Sr Proposal Specialist
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says "e.g." meaning those are examples; we can use other headings if needed? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect us to use those headings only. But we can also include other headings if needed? The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests those are the allowed headings. It also says "IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we should only include those headings that have content. If we have content that doesn't fit those headings, maybe we should incorporate into existing sections. For Physical Requirements, we could put under Requirements or Qualifications? Probably under Requirements. Similarly Safety Level maybe under Requirements. But we need to preserve all substantive info. We'll include them in Requirements section as bullet points.
We need to extract:
- About the role: The initial paragraphs about Sundt being employee-owned, culture, mission, etc. Also the "Job Summary" about proposal specialists. So we can combine.
- Responsibilities: The list under "Key Responsibilities". Those bullet points.
- Requirements: Minimum Job Requirements (1-3 years experience etc), plus Physical Requirements, Safety Level maybe.
- Qualifications: Could be education preferences (Bachelor of marketing, English, communications, journalism, or similar preferred). Also certifications ideal.
- Skills: Proficiency in Adobe InDesign and Microsoft Office Suite required; knowledge of full Creative Suite, particularly Photoshop and Illustrator, and Cosential (or other CRM database) preferred. Also skilled writer, able to communicate technical concepts, etc.
- Benefits: The benefit list: Market Competitive Salary (paid weekly), Bonus Eligibility based on company, group, and individual performance, Employee Stock Ownership Plan & 401K, Industry Leading Health Coverage, Starting Your First Day Flexible Time Off (FTO), Medical, Health Savings, and Wellness credits, Flexible Spending Accounts, Employee Assistance Program, Workplace Wellness Programs, Mental Health Program, Life and Disability Insurance, Employee-Owner Perks, Educational Assistance, Sundt Foundation - Charitable Employee-Owner's program.
- Pay: The posting mentions "competitive pay" but not specific numbers. It says "Market Competitive Salary (paid weekly)" under benefits. Should we create a Pay section? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state competitive pay and market competitive salary. So we can include Pay section with that info. However we already have Benefits section that includes salary. Might be redundant. But we could put Pay as a short paragraph: "Market Competitive Salary (paid weekly)". Benefits section can list other benefits. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Pay into Benefits? But they said include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. Pay is mentioned; we could include Pay section with that detail. Benefits section can also include other benefits. That's okay.
- Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So we should not include Schedule section.
We must remove duplicated lines, boilerplate like EEO statements, "Note: Job Description is subject to change", "Physical Requirements" maybe we keep as part of Requirements. Also remove "Equal Opportunity Employer Statement" duplicated. Also remove "NOTICE TO EXTERNAL SEARCH FIRMS". Also remove "About Us" duplicate.
