Technical Principal
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
Content includes:
- About the role (description)
- Responsibilities (list of bullet points under "In This Role You Will")
- Qualifications (list of bullet points under "What makes You an ideal candidate?" and "Additional Knowledge And Skills")
- Work Experience & Education (list of requirements)
- Certifications and Licenses (list)
- What We Offer (benefits list)
- Our Culture (maybe not needed as separate heading; but could be part of "About the role"? It's a paragraph about culture. Could be included as a separate section? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. "Our Culture" is not in that list but could be considered part of "About the role" or maybe "Skills"? Probably better to include as part of "About the role" or maybe as a separate "Culture" but not in list. Safer to include as part of "About the role" prose.
- Compensation: "Competitive pay and bonus eligibility." That's pay info, but it's vague. The instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "Competitive pay and bonus eligibility." That's somewhat vague but it's still stating pay. However they said avoid filler like "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". "Competitive pay and bonus eligibility" is not filler exactly but still vague. Might be okay to include a Pay section? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine pay into Benefits? But Benefits already listed. Could include a "Compensation" section but not in the prescribed list. The list includes Pay as an example heading. So we could include a Pay section with that sentence. However it's vague but still substantive? Might be considered filler? Not sure. Safer to omit Pay section because it's not specific numbers. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state them (competitive pay and bonus eligibility). So we could include Pay section with that sentence. But they also said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be okay to include.
Schedule: "Flexible hybrid work environment, 2-days a week in office." That's schedule info. So we could include a Schedule section.
Benefits: Already have a list.
Thus we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Work Experience & Education, Certifications and Licenses, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Skills? But Qualifications already covers skills.
We need to use
for each section heading.
Inside each section, we need to use
for prose and
- for lists.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes "This position will be posted until filled." That's metadata; we can fold into a short
or drop it. Probably drop it as minor metadata.
Also "NOTE: We are unable to consider candidates who require visa sponsorship for this position" and "This position is not open to agency submissions #GMFJobs". Those are also metadata; we can drop or fold into a short
. Probably drop.
We need to avoid duplication: The text includes repeated culture paragraph twice; we should include only once.
Let's extract substantive content:
About the role: The paragraph starting "As a technical thought leader and subject matter expert for assigned business area, the Principal will be a key influencer to achieve strategic alignment and deliver business value." Continue through "This person will represent GM Financial in the broader community and serve as a de-facto ambassador for the organization. It will be important for the Principal to maintain a strong network in the community and represent GM Financial well."
That's the About the role section.
Responsibilities: The bullet list under "In This Role You Will". Let's capture each bullet:
- Influence projects and initiatives through technical expertise
- Become a trusted and valued partner of department and business leaders by providing subject matter expertise, guidance and support
- Drive technical thought-leadership, acting as a change agent and advocate for new methodologies that enable higher levels of business agility and operational excellence
- Understand, communicate and commit to the team's vision, goals and strategies, translating vision to solutions while balancing risk, investment needs and fit for purpose
- Foster open communication that welcomes information sharing, seeks input from others and values diverse viewpoints
- Maintain a strong internal network by working across the business segment to foster a culture of trust, inclusion, engagement and integrity
- Help to drive cross-team solutions, anticipating and addressing problems ahead of the need by acting as a key influencer in assigned oversight areas
Note there is a weird character before each bullet; we ignore.
Qualifications: The bullet list under "What makes You an ideal candidate?":
- Experience with leading initiatives from start to finish
- Strong knowledge of business acumen and a deep understanding of business implications of decisions
- Strong understanding of company values, mission, vision and strategic direction
- Thorough knowledge of GM Financial’s business operations
- Recognized as a subject matter expert in area(s) of specialty
- Demonstrates relationship management skills and ability to influence others to achieve results by working across the business segment, being open to ideas and actively engaging others
- Ability to provide leadership through mentorship, influence, inspiration, collaboration and teamwork
- Demonstrates professional behavior in using logic, analysis and judgment when encountering challenges
- Ability to innovate and adopt new approaches, technologies and solutions
- Ability to establish strong working relationships and build trust with peers, cross-functional partners and related professional organizations
Then "Additional Knowledge And Skills" bullet list:
- Working effectively within an AI enabled environment: Ability to use AI tools (e.g., Microsoft Copilot) to support daily work
- Skills in evaluating AI outputs for accuracy, compliance, and bias
- Experience integrating AI into workflows to improve efficiency or insights
- Familiarity with AI assisted research, summarization, and content generation
- Understanding of responsible AI use, including ethics and data protection
We could combine Qualifications and Additional Knowledge And Skills into a single Qualifications section, but the instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could keep Qualifications as one section containing both sets of bullets. Or we could split into Qualifications and Skills. The list of headings includes Skills as an example. So we could have Qualifications and Skills sections. However the content under "Additional Knowledge And Skills" is clearly skills. So we could have Qualifications (the first list) and Skills (the second list). That seems appropriate.
Work Experience & Education: bullet list:
- Greater than 10 years in related function required
- 3-5 years leading through mentorship in related field required
- 3-5 years leading projects and initiatives through influence required
- High School Diploma or equivalent required
- Associate Degree or High School Equivalent plus 2 additional years of related experience required
Certifications and Licenses: bullet list:
- Related certifications and/or licenses required
- Member of and recommendation by accredited association in related field preferred
What We Offer: bullet list:
- Generous benefits package available on day one to include: 401K matching, bonding leave for new parents (12 weeks, 100% paid), tuition assistance, training, GM employee auto discount, community service pay and nine company holidays.
Our Culture: paragraph: "Our team members define and shape our culture — an environment that welcomes innovative ideas, fosters integrity, and creates a sense of community and belonging. Here we do more than work — we thrive."
Compensation: "Competitive pay and bonus eligibility."
Schedule: "Flexible hybrid work environment, 2-days a week in office."
We should also include maybe a short paragraph about location? The job description starts with "Why GM Financial? GM Financial is the wholly owned captive finance subsidiary of General Motors and is headquartered in Fort Worth, U.S. We are a global provider..." That's about the company; could be part of About the role or maybe a separate "About the company" but not needed. The instruction says do not repeat job title as heading; we can include company overview as prose in About the role section? The About the role currently is about the role; we could prepend company overview as part of About the role? Might be better to have a separate "About the company" but not in list. Safer to incorporate into About the role as introductory prose.
Thus About the role section will have prose: company overview + role description.
We need to ensure we don't duplicate the culture paragraph; we have it in Our Culture section.
