CAP Financial Aid Project Manager
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, privacy policy, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Remove "Success Academy offers a full benefits program and opportunities for professional growth." appears twice; we keep one.
We need to include the mission description? The posting includes a lot of introductory text about Success Academy mission etc. Should we include that? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The sections we output are limited to headings we choose. But we could include a general introductory paragraph before sections? The instruction says output ONLY the HTML fragment, no /. It didn't forbid having a leading
before sections. However they said "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should structure with those headings. Probably we should include an introductory paragraph about the organization? The posting includes a lot of fluff about mission etc. That is substantive. Should we include it? The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine mission into an "About Success Academy" section? But they didn't list that as a possible heading; they gave examples but not exclusive. They said "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. We could add an "About Success Academy" section if there is content. The posting includes a paragraph about mission, growth, etc. That is substantive. So we could include a section "About Success Academy". However they said "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". That's fine.
Thus we can have sections: About Success Academy, About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". The compensation line includes "Exact Compensation May Vary Based On Skills And Experience." That's somewhat filler but it's actual content; we can keep it as part of Pay section. The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". The phrase "Exact Compensation May Vary Based On Skills And Experience." is similar to "varies". Might be considered filler. However they also gave explicit compensation range. We could include Pay section with the range and maybe note that exact compensation may vary based on skills and experience. That's not purely filler; it's a qualifier. I'd keep it.
Now we need to extract responsibilities list: Under "Key Responsibilities" there are bullet points with subheadings: Scholar & Family Financial Aid Guidance, Award Analysis..., Operational Execution..., School Partnership..., AI‑Enabled Workflow... Each has multiple sentences. We need to turn each bullet into
- . Should we keep the subheadings as part of li text? Probably yes: include the heading as part of the li content.
We need to preserve all substantive information: So each responsibility paragraph should be included.
Qualifications: list of bullet points after "Qualifications". We need to turn each line into
- . The qualifications include many sentences separated by periods. We'll split at each period that starts a new bullet? Actually the text: "Bachelor’s degree required.3–5 years of experience...". There's missing space after period. We'll treat each sentence as a bullet. We'll need to parse.
Let's extract qualifications sentences:
- Bachelor’s degree required.
- 3–5 years of experience in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment involving complex case management, family or client support, advising, operations, or other deadline-driven work.
- Direct experience in financial aid, college access, college advising, student services, or a related field is preferred.
- Knowledge of FAFSA, TAP, CSS Profile, verification, institutional financial aid requirements, scholarships, loans, and financial aid appeals is strongly preferred.
- Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret complex information, identify discrepancies and risks, and determine appropriate next steps.
- Demonstrated ability to manage a high-volume caseload or workflow, maintain persistent follow-through, and meet non-negotiable deadlines.
- Strong communication and relationship-management skills, with the ability to explain complex and sensitive information clearly and confidently.
- Resourceful problem solver who can navigate ambiguity, resolve issues, and advocate professionally with external organizations.
- Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams and maintain complete and accurate records.
- Proficiency using digital platforms, dashboards, and AI-enabled tools to manage workflows, monitor progress, and strengthen accuracy and efficiency.
- Ability to deliver lessons, facilitate workshops, and provide classroom or scholar-facing coverage with clarity and confidence.
- Maturity, discretion, and sound judgment when handling confidential information and high-stakes family decisions.
- Self-starter with a strong bias toward action who thrives in fast-paced, high-expectation environments.
- Mission-driven, with a commitment to expanding college access and supporting financially sustainable college outcomes.
We'll make each a
- .
Benefits: "Success Academy offers a full benefits program and opportunities for professional growth." Also maybe other benefits not mentioned. We'll just include that.
Pay: "Exact Compensation May Vary Based On Skills And Experience. Compensation Range $70,000 - $80,000 USD". We'll make a
with both sentences.
Now About Success Academy: We need to extract the introductory paragraph before "About The Role". The posting starts: "Thanks for your interest in Success Academy! Running a large, fast-growing, and high-performing network of public charter schools takes a village - families, children, teachers, staff and faculty, advocates, and supporters alike. We are growing fast in New York and expanding to Florida, and we would love to welcome you to our community! We work tirelessly every day to ensure children have access to a fun, rigorous, whole-child education regardless of zip code or economic status. When you join SA, you play a part in giving every student who walks through our doors a fair shot at reaching his or her potential. About Success Academy The mission of Success Academy is to reimagine public education. From the classroom to the halls of government, this means finding profoundly different approaches to how we structure, implement and support learning. We re-conceive every aspect of school design, from writing rigorous new curricula to drawing regularly on the advances in technology and business that are transforming every sector except education. Over the past decade, Success Academy has grown faster than any charter network in the nation, building a vibrant network of 59 elementary, middle and high schools. Our over 20,000 children – mostly poor and minority – are out-performing students at top city and suburban schools across New York State. Within the next decade, our goals are even more ambitious, bringing transformational change here and across the country. Within this mission, the College Access & Preparedness (CAP) team ensures that every scholar is not only admitted and attends the best fit, most affordable, 4-year college/university, but will thrive in their new environment. For the past eight years, Success Academy has achieved 100% college acceptance to four-year institutions, with 75% of our graduates accepted to Selective colleges and Highly Selective colleges. As we rapidly scale to serve more high schools and graduating classes, CAP must operate within disciplined execution, strong data systems, and AI-enabled processes that ensure accuracy, efficiency, and visibility across all areas of work. Within our College Access & Preparedness Program, we are hiring a Financial Aid Manager to serve as the primary point of contact for scholars and families across all aspects of financial aid, college financing, and affordability. The Financial Aid Manager guides families through the full process, ensures colleges and other external entities receive complete and accurate information, and helps each scholar understand their options and make an informed, financially sustainable college choice."
We need to decide what to include in About Success Academy section. Could include the mission description etc. But we also have "About The Role" later. To avoid duplication, we could put the introductory fluff (Thanks for your interest...) in a generic intro
before sections, not as a heading. Then have About Success Academy heading with mission etc. Then About The Role heading with role description.
Let's extract About Success Academy content: Starting after "About Success Academy". The text: "The mission of Success Academy is to reimagine public education. From the classroom to the halls of government, this means finding profoundly different approaches to how we structure, implement and support learning. We re-conceive every aspect of school design, from writing rigorous new curricula to drawing regularly on the advances in technology and business that are transforming every sector except education.

That seems like a mix of mission and intro to the role. Might be better to split: About Success Academy: mission, growth, stats. About The Role: description of Financial Aid Manager.
Thus we can separate: About Success Academy: up to "Within the next decade, our goals are even more ambitious, bringing transformational change here and across the country." Then About The Role: starting with "Within this mission, the College Access & Preparedness (CAP) team ensures..." Actually that sentence is about CAP team; could be part of About Success Academy or About the Role. But we can keep it in About Success Academy as it describes CAP team. Then About The Role: starting with "Within our College Access & Preparedness Program, we are hiring a Financial Aid Manager..." That seems appropriate.
Let's craft:
About Success Academy section: include mission, growth, stats, goals, CAP team description.
About The Role section: include hiring Financial Aid Manager description.
