Shorelands & Environmental Assistance (SEA) Program Manager (EMS Band 4)
for intro. Then Schedule: "Schedule This position is eligible for telework and flexible schedule options.A minimum of three days per week is required in the office.Schedules are dependent upon position needs and are subject to change." We'll make a Schedule section with
Schedule
andcontaining that. Then Duties: "Duties We are looking for a transformational leader ..." then a long paragraph describing role. Then "Responsibilities Include" followed by a list of responsibilities each starting with a verb. We'll make Responsibilities section with
- each item.
We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. The Duties paragraph may be similar to responsibilities; but we keep both? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep both the Duties paragraph and the Responsibilities list. However the Duties paragraph is basically an overview; we can keep as
under maybe About the role or Duties section. But we already have a heading for Responsibilities; we could have a section "About the role" for the introductory paragraph and Duties overview. Then Responsibilities section for the list. Then "Who are we looking for?" then "We Are Seeking An Experienced, Collaborative Leader Ready To Guide a Diverse, Multi-disciplinary Program With Statewide Reach." Then bullet-like sentences (each starts with ability to...). Those are qualifications/requirements. Then "A Key Member of Ecology’s Executive Leadership Team" paragraph. Then "Why Join the Team?" paragraph. Then "This position is an Exempt Management Service (EMS) Band IV position. The minimum and maximum salary for EMS Band IV positions is $100,692 - $173,472." That's Pay. Then "Qualifications For detailed information on how we calculate experience and responses to other frequently asked questions, please visit our Recruitment website ." Then Required Qualifications list (each bullet). Then Desired Qualifications list. We need to output sections: About the role (intro + maybe Duties overview), Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe split Required and Desired? Could combine under Qualifications heading with subheadings? But we only allowed headings for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use Qualifications heading and inside have Required and Desired as
or
- . Could also split into Requirements and Qualifications but we have both. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have Qualifications section containing both required and desired as separate
- . Now Requirements (required qualifications). List: - Demonstrated expertise in environmental, physical or natural science, environmental studies, engineering, public administration, planning, public policy, political science, law, or another related qualifying discipline. This expertise can be demonstrated through professional degrees and/or professional and lived experience. - Demonstrated professional level management experience which includes: - Strategic Leadership, Budget and Planning – Proven track record setting clear vision and direction to guide managers and staff toward achieving long-term agency- and program goals, including the development of annual and biennial plans and budgets that articulate future direction. - Ethical and Inclusive Leadership – Demonstrated proficiency in modeling high ethical standards and fostering a diverse, equitable, and respectful workplace to support effective public service. - Communication and Relationship Building – Proven experience communicating complex information clearly and building strong internal and external partnerships, to include engaging with Tribal governments on natural resources management issues. - Program and Policy Management – Demonstrated skills in leading and integrating multiple environmental programs to ensure consistent implementation of statewide policies, procedures, and rules. - Intergovernmental and Partner Coordination – Proven track record collaborating with federal, state, local, and Tribal partners to negotiate agreements and advance shared environmental goals. - Resource and Workforce Stewardship – Demonstrated proficiency in allocating resources, making staffing decisions, and developing the workforce to support effective program delivery. - Regulatory and Compliance Oversight – Demonstrated skills in authorizing, issuing, or approving permits, enforcement actions, and legal decisions to ensure compliance with environmental laws. - Environmental Regulatory Expertise – Proven track record interpreting and applying environmental statutes such as SEPA, SMA, CZMA, and Section 401 to ensure defensible and consistent decisions. - Watershed and Systems Integration – Experience integrating statutory responsibilities across environmental programs to support watershed-based management and cross-program alignment. - Rulemaking and Guidance Development – Demonstrated proficiency in developing rules and statewide guidance to achieve consistent, legally sound implementation across diverse jurisdictions. We need to format as list items. The sub-bullets could be
