Accounts Payable Technician II - BU

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - About Us (maybe "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is description of FAS. Could be "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map "About Us" to "About the role"? Probably "About the role" heading should contain description of role? But we have "Position Description" at top. Could treat that as "About the role". However we need to avoid repeating job title as heading. The job title is "Accounts Payable Technician II (Accounting Technician II-BU)". We shouldn't put that as heading. So we can have a section "About the role" with the position description paragraph. Then "Responsibilities": list of duties. Then "Qualifications": Minimum Qualifications and The Most Successful Candidates Will Possess (these are qualifications/skills). Could separate into "Qualifications" and "Skills". The instruction says we can have Qualifications and Skills sections. We need to decide what goes where. We have "Minimum Qualifications:" bullet (two years experience etc). Then "The Most Successful Candidates Will Possess The Following" list of attributes (motivated self-starter, ability to perform independently, etc). Those are more like skills/qualities. Could put them under "Skills". Also "Working knowledge of PeopleSoft financial system, Microsoft Office, and basic knowledge of using SQL queries." That's a skill. Thus: - Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications (experience/education). - Skills: list of desired attributes and technical skills. Then "Benefits": The posting mentions comprehensive benefits package including vacation, holiday, sick leave, medical, dental, vision, life and long-term disability insurance. Also link to benefits page. So we have benefits content. - Pay: The posting includes "The full range for this step-progression position is $33.72 - $39.18 per hour." That's pay. - Schedule: "This position requires a minimum of three days per week of onsite work. Alternative Work Arrangements and hybrid telework schedules for work conducted in a normal office environment may be considered and will be based on operational needs and consistency with City policies." That's schedule. We should not include sections like "About Us" as separate heading if we map to About the role. Could also include "About the role" with the position description paragraph (the first paragraph). Also maybe include "About Us" content? The instruction says use headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, etc. So we should not include "About Us" as a heading; we can incorporate that into About the role or maybe omit. The "About Us" paragraph describes FAS division. That is substantive info about the employer, not the role. Could we put it under "About the role"? Might be okay but it's more about the division. However we have to preserve ALL substantive information. If we omit it, we lose info. So we need to include it somewhere. Perhaps we can include a section "About the role" that includes both the position description and the About Us paragraph. Or we could create a section "About the division" but not allowed headings. So we must fit into allowed headings. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put the FAS description under About the role. Thus About the role will contain two paragraphs: the position description and the About Us description. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, background check, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we must strip out sections like "Application Process", "Background Check", "Why work at the City of Seattle?" (maybe that's EEO/diversity statement; could be considered boilerplate? It's about antiracist culture, but it's still a statement about values; might be considered EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So we should remove the "Why work at the City of Seattle?" paragraph and the "Who May Apply:" paragraph, also the diversity statement. Also remove "If you have questions regarding this bulletin..." etc. Also remove "Candidate Notification" etc. Also remove "PLEASE NOTE: This job advertisement is not designed to cover..." etc. Also remove "Background Check:" etc. Also remove "Additional Information" maybe? Actually "Additional Information" includes classification, civil service, FLSA, overtime, pay range. That's partly pay info. We already captured pay range. The classification etc may be considered metadata; we could drop it as minor metadata. The instruction says do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can drop classification etc. Thus we keep: - About the role: position description paragraph + About Us paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of duties (the bullet points after "Job Responsibilities"). - Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications paragraph. - Skills: The Most Successful Candidates Will Possess list + Working knowledge of PeopleSoft, MS Office, SQL. - Benefits: benefits package paragraph. - Pay: pay range paragraph. - Schedule: work arrangement paragraph. We need to format lists with

• . For responsibilities, we have a colon then a list of items separated by line breaks? The text: "Job Responsibilities Perform a full scope of departmental AP/PO/CC/AM functions including:Create and maintain PO’s, process change orders and requisitions, monitor encumbrances and funds available.Process invoices, lease schedules, special payment requests, travel and training, employee cash advances, and petty cash by creating vouchers or performing uploads in PeopleSoft 9.2 (City Finance System); match source documents (PO, receipt, invoice); and verify pricing for products, services, shipping/freight.Calculate invoice amount and discount, sales tax and use tax as appropriate.Ensure invoice coding is correct, resolve control group's out-of-balance errors, and prepare voucher or journal corrections.Review and reconcile travel and training account.Understand and apply payments correctly to the city’s procurement contracts, and understand the interactions between the A/P system and the city’s contracting management system.Identify costs to be billed back to customer departments and prepare journal entries for interdepartmental billings.Process and approve commercial card transactions.

