<task>
Write a single, high-impact LinkedIn job title (headline) for the person described below. Your goal is one main task: produce a headline that makes a recruiter stop scrolling and understand immediately what the person does, for whom, and with what results.
</task>

<context>
The LinkedIn headline is the most visible real estate on a profile. It appears in search results, connection requests, comments, and recruiter inboxes, and it is the primary signal LinkedIn uses for search matching. A weak headline makes strong work invisible; a strong headline turns the profile into a magnet. The person is competing for opportunities in [target role or job title] within [industry or niche], at a stage of career described as [career stage, e.g., mid-career, senior, transitioning]. Their differentiators are [top 2-3 skills, tools, certifications, or achievements]. The headline must feel accurate and confident to [target audience, e.g., hiring managers, clients, peers].
</context>

<constraints>
- Stay between 120 and 200 characters; the final character limit is 220, so leave headroom.
- Lead with the strongest searchable keyword or functional title that a recruiter or client would actually type.
- Use present tense and active language; write in third person describing the person, or in the first-person format LinkedIn favors when it reads naturally.
- Express value and outcomes rather than a list of job tasks.
- Weave in 1-2 secondary keywords for search discoverability, but keep it readable out loud.
- Keep it honest: use only the information provided and never invent employers, titles, degrees, or metrics. If a number is missing, describe the value qualitatively.
- Avoid filler and clichés such as "results-driven professional," "team player," "hard worker," "passionate," "guru," "ninja," "rockstar," and any variation of "seeking," "looking for," or "unemployed."
- Use separators such as the pipe, bullet, or middot to create clear rhythm; use emoji only if [prefer emoji in headline: yes/no] is set to yes, and never more than two.
- Do not use quotation marks around the finished headline, and do not explain the choices inside the headline itself.
</constraints>

<format>
Return the output in exactly this structure:

1. PRIMARY JOB TITLE — the finished headline on its own line, followed by a parenthetical character count.
2. VARIANTS — four alternative headlines, each one line with its own character count: one keyword-maximized for search, one outcome-focused, one short and punchy, and one that positions the person as a specialist/consultant.
3. KEYWORD NOTES — a short bulleted list naming the primary and secondary keywords used, and where each appears.
4. USAGE TIP — two sentences on where this headline performs best and how to pair it with the profile About section.
</format>

<tone>
Confident, concise, and professional. Read like a person who is already doing the work at a high level — calm authority, no hype, no buzzwords, no filler.
</tone>

Now write the LinkedIn job title for the person described above, following the format and constraints exactly.
