Assistant Director, Accounting and Finance
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The posting includes responsibilities, qualifications, maybe skills. No explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should include sections for Responsibilities, Qualifications, maybe Skills (derived from qualifications? but we should only include if posting has real specific content for that heading). The posting includes "Qualifications" heading with bullet-like list. Also "Responsibilities" heading. There's also mention of "Knowledge of ...", "Advanced skill level in Microsoft Excel..." which could be considered Skills. But we need to decide: Should we create a Skills section? The posting includes skill-related content under Qualifications. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine qualifications and skills into one Qualifications section. But we have a Qualifications heading already present. We could keep Qualifications as is, and not create separate Skills unless there is distinct skill content separate from qualifications. The posting includes "Advanced skill level in Microsoft Excel, Word, Accounting, Financial and Budgeting Software" etc. That's skill. Could be part of Qualifications. So we will have sections: Responsibilities, Qualifications. Possibly also "About the role"? The posting does not have an explicit "About the role" paragraph; it starts with Requisition # etc. There's no generic description. So we should not create About the role if no content. Similarly Benefits, Pay, Schedule omitted.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to convert the responsibilities paragraph into - items? The responsibilities are a long paragraph with many sentences separated by periods. We should split into list items each duty. Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to parse responsibilities into bullet points.
Similarly qualifications: list of items.
We must not repeat job title as heading (not present). No Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can include them in a short
or drop. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short
with Requisition #: 7526 etc maybe. But we could drop it. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; requisition # maybe not substantive? It's metadata. Could drop. Safer to include a short
with that info.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present.
Thus output HTML fragment:
Requisition #: 7526 | Employment Type: Full time | Position Status: Permanent | Category: Non-Bargaining | Workplace Arrangement: Hybrid | Fund: 1199SEIU National Benefit Fund | Job Classification: Exempt
Then Responsibilities
...
Then Qualifications

We need to ensure we don't create empty sections.
Now parse responsibilities:
Original responsibilities text:
