Associate Director, Research Advisory Services (Advancement & Financial Sustainability)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About EAB" then "The Role In Brief" then details. We need to use

for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include sections that have real specific content. We need to extract content: - About the role: The "The Role In Brief" paragraph describes role. Could be "About the role". We'll put that content. - Responsibilities: The "Primary Responsibilities" section with bullet-like paragraphs. We'll need to turn each bullet into

• . The text includes multiple paragraphs each starting with a bold heading? Actually they have headings like "Terrain Mastery:", "Content Delivery and Facilitation:", "Customer Success and Commercial Support:", "Research Collaboration:". We'll treat each as a list item with maybe subpoints? The instruction: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can create a
    with each responsibility as
    • . Inside each
    • we can keep the prose. - Requirements: Basic Qualifications section. We'll list each bullet as
    • . The text includes multiple sentences separated by semicolons? Actually it's a paragraph with items separated by semicolons. We'll split into list items: Bachelor's degree..., Experience working..., Superior verbal..., Ability to create..., Excellent relationship building... We'll treat each as
    • . - Qualifications: Ideal Qualifications section. We'll list each bullet similarly. - Skills: Not explicitly separate; maybe we can combine with Requirements? But we could create a Skills section if there is explicit skill list. The posting includes "Superior verbal, written, facilitation, and presentation skills", "Ability to create a compelling narrative through data visualization, graphics, and slides", "Excellent relationship building and collaboration skills". Those are skills. Could put them under Skills. But we already have Requirements. Might be okay to not create Skills if we think it's covered. However instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But they ask to use headings for those categories. We'll include Requirements and Qualifications separate. - Benefits: The Benefits section lists many items. We'll create
      • for each benefit. - Pay: The Compensation section gives salary range. We'll create Pay section with that content. - Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly; there is travel requirement (40-50% travel) and 80% time in market. That's not schedule like hours. Could we treat as Schedule? Probably not; schedule refers to work hours, shift, etc. Not present. So we omit Schedule. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, visa sponsorship, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, etc. Also remove "If you've reached this section..." encouragement. Also remove "This opening is not eligible for visa sponsorship..." etc. Also remove "At EAB, we believe..." EEO paragraph. Also remove "See how we've been recognized..." etc. Also remove "For more information, visit our Careers page." etc. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we keep the role description, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, compensation. We must not repeat job title as heading. The page already shows it, so we don't add

        for Associate Director... We'll just start with sections. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's craft:

        Pay

        The anticipated starting salary (base) range for this role is $70,500 - $95,000 per year. Actual salary varies due to factors that may include but not be limited to relevant experience, skills, and location. At EAB, it is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the starting salary range for their role. This hire will additionally be eligible for discretionary bonus or incentive compensation. Variable compensation may depend on various factors, such as individual and organizational performance.

        We should not include Schedule. Check for any leftover boilerplate: We removed EEO, visa sponsorship, etc. Also removed "If you've reached this section..." encouragement. Also removed "See how we've been recognized..." etc. Also removed "For more information, visit our Careers page." Also removed "At EAB, we serve not only our partner institutions but each other-that's why we are always working to make sure our employees love their jobs and are invested in their communities." That's part of About EAB but maybe considered boilerplate? It's about mission and culture; could be considered substantive? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "At EAB, we serve not only our partner institutions but each other..." is more about culture; could be considered part of About EAB but maybe not essential to role. However we already have About the role section focusing on role description; we could include a brief About EAB paragraph if we want, but we already have About the role section with role description. The "About EAB" paragraph at start is generic mission; could be considered boilerplate? It's not legal/EEO but it's generic mission. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The mission statement might be considered substantive? It's about the company. However the section headings we are to use are limited; we could include an "About EAB" section but not in the list of allowed headings? The allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not add other headings. So we incorporate relevant info into About the role maybe. The About EAB mission could be included in About the role paragraph? But the role description already includes some context. We could add a sentence about EAB's mission in About the role. However we must not invent. We can include the mission statement as part of About the role paragraph. Let's incorporate: "At EAB, our mission is to make education smarter and our communities stronger. We work with more than 2,800 institutions to drive transformative change through data-driven insights and best-in-class capabilities." That is from the About EAB paragraph. That seems substantive and not boilerplate. So we can include that in About the role paragraph. Thus About the role paragraph will combine the mission statement and the role brief. Let's craft About the role paragraph:

        At EAB, our mission is to make education smarter and our communities stronger. We work with more than 2,80
