We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit 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 posting actually states them. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro about St. John's University: description, campuses, rankings, programs, accreditation, mission, etc. This is "About the role"? Actually it's about the university, not the role. The instruction: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can have sections like About the role (maybe describing the role), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections have real content.
From posting:
- Job Summary: description of role. That could be "About the role". It includes: "The Associate Provost for Strategic Planning and Academic Budget Planning serves as the senior operational leader for the academic budget planning division within OASPA and the primary deputy to the Vice Provost for academic budget planning. This position is accountable for the performance, consistency, quality, and strategic direction of academic budget planning across all assigned academic portfolios. The Associate Provost sets division-wide planning standards, supervises Assistant Provosts, reviews portfolio-level recommendations, resolves cross-portfolio issues, and ensures that academic budget planning is integrated with assessment, accreditation, grants, faculty planning, enrollment-informed analysis, program review, and strategic resource allocation. This role may also manage the most complex academic portfolios directly, as assigned, and acts on behalf of the Vice Provost in institutional planning discussions when delegated. The Associate Provost ensures that school-level budget plans reflect institutional strategy, financial discipline, academic priorities, and long-term sustainability."
That's substantive.
- Job Responsibilities: bullet points under headings: Division Leadership and Strategic Direction, Assistant Provost Supervision and Development, Direct Portfolio Management, Integrated Planning. Each has sub-bullets.
We can treat "Responsibilities" as a section with a - list of responsibilities. Could also break into sub-sections but instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can combine all responsibilities into one list.
- Competencies, Education, Experience: "Required Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". This could be split into Requirements and Qualifications sections. The instruction lists Requirements and Qualifications as separate possible headings. We need to decide what goes where.
"Required Qualifications": Master's degree required; doctoral degree strongly preferred. Minimum of 10 years of progressively responsible experience in academic budget planning, institutional finance, academic administration, or related higher education work. At least 5 years of experience in a senior leadership, supervisory, or portfolio management role. Demonstrated expertise in academic budget planning, multi-year modeling, faculty workforce planning, salary planning, resource allocation, and program financial analysis. Experience advising Provosts, Vice Provosts, Deans, or senior academic leaders. Demonstrated ability to lead professional staff, exercise independent judgment, and manage complex financial decisions. Strong executive communication, analytical, strategic planning, and relationship-building skills.
"Preferred Qualifications": Doctoral degree in a relevant field. Experience in a Provost’s Office, Academic Affairs, or central university planning environment. Experience with Banner, Argos, Weave, FLAC, and academic financial reporting systems. Experience integrating budget planning with assessment, accreditation, grants, and program review.
Thus we can have a "Requirements" section for required qualifications, and a "Qualifications" section for preferred qualifications (or maybe "Skills" for skills). The instruction includes Skills as a possible heading. Could put skills under Skills.
But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. The posting includes: "St. John’s offers a competitive compensation program which is commensurate with your qualifications, experience, and contingent upon the departmental budget." That's filler; we should not create a Pay section because it's not specific. Also "We also offer an extremely comprehensive benefits program..." then lists benefits: medical, dental, life insurance, long term disability insurance, tuition remission, generous 403(b) employer contribution, employee assistance program, and liberal paid time off policies, faculty and staff can also enjoy St. John’s performing arts, libraries, bookstores, dining facilities, campus recreation and sporting events. That's specific benefits; we can create a Benefits section with a list.
Also "Any offer of employment is subject to receipt by St. John’s University of satisfactory references, verification of employment and education." That's boilerplate; we can drop.
"St. John’s University is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." drop.
"St. John’s is NOT an E-Verify Employer" maybe minor metadata; we can fold into a short p or drop. Probably drop as it's not substantive.
Thus sections:
- About the role (Job Summary)
- Responsibilities (list of duties)
- Requirements (Required Qualifications)
- Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications) OR Skills (maybe combine preferred qualifications and skills). But we have both required and preferred qualifications; we could have Requirements (required) and Qualifications (preferred). Or we could have Requirements (required) and Skills (preferred). The instruction includes Skills as a possible heading; we could put preferred qualifications under Skills. However "Skills" might be more about abilities; but preferred qualifications include experience, education, systems experience. Could be considered qualifications. I'd go with Requirements and Qualifications.
- Benefits (list)
We should not create Pay or Schedule sections because no specific pay or schedule info.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
We need to use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
Thus:

