Vice President for Marine Operations

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the job description includes many paragraphs. We need to identify sections: About the role (maybe job summary?), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to extract content: The posting includes a long job summary about WHOI (institution description). Then "About Whoi Marine Operations". Then "FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS". Then "Job Description" describing VP role. Then "KEY RELATIONSHIPS". Then "Ideal Experience". Then "Critical Leadership Capabilities" with subpoints. We need to map to sections: About the role could be the job summary description of the role (Job Description). Responsibilities could be duties listed in Job Description. Requirements/Qualifications could be Ideal Experience and maybe Critical Leadership Capabilities. Skills maybe derived from Ideal Experience. Benefits, Pay, Schedule: not explicitly mentioned. There's mention of annual operating budget $60 million but not salary. No benefits, pay, schedule. So we should not include those sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:

  About the Role

  ... (Job Description paragraph summarizing role)

  Maybe we split responsibilities as list. From Job Description: "The Vice President for Marine Operations (VP) at WHOI is a senior leadership role responsible for the strategic oversight and management of WHOI’s extensive marine assets and operational infrastructure. This position directs a multidisciplinary team of approximately 150 staff, including engineers, technicians, and operational personnel, ensuring the safe, efficient, and innovative use of the institution’s fleet of research vessels, submersibles, and marine laboratories. The VP oversees all facets of marine facilities management, including vessel operations, maintenance, logistics, regulatory compliance, and the coordination of shipboard science support, enabling cutting-edge oceanographic research worldwide. In addition to operational management, this role involves long-term planning and budgetary oversight for a multimillion-dollar asset portfolio encompassing WHOI’s advanced research vessels, underwater vehicles, and shore-side marine support facilities. The VP oversees an annual operating budget of approximately $60 million and serves as a critical liaison with federal agencies, funding bodies, and scientific collaborators to ensure adequate funding. The VP also seeks opportunities to create new capabilities and initiate special projects that align with the Institution’s strategic objectives and help build new business. The Marine Operations assets are of great interest to donors, and the VP is a key partner with WHOI’s VP of Advancement in fundraising Through leadership, innovation, and collaboration, the VP ensures WHOI maintains its position as a global leader in ocean science by providing world-class marine platforms and services." We can put that as prose under About the Role. Then Responsibilities: maybe list bullet points from that paragraph: strategic oversight, direct team, ensure safe use, oversee marine facilities management, long-term planning, budgetary oversight, liaison with federal agencies, seek new capabilities, partner with VP of Advancement, ensure leadership. We'll create
  • for each. Then Requirements/Qualifications: Ideal Experience bullet points. Also Critical Leadership Capabilities maybe as Skills. Ideal Experience list: "Proven executive leadership experience capable of maintaining WHOI’s #1 ship operator reputation. Highly regarded player in ship operations with a strong understanding of ships. Significant, demonstrable experience with sea-going research and operations, and technologies related to access to the sea. Demonstrated success as a strategic leader who can provide an impactful vision for the future of ocean research and science, emerging technologies, and the next generation of ships and marine operations. Confident, collaborative manager with strong project management skills who can empower a highly competent team, set high standards and hold people accountable, and ensure a positive work environment for a dedicated, diverse team. Deep knowledge of and passion for ocean science and technology. Financially savvy leader who has managed large, complex budgets and teams. Proven ability to align marine operations resources with an organization’s mission. Demonstrated success in working as part of a high-functioning team internally and collaborating well with other institutions, government entities, the local community, etc. Good communicator with the ability to represent and articulate the importance of WHOI's marine facilities within and outside the Institution.

Background in science is preferred but not required. Understands academic ocean research and embraces the value of academic research and the scientific process. Eligible to receive security clearance; US Citizen. Understanding a union environment would be helpful." We can turn each sentence into
  • . Then Skills maybe from Critical Leadership Capabilities: list of capabilities: Strategic and Operational Acumen, Leading Change and Driving Impact (with subpoints). We could treat as Skills section. But we need to avoid filler. The Critical Leadership Capabilities includes paragraphs with bullet-like sentences. We'll extract each bullet. From text: "Strategic and Operational Acumen As emerging ocean technologies present new frontiers for exploration and discovery, the new VP for Marine Operations must ensure that WHOI continues to hold a leading role in marine operations, supporting the Institution’s talented team of scientists and engineers. Forge an ambitious, bold strategy and roadmap for the future of WHOI’s marine operations and the facilities needed to support it. Cultivate and support an environment that promotes innovation, encourages collaborative synergies across the community, and leverages strategic partnerships with other academic, governmental, and private organizations. Identify and prioritize critical areas for investment in marine operations and facilities.

Develop and retain high quality leadership within the marine operations staff, provide inspiration and motivation, and encourage efficiencies and teamwork. Promote the existing mission-driven culture that productively supports the success of the marine operations staff, their role within the WHOI community, and their interactions with the broader oceanographic community." Then "Leading Change and Driving Impact As the academic research fleet is undergoing change due to emerging technologies and new players in the field of ocean science, it will be critical that the next VP for Marine Operations has the ability to adapt to a changing environment. Foster a culture of creativity and open discussion to support change and evolution. Create strategies for investing in and partnering on new technologies and platforms that will amplify WHOI’s impact. Ensure that WHOI continues to be a leader in the operation of technologies and assets to support science and engineering. Provide clear direction for the changes and resources necessary to execute the strategy, including actionable and measurable goals for individuals, teams, projects, etc. Develop new benchmarks and metrics to under" (cut off). We'll include what we have. We'll treat these as Skills. Now we need to ensure we don't include Pay/Benefits/Schedule sections. Now produce HTML. We'll start with
