VP, Algorithm Governance Framework & Standards, TDS Governance & Control
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe from job description paragraph). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (list). Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications list). Pay (maybe just p). Schedule (p). Possibly also "Work Location" as p.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay detail is given, so we include.
Let's extract content:
Work Location: New York, New York, United States of America
Hours 40
Line Of Business Governance & Control
Pay Detail $150,000 - $175,000 USD
Job Description Preferred Qualifications: (actually heading "Preferred Qualifications:" but then description). Actually the text: "Job Description Preferred Qualifications: TD Securities (TDS) is seeking an experienced governance professional..." So we can treat that as About the role.
Then "Key Responsibilities" with bullet-like sentences separated by periods. We'll convert each sentence to
- .
Then "Required Experience" list.
Then "Preferred Qualifications" list (starting after Required Experience). Actually after Required Experience there is "Preferred Qualifications" then list.
Then there is "General Job Description: The Manager II, Governance & Control leads..." This seems like generic description of role level; could be part of About the role or maybe separate but we can include in About the role.
Then many sections like "Depth & Scope", "Education & Experience", "Customer Accountabilities", "Shareholder Accountabilities", "Employee/Team Accountabilities". These are likely generic competency frameworks; but they contain substantive info. Should we include? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should include them, but we need to decide headings. They are not standard headings like About the role etc. But we could treat them as sub-sections? However instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests we should only use those headings; other headings should not be used. So we should fold that info into appropriate sections (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications). For example, Depth & Scope etc could go under About the role or Responsibilities. But we must not lose detail.
We could create a single About the role section that includes all descriptive paragraphs (Job Description Preferred Qualifications, General Job Description, Depth & Scope, Education & Experience, Customer Accountabilities, Shareholder Accountabilities, Employee/Team Accountabilities). That would be a lot of prose; we can put them in
tags.
Responsibilities: list from Key Responsibilities.
Requirements: list from Required Experience.
Qualifications: list from Preferred Qualifications.
Pay: p with Pay Detail.
Schedule: p with Hours 40.
Work Location: maybe p.
We must not include boilerplate like "TD is committed to providing fair and equitable compensation..." etc. That's generic; we should remove.
Also remove lines like "Growth opportunities and skill development are defining features..." etc.
Also remove "As a candidate, you are encouraged to ask compensation related questions..." etc.
Also remove "The base pay actually offered may vary..." etc.
Also remove "TD is committed..." etc.
Also remove "Our compensation policies..." etc.
Also remove "The Manager II, Governance & Control leads and manages a governance and control team..." Actually that's part of General Job Description; we keep.
We must also remove duplicated lines.
Let's extract substantive paragraphs:
From after "Job Description Preferred Qualifications:":
"TD Securities (TDS) is seeking an experienced governance professional to support the continued evolution of its Front Office Algorithm Governance framework. Reporting to the Director, TDS Algorithm Governance & Controls (G&C), this role will serve as a subject matter expert responsible for evaluating current algorithm governance practices, identifying opportunities for enhancement, and helping design and implement a target-state governance framework aligned with regulatory expectations and industry practices.
