Strategic Communications Manager, YouVersion
for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes some EEO-like statements: "Our Beliefs, Culture, and Commitment to Diversity" etc. That might be considered boilerplate? It's about beliefs and diversity; maybe we keep as part of About the role? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Our Beliefs, Culture, and Commitment to Diversity" seems like EEO/diversity statement; likely should be removed. Also "All data collected..." is privacy statement; remove.
We need to preserve substantive info: mission description, role purpose, responsibilities, skills needed, qualifications (education, experience), benefits list.
We must not create sections for Pay or Schedule unless present. No pay or schedule info given. So omit those sections.
We need sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can have: About the role (maybe a brief summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills, Benefits.
We need to decide headings: "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Requirements", "Skills", "Benefits". Could also combine Requirements and Qualifications. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which to include.
We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to list responsibilities as bullet points from the "What You'll Do" section. Skills from "Skills Needed to Succeed". Qualifications from education/experience requirements. Benefits from benefits list.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content.
Mission description: "Life.Church wants to make a lasting difference in your life, in our community, and in the world. Our mission is to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ. That's how we’re able to make a difference, and it's the driving force behind everything we do." This is about the organization; could be part of About the role.
Role description: "The Strategic Communications Manager is primarily responsible for helping shape and steward the voice of YouVersion through organizational narrative and messaging. This role works closely with the Chief Communications Officer to steward message consistency and help equip our ministry and leaders with content ready for high-visibility moments, while operating under the leadership of the Sr. Director of Public Relations. The Public Relations Team is part of the Life.Church Communications Group, which consists of four teams—including Social Media, Communication, and Marketing—who collectively develop strategies for how our ministry meets people where they are and empowers them to become fully devoted followers of Christ. Through YouVersion, one of Life.Church's digital ministries, this team helps tell the story of Scripture in the hands of hundreds of millions of people around the world. This role operationally supports the team's direction, initiatives, and ministry efforts to achieve outcomes that further Life.Church’s mission and reach people for Christ."
That's substantive; could be About the role.
Now "Who You Are" paragraph: describes personal traits; could be part of Skills or Requirements? It's more about personal attributes; maybe we treat as Skills? But we already have Skills Needed to Succeed section. The "Who You Are" includes: gift for finding exact right words, detail-obsessed, energized by fast turnarounds, staying calm under pressure, comfortable receiving feedback, team player, looking to dedicate life to something that makes eternal difference. These are soft skills/attributes. Could be included in Skills section.
But we also have explicit "Skills Needed to Succeed" bullet list: Effective at multitasking and time management..., Excellent writing and editing skills..., Strong judgment..., Comfortable working under close direction..., Ability to manage a range of priorities..., Strongly collaborative work style..., Demonstrated track record in communications..., High School Diploma or GED., Bachelor's Degree in Communications, English, Journalism, or a related field required., 5+ years of related work experience including communications and speechwriting preferred.
Thus we have qualifications (education/experience) and skills.
We need to separate Requirements (maybe education/experience) and Skills (abilities). Let's do:
- About the role: mission + role description.
- Responsibilities: bullet list from "What You'll Do".
- Requirements: education (High School Diploma or GED, Bachelor's Degree required) and experience (5+ years related work experience including communications and speechwriting preferred). Could also include "Demonstrated track record in communications, speechwriting, public relations, or a related discipline." That's more of a skill/experience.
- Skills: list from Skills Needed to Succeed (multitasking, writing/editing, judgment, working under direction, managing priorities, collaborative style) plus maybe the personal traits from Who You Are.
- Benefits: list from Benefits We Offer.
We must not include sections with placeholder text. All sections have content.
Now format: Use for each heading. Then content: either
for prose or
- for lists.
We need to preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep exact phrasing? Not required to quote exactly but must not lose detail. We'll paraphrase but keep meaning.
Let's craft.
About the role: combine mission description and role description into a paragraph or two. Could be two
elements. Responsibilities: list each bullet from "What You'll Do". Let's extract: - Partner on Strategic Content Development: Work closely with the Chief Communications Officer to develop talk outlines, scripts, and reference materials for speaking engagements and organizational gatherings. - Steward established voice, tone, and messaging standards across all content, exercising sound judgment on tone and framing. - Support message development for sensitive or high-visibility topics. - Regularly evaluate content effectiveness and identify ways to improve future materials. - Develop and Refine Key Narratives Across a Range of Strategic Topics: Draft and refine the narratives that shape speaking outlines, scripts, and reference materials calibrated to audience, format, and applicable translation constraints. - Help develop and continually refine core narratives across a range of organizational priorities and initiatives, ensuring clear sourcing and accuracy of all figures and claims, with the intent of equipping the entire ministry to carry a clear message forward in their work. - Draft internal organizational communications, including leadership messages, talk outlines, and announcement communication. - Coordinate with internal stakeholders (Marketing, Partnerships, Development, and more) to keep content development on schedule. - Maintain Tools and Resources that Support Strategic Communication: Maintain and organize a library of voice references, source quotes, and approved messaging. - Track and verify key organizational stats and figures before external use. - Support the Chief Communications Officer in equipping leaders with consistent messaging across speaking and internal communication channels. We need to keep each as

Requirements: Education: High School Diploma or GED. Bachelor's Degree in Communications, English, Journalism, or a related field required. Experience: 5+ years of related work experience including communications and speechwriting preferred. Also "Demonstrated track record in communications, speechwriting, public relations, or a related discipline." Could be included as requirement.
We'll make
- for each. Skills: list from Skills Needed to Succeed: - Effective at multitasking and time management to meet deadlines while remaining flexible and open to change. - Excellent writing and editing skills, with the ability to match an established voice and tone precisely. - Strong judgment and sound instincts, with disciplined sourcing practices. - Comfortable working under close direction on sensitive or high-visibility content. - Ability to manage a range of priorities and differing input while maintaining composure. - Strongly collaborative work style, with experience working across teams. Also personal traits from Who You Are: gift for finding exact right words, detail-obsessed, energized by fast turnarounds, staying calm under pressure, comfortable receiving feedback, team player, looking to dedicate life to something that makes eternal difference. Could be added as skills. We'll include them as separate

Benefits: list from Benefits We Offer:
- Paid parental leave, including maternity, paternity, and adoption leave.

- $160 annually in development dollars for team members to invest in their professional growth.
- Casual dress and work environment.
- And much more! (We can keep "And much more!" as a bullet? It's vague; maybe we keep but it's not specific. Could be considered filler; but it's part of benefits list. Might be okay to keep as a bullet but it's not substantive. The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. But within a list, "And much more!" is vague; maybe we should omit it as it's not specific. Better to omit vague statements. We'll keep the specific ones.
Now produce HTML.
We must not include or . Just the fragment.
Let's construct:
