Assistant Director of Development
- . Requirements: maybe Qualifications and Attributes plus Education and Experience. Could combine into Requirements? But we have separate Qualifications and Skills sections. The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. About the role: overview paragraph (the OVERVIEW OF PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES section). That's a prose. Responsibilities: list of duties from PRIMARY FUNCTIONS. Could break into categories but we can just list each bullet as
- . We'll need to extract each sentence or bullet. The text includes many sentences; we can treat each sentence as a list item.
Requirements: maybe the qualifications and attributes? But we also have Qualifications and Skills separate. The instruction says we can have both Qualifications and Skills sections. So we could put Qualifications: education and experience (Bachelor's degree, 3-5+ years experience). Skills: relationship-building, communication, organized, etc. Also proficiency in MS Office, donor database, willingness to travel.
Thus:
- About the role: overview paragraph.
- Responsibilities: list from PRIMARY FUNCTIONS.
- Qualifications: Education and Experience (Bachelor's Degree required, Minimum 3-5+ years of experience and proven results of leading Sales and/or Donor Relations in a not for profit environment.)
- Skills: list of attributes: Strong relationship-building and interpersonal skills..., Passion..., Excellent verbal..., Highly organized..., Self-motivated..., Ability to maintain professionalism..., Proficiency in Microsoft Office..., Willingness to travel...
- Pay: Salary Range.
- Schedule: Hours and flexibility.
We should not include Physical Characteristics (maybe not needed). Also we should not repeat job title. No metadata like Location? Could include location in About the role? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Location is minor metadata; we could include it in About the role paragraph or a short p. Probably include location in About the role as a sentence. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting. Let's extract. Location: Middletown, NY Salary Range: $62,500 - $67,500 annually; based on relevant experience. Hours: Full-time position (40 hours per week), Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM–5:00 PM. Flexibility is required to accommodate business and operational needs.

Physical Characteristics: we can drop as not needed for sections; but we must preserve all substantive information. If we drop it, we lose info. However we could include it as a short p under maybe a section like "Additional Information". But the instruction says we should only include sections when posting has real specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Physical Characteristics is substantive but not a standard heading. We could incorporate it into a short paragraph under About the role or maybe a separate section like "Physical Requirements". But the allowed headings list does not include Physical Characteristics. We could fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. This is not minor metadata; it's substantive. But we could include it as a
without a heading? The instruction: Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. It didn't forbid extra paragraphs without headings. It said use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can have paragraphs (
) for prose that are not under a heading? It says use
for prose. Likely we should wrap prose in
. For sections we use
then content (which can be
or
- ). So we can have a
- Support the execution of comprehensive fundraising strategies to meet annual revenue goals and strengthen donor engagement throughout the Hudson Valley region.
- Identify, cultivate, solicit, and steward
for location and maybe physical characteristics as a
under a generic heading? But we shouldn't create a heading not in list unless needed. Could we add a heading "Physical Characteristics"? Not in the list but maybe acceptable? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The e.g. suggests those are examples, not exhaustive? It says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies those are the expected headings. It also says "Include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So we could add a heading for Physical Characteristics if the posting has real content. It does. But the instruction's examples didn't list it, but it didn't forbid other headings. However to be safe, we could fold physical characteristics into a
under About the role or maybe under Requirements? But it's not really a requirement. Could add a short
after the sections without a heading? The instruction says use
for prose. It didn't say all prose must be under a heading. So we can have a
for location and physical characteristics at the end. Thus final HTML:
