Job ad for Aquatic Centre Program Manager
This is a detailed job ad; one section is labelled "Contexte d'intervention" and contains the following text:
Les situations à traiter sont variées et sont d'ordre fonctionnel. Les solutions aux problèmes s'inspirent de règles ou de directives établies, mais nécessitent de la réflexion, de la recherche et du jugement. Le titulaire doit utiliser des compétences en communication pour motiver, persuader ou conseiller d’autres personnes à agir d’une certaine façon pour les guider dans les solutions de problèmes en s’appuyant sur son expérience professionnelle ou ses connaissances spécialisées. La fonction exige une habileté d’influencer les personnes à fournir des informations pertinentes supplémentaires ou à agir d’une certaine façon.
It's the heading ("Contexte d'information") that I'm having trouble translating. TIA

: Maybe in Canada but have never heard this in the UK. Job description or job specification/well, the others here seem to agree with me rather than you.

Jennifer, the question is not "profil professionnel" or "description d'emploi" or "description de poste" or "description de tâches"...

Lucy O'Shea
: with J White. Job description sounds much more natural than job scope. In job offers I often translate, the terms "Activities", "Duties" and "Responsibilities" are also used fairly frequently.

AllegroTrans
: French uses "intervention" for many concepts where English generally only uses it for emergencies and urgent situations - it doesn't work in this context as the text implies nothing of that kind// Action Area does NOT work!

Then, let's say ACTION AREA.// My impression is that the title and the text do not match, even in French!

philgoddard
: Action area doesn't work either.

As far as the heading is concerned, the whole text just looks like a job description outlining the skills required to perform various functions
