Sr. Director - Microsoft Data & AI
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from posting, but we can format them.
We must remove boilerplate: About Us maybe considered boilerplate? It's company description; but it's substantive? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. About Us is not necessarily boilerplate but could be considered company overview; maybe we keep as part of About the role? However the instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities etc. The About Us could be considered "About the role"? Not exactly. But we could include a short paragraph under About the role that includes company description? The posting includes "About Us" separate; we could incorporate that into About the role section as context. However we must not invent headings; we can have About the role heading and then include the About Us text as prose.
But we must preserve all substantive information; we can include About Us under About the role.
Now we need to structure:
About the role
About Us Since 1989, SHI International Corp.... (the paragraph). Then maybe also Job Summary paragraph.
But we need to avoid duplication: The About Us paragraph appears at start; we can include it.
Then Job Summary: "The Senior Director, Data & AI leads SHI's AI + Infrastructure organization..." etc. We'll include that as prose.
Now Responsibilities: The Role Description includes many paragraphs; we can break into
- items for each duty. However the instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. If we have prose paragraphs, we could keep as
. But we could also convert each sentence into list items. Safer to keep as
for prose, but if we have a list we should use
. The Role Description is not explicitly a list but contains many responsibilities separated by paragraphs. We could treat each paragraph as a duty and put in - . That would be a list of duties. That seems appropriate.
Similarly, Requirements: The Skill Level Requirements and Other Requirements can be combined into Requirements section as list.
Qualifications: Could be same as Requirements? But we need to decide sections. The instruction says we can have sections like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to only include sections when posting has real specific content. The posting includes Skill Level Requirements (which includes education, experience, knowledge). That could be Qualifications. Also includes "Your Success at SHI" (behaviors and competencies) maybe Skills? Actually there is a "Behaviors and Competencies" section listing many competencies. That could be Skills. Also "Skill Level Requirements" includes specific requirements. So we could have:
- About the role (h3)
- Responsibilities (h3) from Role Description
- Qualifications (h3) from Skill Level Requirements (education, experience, knowledge)
- Skills (h3) from Behaviors and Competencies
- Pay (h3) from compensation line
We might also include Requirements? But we already have Qualifications and Skills; maybe we don't need separate Requirements. However the posting also has "Other Requirements" (travel, continuous learning, ethical standards). Those could go under Qualifications or maybe a separate Requirements section. To avoid thin sections, we could merge Other Requirements into Qualifications as additional items.
Thus we have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Pay.
Now we need to ensure we don't create sections with filler text like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now we need to preserve all substantive information: Let's extract all details.
About Us paragraph: "Since 1989, SHI International Corp. has helped organizations change the world through technology. We’ve grown every year since, and today we’re proud to be a $16 billion global provider of IT solutions and services.
