Solutions Consultant 2
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real specific content. The posting includes: Mission, Who We Are, hybrid remote, Job Summary (The Role), Your Impact Role (list of responsibilities), Qualifications (Your Experience), Compensation Disclosure (pay range), Benefits? It mentions "A description of our employee benefits may be found here." No explicit benefits listed, so we should not create Benefits section unless specific content. Pay: we have salary range $206,400 - $283,800/yr. So we can include Pay section. Schedule? Not mentioned. So no Schedule. About the role? Could use "About the role" heading with content from Job Summary? The instruction: do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: About the role (maybe from Job Summary), Responsibilities (from Your Impact Role), Requirements (maybe from Qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe separate?), Skills (maybe from Qualifications?), Pay (salary range). Need to avoid duplication. Let's parse content.
Mission and Who We Are are generic company description; could be considered "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be the Job Summary paragraph: "The Role The Solutions Consultant is the evolution...". We'll put that under About the role.
Responsibilities: list from "Your Impact Role" bullet points (the long paragraph with many responsibilities). We'll extract each sentence as list items.
Requirements: maybe from "Qualifications Your Experience" bullet list. That includes required experience etc. Could be Requirements.
Qualifications: maybe also from same list? Might be overlapping. Could treat Qualifications as the same as Requirements? But we need distinct sections only if content. Could combine? The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (which includes experience, skills), Pay. Skills could be part of Qualifications. But we could also have Skills section if we extract specific skills: Networking, Network Security, Cybersecurity, Private/Public Cloud Security, SOC/Endpoint, SASE, or AI Security. Also AI fluency. Could make Skills section.
Let's decide: Sections:
- About the role (Job Summary paragraph)
- Responsibilities (list of impact items)
- Qualifications (Experience bullet list)
- Skills (specific technical areas)
- Pay (salary range)
We must not include Benefits (no specific content). Schedule none.
We must use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills we need lists.
We must use
for prose.
We must not include boilerplate like mission statement? The About the role section should be prose from Job Summary. We can include that paragraph.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading "Solutions Consultant". Good.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting that are substantive. That includes mission statement? The mission statement is generic but maybe considered substantive? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Mission statement maybe not boilerplate but it's about company; could be considered part of "About the role"? Might be okay to include but we need to decide if we include it. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The mission statement is substantive? It's about company mission. Could be included in About the role? But the About the role heading is for role specifics; mission may be more about company. However we could include a separate section like "About the company" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should fit content into those. Mission statement could go under About the role as introductory prose. That seems okay.
Who We Are section also could be included there.
We must not include EEO boilerplate etc. So we remove the equal opportunity statement, accommodation line, etc.
We must keep compensation disclosure and pay range.
We must keep "Preferred candidates located in Idaho, Oregon, or Washington, up to 80% travel within patch" (maybe typo). That's part of Qualifications? It's under Qualifications after "Prefer candidates located in Idaho, Oregon, or Washington, up to 80% travel within patch". We'll include that in Qualifications list.
We must keep "Compensation Disclosure" paragraph about salary range etc. We'll put that under Pay.
We must keep "Our Commitment" etc? That's EEO etc; we remove.
We must keep "Is role eligible for Immigration Sponsorship? No." That's maybe not boilerplate but it's about sponsorship; could be considered substantive. Not in allowed headings; maybe we could put under Qualifications? But it's not a qualification. Could be a separate paragraph under About the role? Might be okay to include as a note. But the instruction: remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Immigration sponsorship is not EEO; it's a specific condition. Might be considered substantive. However we have no heading for it; we could include as a
under About the role or Qualifications. Probably better to add a short paragraph under About the role after the role description.
We must not include "Please note that we will not sponsor applicants for work visas for this position." That's the same.
Let's extract content.
