Full-time
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. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - Overview: description of role: "We are seeking an AR Accountant who will focus on maintenance and development of systems that facilitate accurate receipt information and financial reporting. This position resides in the Accounting Division within the Business Services Directorate at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)." That's about the role. - Major Duties/Responsibilities: list of duties (many bullet-like sentences). Should be
  • . - Basic Qualifications: list of qualifications (BS/BA degree...). Should be maybe under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). We need to decide which headings to use. Likely we can have:

    About the role

    (overview)

    Responsibilities

    (duties)

    Requirements

    (basic qualifications)

    Preferred Qualifications

    maybe under Qualifications? But we have headings list includes Qualifications and Skills. Could combine preferred qualifications under Qualifications. Or separate. We also have Special Requirements (HSPD-12 PIV badge, etc.) maybe under Requirements or Qualifications. We have Benefits: description of benefits (competitive pay and benefits programs, list). So we can have

    Benefits

    . Pay: Not explicitly stated; they say "competitive pay" but no specific numbers. According to rule: never create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "ORNL offers competitive pay and benefits programs". That's not a specific pay figure. Should we include Pay? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Benefits is stated (they list benefits). Pay is not specific; just "competitive pay". Might be considered not specific enough. Safer to omit Pay section. Schedule: They mention flexible work environment, hybrid/onsite, flexible work hours. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Skills: Could be derived from preferred qualifications (SAP experience, organizational skills, communication, etc.). Could create Skills section. We must not invent or summarize away detail. Must preserve all substantive info. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can group them under appropriate headings. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, cookie/navigation/legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Requisition Id 17047 Overview" maybe we keep overview but not the ID. The ID is minor metadata; we can drop it. The overview paragraph after ID we keep. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's extract substantive content: Overview paragraph: "We are seeking an AR Accountant who will focus on maintenance and development of systems that facilitate accurate receipt information and financial reporting. This position resides in the Accounting Division within the Business Services Directorate at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)." Duties list (Major Duties/Responsibilities): each sentence seems a duty. We'll list them as
  • . Let's copy them exactly: - Apply customer and other miscellaneous payments accurately and timely. - Research and resolve unapplied payments and payment discrepancies to maintain accurate customer accounts. - Prepare the Statement of Cash Activity reconciling to General Ledger, Treasury and DOE STARS financial reporting. - Handle the collection and processing of IPAC receipts for Other Federal Agencies reconciling journal entries generated in STARS and Ledger to the file transmitted to DOE and including these on the Statement of Cash Activity. - Handle the collection and processing of DOEPAC receipts for integrated contractors. - Reconcile both DOEPAC AR receipts and AP payments to general ledger accounts and DOEPAC including these amounts on Statement of Cash Activity. - Review final entries generated in SAP and reconcile to STARS entries. - Monitor debit/credit aged balances monthly, contact customers as necessary, and resolve all issues. - Create new customer codes for new projects; segregating customers into groups based on Other Party Identifiers. - Responds to inquiries from vendors and departments regarding receipts and invoices in a timely manner. - Supply customer with required tax information for U.T. Battelle. - Initiate and review all journal entries in SAP related to AR and ensure the entries have the correct STARS attributes for Financial Reporting. - Prepare various reports related to Isotopes collections and customer. - Perform maintenance and update of AR desk procedures. - Serve as subject matter expert for STARS reporting for AR details. - Monitor all documents that have been blocked for receipt in IPAC and work with SD Technical Lead to resolve all issues. - Prepare Monthly, Quarterly, and Year End financial reporting for submission to DOE and prepare other reports as assigned on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. - Review documentation of AR Internal Controls and develop/update A-123 test plans as needed. - Testing and support of SAP software updates. - Build and maintain teamwork with members of the Treasury and Conference Center departments. - Perform other duties, as the supervisor may deem necessary. - Participate or complete special projects as assigned. - Ensure compliance with environment, safety, health, and quality program requirements. - Maintain strong commitment to the implementation and perpetuation of values and ethics. - Advise and instruct AR personnel on relevant receipt issues as needed and in the absence of the AR supervisor. - Deliver ORNL’s mission by aligning behaviors, priorities, and interactions with our core values of Impact, Integrity, Teamwork, Safety, and Service. Promote equal opportunity by fostering a respectful workplace – in how we treat one another, work together, and measure success. Note: The last sentence includes EEO language; but it's part of duties? It's about values and equal opportunity. Might be considered boilerplate? It's about values and promoting equal opportunity. