Assistant Director of Financial Operations and Reporting
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. We have content: About the University (description). About the College/Unit/Department? There's a line "College/Unit/Department website" but no content. So maybe skip that. We have "About the University of Georgia" which is a description; could be under "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is generic; but we have "About the University". Could treat as "About the University". But the instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect those standard headings. We can map content: "About the University" could be under "About the role"? Not ideal but maybe we can put under "About the role". However we have a separate "Position Summary" which is like role description. Could put that under "About the role". The "About the University" is more about employer; could be omitted? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; cannot drop. So we need to include it somewhere. Could create a heading "About the University" as . The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). It doesn't forbid other headings, just gives examples. So we can use About the University as heading.
We need sections: About the University, About the College/Unit/Department? There's minimal content; maybe skip. Position Summary (could be under About the role). Responsibilities: we have Duties/Responsibilities with percentages. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Summary? There's "Preferred Summary Preferred Qualifications". Actually there is a line "Preferred Summary Preferred Qualifications". Might be a heading. We'll extract Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications.

Benefits: We have Employment Type Employee Benefits Eligibility Benefits Eligible Full/Part time Full Time Work Schedule Additional Schedule Information Typically, Monday through Friday 8:00 am – 5:00 pm Advertised Salary $80,000 + commensurate with experience. Also Retirement Plan TRS or ORP. So we have benefits, pay, schedule. Pay: Advertised Salary $80,000 + commensurate with experience. Since "commensurate with experience" is placeholder, we should not include Pay section if it's only that? The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Here we have "$80,000 + commensurate with experience". That includes a specific number plus placeholder. Is that considered filler? The phrase includes a specific number, but also placeholder. Might be okay to include Pay with the specific number? The instruction says never create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does state a salary: $80,000 + commensurate with experience. So we can include Pay with that text. However we should avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" alone; but it's accompanied by a number. I'd include it.
Schedule: Typically, Monday through Friday 8:00 am – 5:00 pm. That's specific, so include Schedule.
Benefits: Retirement Plan TRS or ORP, Benefits Eligible Full/Part time Full Time. Also maybe other benefits not listed. So we can include Benefits.

- Preferred Qualifications: The text "Preferred Summary Preferred Qualifications" seems like a heading but no details? Actually after that line there is no explicit list; maybe it's missing. We'll see if there is any preferred qualifications listed later. I don't see any. So we might skip Preferred Qualifications if no content.
- Skills/Knowledge: Knowledge, Skills, Abilities And/or Competencies list: Thorough knowledge of principles and practices pertaining to UGA policies, procedures, and college operations.; High level of technical skills and aptitude, especially with University systems and Excel.; Extensive knowledge of university budget and accounting rules.; Skilled in process design & development.; Strong leadership & communication skills.; High commitment to Customer Service and continuous Improvement.
