Job Description

A formal document outlining the duties, responsibilities, and requirements of a role.

Full Definition

A job description is a formal written document that defines the purpose, duties, responsibilities, required qualifications, and reporting relationships of a specific position. Effective job descriptions attract suitable candidates, set clear performance expectations, support fair pay decisions, and provide legal protection. Modern job descriptions focus on outcomes and competencies rather than task lists, and use inclusive language to attract diverse candidates.