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. This sentence includes "Promote equal opportunity by fostering a respectful workplace". That's EEO language. Should we remove it? It's part of duties but it's EEO. Probably remove that sentence. Also earlier "Deliver ORNL’s mission by aligning behaviors, priorities, and interactions with our core values of Impact, Integrity, Teamwork, Safety, and Service." That's values, not EEO. Keep that. Thus we should remove the sentence: "Promote equal opportunity by fostering a respectful workplace – in how we treat one another, work together, and measure success." Also earlier there is "Ensure compliance with environment, safety, health, and quality program requirements." That's fine. Now Basic Qualifications: "BS/BA degree in accounting, finance, or a related business field with a minimum of two years of relevant accounts receivable or accounting experience. Must possess demonstrated skills in accounts receivable/accounting processes. Requires proficiency in applying accounts receivable/accounting principles, policies, procedures and knowledge of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)." We'll put as list. Preferred Qualifications: "Prior SAP experience is preferred. Knowledge of UT-Battelle and DOE accounting systems, policies, and procedures is desired. Strong organizational and interpersonal skills. Demonstrated ability to work effectively and build relationships with department managers and customers. Strong interpersonal, communication and organizational skills, along with demonstrated personal initiative and willingness to learn. Effective problem analysis and resolution skills are required. Must possess the ability and willingness to work effectively as a member of a team, as well as independently, as required. Excellent attention to detail and well-developed written and oral communication skills and ability to conduct analysis of accounting records and effectively present business impact are required. Proficiency in PC Microsoft Office, word processing, spreadsheets, and databases, such as Excel, Access, Adobe Acrobat and Word. Demonstrate skills with Microsoft Office products and relational databases." Note some repetition; we keep as is. Special Requirements: "This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain an HSPD-12 PIV badge. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position. For employment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), a Real ID compliant form of identification will be required. Additionally, ORNL is subject to Department of Energy (DOE) access restrictions. All employees must also be able to obtain and maintain a federal Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card as mandated by Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) and Department of Energy (DOE) Order 473.1A, which requires a favorable post-employment background investigation. To obtain this credential, new employees must successfully complete and pass a Federal Tier 1 background check investigation. This investigation includes a declaration of illegal drug activities, including use, supply, possession, or manufacture within the last year. This includes marijuana and cannabis derivatives, which are still considered illegal under federal law, regardless of state laws." We need to decide where to put this. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. Since it's about eligibility, maybe under Requirements. We'll include as list under Requirements (maybe separate heading "Requirements" includes both basic and special). But we already have Basic Qualifications; we could have Requirements heading with subpoints? The instruction only allows headings, not subheadings. We could combine Basic Qualifications and Special Requirements under Requirements heading as a list. Or we could have Requirements for basic qualifications and Qualifications for preferred. Let's see typical pattern: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Thus: - About the role: overview paragraph. - Responsibilities: duties list. - Requirements: basic qualifications + special requirements (maybe combined). But we need to avoid duplication; we can list them. - Qualifications: preferred qualifications. - Skills: maybe we can extract skills from preferred qualifications (SAP experience, organizational skills, communication, etc.) but that would duplicate. Better to not have Skills section if it's just repeating. But we could create Skills section listing specific skills: SAP, Microsoft Office, etc. However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine preferred qualifications into Qualifications and not have separate Skills. - Benefits: list of benefits. - Schedule: mention flexible work environment, hybrid/onsite, flexible work hours. We must not include Pay. Now we need to ensure we preserve all substantive info. Let's check if any info missing: The overview paragraph includes ORNL description later (About ORNL). That's a paragraph about ORNL: "As a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science national laboratory, ORNL has an impressive 80-year legacy...". That's substantive info about the organization. Should we include that? It's not about the role but about ORNL. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? The instruction says we can have About the role section. Could include that description there as well. It's substantive. We'll include it in About the role after the overview. Also there is statement: "ORNL offers competitive pay and benefits programs to attract and retain individuals who demonstrate exceptional work behaviors. The laboratory provides a range of employee benefits, including medical and retirement plans and flexible work hours, to support the well-being of you and your family. Employee amenities such as on-site fitness, banking, and cafeteria facilities are also available for added convenience. Other benefits include the following: Prescription Drug Plan, Dental Plan, Vision Plan, 401(k) Retirement Plan, Contributory Pension Plan, Life Insurance, Disability Benefits, Generous Vacation and Holidays, Parental Leave, Legal Insurance with Identity Theft Protection, Employee Assistance Plan, Flexible Spending Accounts, Health Savings Accounts, Wellness Programs, Educational Assistance, Relocation Assistance, and Employee Discounts." That's benefits details. We'll put under Benefits. Also: "This position
