Assist.Director, Strategic Operations T&C Programs - 141431
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We need to extract substantive info: job title is given but we should not repeat as heading. Provide sections: maybe "About the role" (position overview), "Responsibilities" (duties), "Requirements" (qualifications), "Qualifications" maybe same? Actually we need to decide.
The posting includes: Position Overview (description of role). Then "Incumbent functions..." etc. That's responsibilities. Then "Qualifications" section with bullet-like sentences. Also "Preferred Qualifications". Also "SPECIAL CONDITIONS". Also Pay info: Hiring Pay Scale $119,000-$140,000/Annually, also Pay Transparency Act Annual Full Pay Range: $100,100 - $187,500. Also Work Schedule: Days, 8 hrs/day, Mon - Fri, 8:00 am - 4:30 pm - Hybrid. Also Worksite: Torrey Pines Center South. Appointment Type Career Appointment Percent 100%. Union Uncovered. Total Openings 1. Also Department Overview.
We need to include Pay and Schedule sections if they have real content. Yes.
Benefits: not mentioned specifically. So omit Benefits.
Skills: maybe we can extract from qualifications but we could put under Qualifications or Skills. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can choose which to include. Likely include About the role (position overview), Responsibilities (duties), Qualifications (including preferred), Pay, Schedule. Possibly Requirements (maybe same as qualifications). But we should not duplicate.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details like department overview, position overview, responsibilities, qualifications, preferred qualifications, special conditions, pay scale, work schedule, worksite, appointment type, union, openings.
We need to format as HTML with headings and - for lists,
for prose.
We need to decide how to structure lists: For responsibilities, we can list bullet points. For qualifications, list bullet points. For preferred qualifications, list bullet points. For special conditions maybe as
.
We need to avoid boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, application instructions, navigation, cookie, legal. Also remove "Apply Now" repeated lines, "Filing Deadline", maybe keep? Filing deadline is substantive? It's a date; but it's like application instruction. The instruction says remove application instructions. Filing deadline is part of application instructions? Probably yes, remove. Also "Apply Now" lines.
Also remove "UC San Diego values and welcomes people from all backgrounds..." that's EEO boilerplate. Remove.
Also remove "If employed by the University of California, you will be required to comply with our Policy on Vaccination Programs..." that's boilerplate.
Also remove "The University of California is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc.
Also remove "Misconduct Disclosure Requirement:" maybe that's a condition but could be considered substantive? It's a condition of employment. Might be considered special condition. But it's lengthy legal. Might be considered boilerplate? Not sure. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is legal condition; maybe keep as part of special conditions? It's a condition of employment. Might be considered legal boilerplate. Safer to remove? But it's a specific condition about misconduct disclosure. Could be considered part of SPECIAL CONDITIONS. The posting already has SPECIAL CONDITIONS about background check and mandated reporter. The misconduct disclosure is another condition. Might be considered legal. I'd keep it under SPECIAL CONDITIONS as it's a condition. But to be safe, maybe include it as part of SPECIAL CONDITIONS.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences.
Let's craft:
About the role
Position Overview: This position serves as Assistant Director, Strategic Operations, Travel & Card Programs, a division of Integrated Procure-to-Pay Solutions (IPPS) housed within Residential, Retail, and Supply Chain Services (RRSS).

Then maybe Department Overview as part of About the role? Could be separate but we can include in About the role.
Better to have About the role include position overview and department overview.
Then Responsibilities: we can extract from position overview duties. But we already have a lot of prose. Could split: About the role = department overview + position overview. Responsibilities = list of duties.

Now ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now produce HTML.
We need to wrap each section with heading then content.
For lists, use - .

We'll need to decide what goes in each section.
About the role: include department overview and position overview prose.

Could include both required and preferred under same list, but maybe better to have Qualifications (required) and then another heading Preferred Qualifications? The instruction list includes Qualifications and Skills headings; not Preferred Qualifications. We could put preferred under Qualifications as well, but maybe better to have a separate heading "Preferred Qualifications" not in allowed list; but we could still use
for it? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use for section headings (e.g ...)". It implies we should use those headings for sections; but we could also add other headings if needed?
