Strategic Communications Lead

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The description includes Position Overview, Key Responsibilities, Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Visa Sponsorship, Location, Compensation, Benefits, Diversity. We must use

for section headings. Do not repeat job title. Do not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The Diversity section includes EEO statement; that is boilerplate? It says "Diversity We know that the diversity of our teams makes us stronger..." It's EEO. Should we remove? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should remove the Diversity section entirely. Also remove Visa Sponsorship? It's not boilerplate; it's specific info about visa sponsorship. Keep it. Location is specific. Compensation specific. Benefits specific. We should not include sections with placeholder text. All sections have real content. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use

  . For responsibilities list, we have many bullet-like sentences but not explicitly bullet list. We can convert each responsibility into

• . The responsibilities are under headings like "Strategic Communications Planning", "Audience Narrative & Insight Development", etc. Those are subheadings within responsibilities. We could treat each bullet as list item. But we need to decide structure: maybe a section "Responsibilities" with
  • each responsibility. Could also keep subheadings as

    ? But only

    allowed for section headings. We could embed subheadings as or just plain text inside

    . Simpler: create a

    with each responsibility sentence as
    • . Ensure we preserve all substantive information. Similarly for Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications: list items. Benefits: list of benefits separated by commas; we can split into list items. Compensation: prose. Location: prose. Visa Sponsorship: prose. About the role/Position Overview: prose. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Let's extract content. Position Overview paragraph: "RMI is seeking a Strategic Communications Lead to develop and drive communications strategies that advance the clean energy transition in the built environment, influence key audiences, and support organizational impact.

      . Key Responsibilities: there are subheadings with paragraphs. We'll extract each bullet-like sentence.

      inside Preferred Qualifications section.

There's no punctuation besides commas. We'll split by commas but some items have parentheses. We'll just create list items by splitting on commas that are not inside parentheses? Simpler: we can keep as a single

      but instruction says use

      • for any list of benefits. So we need to make list. We'll manually split sensible items: - Medical - dental - vision insurance - 403b retirement match with immediate vesting - Group life, AD&D, and short- and long-term disability - Optional voluntary life, AD&D and accident plans - Health savings or flexible spending accounts - Fertility and hormonal health support - Mental health and wellness support - Comprehensive leaves of absence (including generous parental leave) - Generous paid time off and sick leave - Paid sabbatical leave - Regional holidays with at least one extended break in each geography - Work from home and home technology allowances - Learning & development opportunities (LinkedIn Learning and an annual individual professional development budget) - Potential for bonuses and merit increases - Discount marketplace (gym memberships, pet insurance, etc.) - Hybrid / remote work options - Team retreats and geographic meetups - Rewards and recognition programs Note: "Group life, AD&D, and short- and long-term disability" includes commas inside; we keep as one item.