- with maybe but we can just keep as plain text. Now Qualifications (desired). List: - Desired Education: involving a major study in public administration, business administration, environmental management, natural sciences, natural resources, environmental sciences, physical sciences, engineering, planning, or other related field. - Desired Experience: - Involvement in scientific/technical services issues in the environmental, natural resource management and/or health protection fields. - Experience using advanced management, communication, negotiation and consensus building skills with high-level, influential, elected and appointed officials. - Providing leadership to a large staff of over 100 employees. - Experience managing diverse fund sources. - Member of a senior or
with headings? But we cannot add extra headings beyond allowed list? Not strictly prohibited but we should follow allowed headings. Could use
with bold? Not allowed to invent headings. Better to have Qualifications section and inside we have two
paragraphs: one for Required Qualifications, one for Desired Qualifications. Or we could have Requirements section for required and Qualifications for desired. But we have both allowed headings. Let's use Requirements for required, Qualifications for desired. That seems fine. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. We must not include Benefits unless stated. Not present. Now we need to extract content. Let's copy relevant text. Intro paragraph: "Keeping Washington Clean and Evergreen The Department of Ecology is hiring a Shorelands & Environmental Assistance (SEA) Program Manager (EMS Band 4)within the Executive Leadership Team. Location: Headquarters Office in Lacey, WA .Upon hire, you must live within a commutable distance from the duty station." We need to keep location and commutable distance. We'll make a
. Schedule: "This position is eligible for telework and flexible schedule options.A minimum of three days per week is required in the office.Schedules are dependent upon position needs and are subject to change." We'll put in Schedule section. Duties overview: "We are looking for a transformational leader who is ready to partner with a dedicated team of professionals to guide Washington’s statewide efforts to protect and restore shorelands, wetlands, coastal areas, and floodplains; strengthen community resilience; advance clean energy siting; and support conservation and hazard-mitigation initiatives across diverse landscapes.

You will provide strategic leadership and direction for major state and federal programs, oversee complex regulatory and policy work, and cultivate partnerships that support resilient ecosystems, sustainable community development, and climate preparedness." We'll put that as
under About the role maybe after intro. Responsibilities list: each line starts with a verb. Let's extract: - Planning, leading, organizing, and directing the statewide Shorelands and Environmental Assistance Program by negotiating program scope, priorities, resources, and outcomes. - Overseeing the development and implementation of policies, rules, and guidance that shape statewide shorelands, wetlands, floodplain management, clean energy coordination, and coastal resilience—affecting all 39 counties and numerous regulated entities. - Leading the program’s strategic direction to align shorelands protection, watershed-based planning, coastal management, hazard mitigation, clean energy siting, and community conservation initiatives with Ecology’s mission and statewide environmental priorities. - Administering state and delegated federal programs including the Shoreline Management Act, State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), the Coastal Zone Management Act, the Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification Program, and wetland and floodplain management authorities. - Managing the program’s operating and capital budgets, personnel, and resources to ensure responsible, transparent, and effective stewardship of public funds. - Hiring, leading, and developing managers, supervisors, and senior policy staff while fostering a collaborative, inclusive, and high-performing workplace that supports diversity, staff engagement, and professional growth. - Ensuring high-quality, defensible regulatory and scientific outcomes across program functions including planning, permitting, wetlands and flood hazard review, clean energy coordination, coastal hazard mitigation, and community-based conservation. - Overseeing major statewide initiatives such as Floodplain by Design; Wetland Mitigation Banking; Shoreline Management Act; critical areas ordinances under the Growth Management Act; and the stewardship, research, education, and community science missions of the Padilla Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, the Northwest Straits Commission, and the Washington Conservation Corps. - Serving as Washington’s designated Coastal Manager, representing the state before federal agencies and negotiating on matters related to the Coastal Zone Management Act. - Coordinating Ecology’s disaster response activities related to severe storms, catastrophic floods, wildfires, and other natural hazards through deployment of Washington Conservation Corps resources. - Building and maintaining strong partnerships with Tribes; federal, state, and local government partners; conservation organizations; environmental justice advocates; regulated entities; and community-based organizations. - Integrating SEA’s work across Ecology programs—especially Water Quality, Water Resources, Toxics Cleanup, Climate Pollution Reduction, and Environmental Assessment—to promote watershed-based, cross-program alignment and effective statewide outcomes.
