Translate a Confusing Job Description Into What the Role Actually Requires
The job description says "dynamic self-starter" and "collaborative team player" and also "must be comfortable working independently". That is three things in tension and zero information about what you would actually do. This translates it into plain English: the real job, the must-haves, and the questions to ask before you accept anything.

**Translate** the job description below into a plain-English account of what this role actually requires.
1. The core job function in one sentence: what problem does this person solve for the employer?
2. The must-have skills versus the nice-to-have skills (most job descriptions inflate the must-have list).
3. Any red flags in the language (vague requirements, unrealistic scope for the seniority level, signs of unclear scope or team dysfunction).
4. Three questions worth asking at interview to test the assumptions you made in step 3.