Then Responsibilities
- Division Leadership and Strategic Direction: ...
... etc.
But we need to preserve all substantive information; we should not lose details. The responsibilities have sub-bullets; we could embed them as part of the li text, maybe using semicolons. Or we could nest inside - but instruction says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid nested lists, but to keep simple we can include details in the li.
We need to ensure we don't miss any responsibilities.
Let's extract responsibilities text:
Division Leadership and Strategic Direction
- Set the strategic direction, standards, timelines, and expectations for academic budget planning across the division.
- Translate Vice Provost priorities into operating direction for Assistant Provosts and portfolio teams.
- Ensure consistency, analytical rigor, and strategic alignment across academic budget planning portfolios.
- Monitor cross-portfolio financial trends, risks, structural issues, and resource opportunities.
- Resolve escalated portfolio issues and determine which matters require Vice Provost review.
- Serve as the primary academic budget planning liaison to the Associate Provosts for Academic Assessment and Accreditation and Grants and Sponsored Research.
Assistant Provost Supervision and Development
- Supervise, mentor, and evaluate Assistant Provosts responsible for assigned school and college portfolios.
- Review significant portfolio recommendations, budget decisions, and financial analyses before escalation or presentation to senior leadership.
- Build Assistant Provost capacity for independent judgment, Dean-level advising, and increasingly complex portfolio leadership.
- Lead cross-portfolio training and knowledge development to ensure consistency, continuity, and institutional fluency across the team.
Direct Portfolio Management
- Manage budget planning for assigned complex portfolios, including annual budget development, multi-year financial projections, position planning, salary planning, and strategic resource analysis.
- Serve as the primary financial planning partner to assigned Deans for complex or high-risk portfolios.
- Conduct program-level financial analyses, P&L/ROI assessments, pro forma modeling, and scenario analyses.
- Identify risks, structural deficits, staffing concerns, enrollment exposure, and resource opportunities requiring Vice Provost or Provost-level attention.
Integrated Planning
- Ensure budget plans incorporate relevant assessment findings, accreditation requirements, grant activity, faculty capacity, restricted fund availability, and strategic priorities.
- Set standards for how assessment, accreditation, and grants-related information should inform financial planning.
- Oversee financial dimensions of accreditation, grant-funded commitments, cost-share planning, and program review across portfolios.
- Ensure academic budget planning supports institutional accountability, financial sustainability, and academic quality.
We'll turn each bullet into an

Now Required Qualifications:
- Master’s degree required; doctoral degree strongly preferred.
- Minimum of 10 years of progressively responsible experience in academic budget planning, institutional finance, academic administration, or related higher education work.
- At least 5 years of experience in a senior leadership, supervisory, or portfolio management role.

- Experience in a Provost’s Office, Academic Affairs, or central university planning environment.
- Experience with Banner, Argos, Weave, FLAC, and academic financial reporting systems.
- Experience integrating budget planning with assessment, accreditation, grants, and program review.
We could put required under Requirements, preferred under Qualifications.
Now Benefits:
List: medical, dental, life insurance, long term disability insurance, tuition remission, generous 403(b) employer contribution, employee assistance program, liberal paid time off policies, faculty and staff can also enjoy St. John’s performing arts, libraries, bookstores, dining facilities, campus recreation and sporting events.
We need to preserve all substantive info; we can make a list.
Now we need to exclude boilerplate: "St. John’s offers a competitive compensation program which is commensurate with your qualifications, experience, and contingent upon the departmental budget." That's vague; we should not create Pay section. Also "St. John’s is NOT an E-Verify Employer" maybe minor metadata; we can drop or fold into short p. Probably drop.
Also "Any offer of employment is subject to receipt by St. John’s University of satisfactory references, verification of employment and education." drop.
Also EEO statement drop.
Now we need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines.