Ensure transactions processed following the City's policies, guidelines, and procedures.Serve as a backup for other Accounts Payable staff." We need to split into sensible list items. Each sentence after colon seems to be a duty. We can split by periods. Let's extract each duty: 1. Create and maintain PO’s, process change orders and requisitions, monitor encumbrances and funds available. 2. Process invoices, lease schedules, special payment requests, travel and training, employee cash advances, and petty cash by creating vouchers or performing uploads in PeopleSoft 9.2 (City Finance System); match source documents (PO, receipt, invoice); and verify pricing for products, services, shipping/freight. 3. Calculate invoice amount and discount, sales tax and use tax as appropriate. 4. Ensure invoice coding is correct, resolve control group's out-of-balance errors, and prepare voucher or journal corrections. 5. Review and reconcile travel and training account. 6. Understand and apply payments correctly to the city’s procurement contracts, and understand the interactions between the A/P system and the city’s contracting management system. 7. Identify costs to be billed back to customer departments and prepare journal entries for interdepartmental billings. 8. Process and approve commercial card transactions. Maintain good internal controls and compliance on the uses of the City's commercial cards. 9. Capitalize assets purchased through APPO system. 10. Assist in training and implementation of new accounting procedures and methods. 11. Ensure transactions processed following the City's policies, guidelines, and procedures. 12. Serve as a backup for other Accounts Payable staff. We can combine some: #8 includes two sentences; we can keep as one item. Now Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications: "Two (2) years accounting and/or bookkeeping experience or one (1) year of work experience as an Accounting Technician I. (Or a combination of education and/or training and/or experience which provides an equivalent background required to perform the work of the class.)" We can put as a paragraph. Skills: The Most Successful Candidates Will Possess list: - Highly motivated self-starter who works well in a continuously changing environment. - Ability to perform independently, exercise judgment, and demonstrate solid problem-solving skills. - Ability to estimate timelines and resources to accomplish a task, effectively monitor progress, and make frequent status reports. - Strong organizational skills and attention to details. - Results oriented, able to handle multiple priorities, and success in a fast-paced environment with varied accounting responsibilities. - Strong interpersonal and communication skills. Demonstrate excellent collaboration as well as oral and written communication. - Commit and dedicate to daily work. Be responsible and accountable. Take pride in the accuracy, quality, and completeness of work. - Working knowledge of PeopleSoft financial system, Microsoft Office (e.g., Excel, Word, PowerPoint), and basic knowledge of using SQL queries. We can make each bullet a
• . Benefits: "The City of Seattle offers a comprehensive benefits package including vacation, holiday, and sick leave as well as medical, dental, vision, life and long-term disability insurance for employees and their dependents. More information about employee benefits is available on the City's website at: https://www.seattle.gov/human-resources/benefits." We can keep as paragraph, maybe include link as . Pay: "The full range for this step-progression position is $33.72 - $39.18 per hour." Schedule: "This position requires a minimum of three days per week of onsite work. Alternative Work Arrangements and hybrid telework schedules for work conducted in a normal office environment may be considered and will be based on operational needs and consistency with City policies." Now About the role: combine position description paragraph and About Us paragraph. Position description paragraph: "The City of Seattle is seeking a qualified applicant to join the Accounting and Budget Services (ABS) Division for an Accounts Payable Technician II (Accounting Technician II-BU) position. The Accounting Tech II position performs a full range of Accounts Payable (AP), Purchase Orders (PO), Credit Card (CC), and related Asset Management (AM) functions. This position requires knowledge of basic accounting as well as the City and departmental procedures and practices, fully engages in the preparation, operation, maintenance, and reconciliation of accounting transactions while ensuring a high level of customer satisfaction." About Us paragraph: "FAS is often the public's first interaction with the City of Seattle, operating as a customer-focused front door that assists with everything from paying utilities or reporting a pothole to requesting public information or even adopting a new pet. The 500-plus employees of FAS span across 10 divisions and work behind-the-scenes providing critical functions, like managing 120 City facilities—including police and fire stations—overseeing the City's neighborhood customer service centers and Customer Service Bureau and making sure minority-owned businesses can equitably compete for City contracts. No matter the need, FAS is here—at your service." We'll combine into maybe two paragraphs. Now we must ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "PLEASE NOTE:", "Application Process", "Background Check", "Why work at the City of Seattle?", "Who May Apply:", "If you have questions...", "Candidate Notification", etc. Also we must not repeat the job title as a heading. We aren't. Now
