conversations; Registration or licensure in relevant field, if applicable; Demonstrated effectiveness and a strong commitment to working in a team-based setting, collaborating, mentoring and client satisfaction.
- Qualifications: A professional degree in Architecture, Urban Planning, Data Science or related fields.
- Skills: Proficiency in the Microsoft Office Suite; experience using Tableau, Power BI, and Archibus; Ability to travel regionally and/or nationally approximately 25-30%.
But we also have "Ability to travel..." maybe schedule? But schedule is about flexible scheduling/hybrid. Travel is separate.
We could put travel under Skills or Requirements. Let's put under Skills.
Now Benefits: we have flexible scheduling, hybrid work environment, 3 weeks PTO first year, option to purchase additional, 8 paid federal holidays, plus 15 extra Fridays off, benefits plan includes medical, dental, vision, wellbeing resources, paid parental leave, flex spending account, voluntary insurance options, 401(k) with employer matching, tuition reimbursement, one-on-one career coaching, professional development opportunities.
Pay: anticipated salary range $123,000 to $145,000 annually, eligible for performance-based bonus each year.
Schedule: flexible scheduling, hybrid work environment. Also maybe mention travel 25-30% but that's not schedule. We'll keep schedule as flexible scheduling and hybrid work environment.
Now we must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc.
Now produce HTML fragment with headings and content.
We need to wrap each section:
and content.
We need to wrap each section: About the role
then
... maybe multiple paragraphs? Could be one paragraph. For lists: use
- .
We need to ensure we don't include empty sections.
Let's craft.
About the role: combine firm description and role intro into a paragraph.
Responsibilities:
- with each bullet.
Requirements:
- ... but we can use
. Skills:
- with items.
Benefits: could be
- but some are sentences. Could break into list items: flexible scheduling, hybrid work environment, 3 weeks PTO first year with option to purchase additional, 8 paid federal holidays, plus 15 extra Fridays off, medical/dental/vision coverage, wellbeing resources, paid parental leave, flex spending account, voluntary insurance options, 401(k) with employer matching, tuition reimbursement, one-on-one career coaching, professional development opportunities.
Pay:
Anticipated salary range: $123,000 to $145,000 annually, with eligibility for an annual performance-based bonus.
Schedule:Flexible scheduling and hybrid work environment.
Check for any repeated content: flexible scheduling appears also in benefits; we might duplicate. To avoid duplication, we could mention flexible scheduling only under Schedule, not Benefits. But benefits also list flexible scheduling as part of benefits. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. If we remove flexible scheduling from Benefits, we lose that detail. However we could keep it in Benefits and also mention in Schedule? That would duplicate. Better to keep flexible scheduling under Benefits and not have a separate Schedule section if it's only that. But we also have hybrid work environment. Could we put both under Benefits and not have Schedule? The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. If we have Schedule section with just "Flexible scheduling and hybrid work environment", that's real content. But if we also have those same items under Benefits, that's duplication but not prohibited? It says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is not inventing, but it's repeating. Might be okay but better to avoid duplication. We could move flexible scheduling and hybrid work environment to Schedule, and keep other benefits under Benefits without those two. That way we preserve all info without duplication. Thus Benefits list: 3 weeks PTO first year with option to purchase additional, 8 paid federal holidays, plus 15 extra
- with each bullet.
Qualifications: maybe just one item:
A professional degree in Architecture, Urban Planning, Data Science or related fields.
Or could be - ... but we can use
