FinanceFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? Actually the posting includes intro paragraphs about company, then "We are looking for a Chief Financial Officer..." then responsibilities list, then "We Are Looking For Someone Who Has ..." which is qualifications/requirements, then benefits section "Thriving together: Your OFD Total Rewards and Benefits:" with bullet list. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, drug screen, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Keep all substantive info. We need sections: maybe "About the role" (intro about CFO responsibilities), "Responsibilities" (list of duties), "Requirements" or "Qualifications" (list of qualifications), "Benefits" (list of benefits). Possibly also "Skills"? But we can combine. We must not create sections with filler like "Pay" or "Schedule" if not present. No pay/schedule info. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. Let's extract content. Intro paragraph: "Are you ready for your next adventure? At Oregon Freeze Dry, innovation isn’t just a buzzword, it’s our foundation. We are a purpose-driven company with six decades of expertise in freeze-drying technology. Best known as the makers of Mountain House © meals, we are experts in advanced lyophilization solutions that can help people live healthier lives. Our headquarters in Albany, Oregon sits at the crossroads of science and nature, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes that fuel bold ideas and transformative breakthroughs. We're driven by a commitment to quality, creativity, and continuous improvement, and we're always looking ahead to what's next. We’re proud of our legacy, but our future is even more exciting. If you're passionate and ready to make an impact, Oregon Freeze Dry isn't just a place to work, it's where your adventure begins." Then: "We are looking for a Chief Financial Officer to join the Executive team at OFD. The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is a strategic member of the executive leadership team, responsible for leading the company’s financial strategy, financial operations, and enterprise risk management. The CFO partners with senior leaders to translate business strategy into financial plans, strengthen profitable growth, improve cash flow and working capital, and guide investment decisions across a multi-site food and nutraceutical manufacturing organization with operations in Oregon and New York. This role provides strategic leadership for the Finance & Accounting organization, building a high-performing team that delivers accurate financial information, actionable business insights, and trusted business partnership across the company." Then list of responsibilities starting with "You Will Get To" then bullet-like sentences each starting with a verb. Let's capture each: - Partner with the executive leadership team to develop and execute the company's strategic and financial priorities, ensuring alignment between business objectives, resource allocation, and long-term growth. - Provide financial leadership and strategic perspective to the CEO, executive leadership team, and Board, helping guide key business decisions, investments, and growth initiatives. - Lead the company's annual operating plan, long-range planning process, forecasting activities, and performance review cadence, ensuring accountability for financial and operational results. - Drive profitable growth by evaluating business opportunities, pricing strategies, customer and product profitability, capital investments, and strategic initiatives. - Partner with Operations and Supply Chain leadership to improve profitability, cash flow, productivity, inventory performance, asset utilization, and overall business performance across both manufacturing facilities. - Provide executive leadership for the Finance & Accounting organization, building a high-performing team of strategic business partners who deliver the financial capabilities, discipline, and insights necessary to achieve organizational objectives. - Lead cash flow, working capital, treasury, and capital allocation strategies to optimize liquidity, support growth, and maximize return on investment. - Evaluate and prioritize capital investments, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and other growth opportunities, providing financial analysis and recommendations to executive leadership. - Ensure the company maintains strong financial governance, internal controls, and risk management practices that protect company assets and support sustainable business performance. - Develop and maintain relationships with banking partners, auditors, insurance providers, tax advisors, and other external financial partners. - Champion data-driven decision-making by leveraging financial and operational information, reporting capabilities, and business systems to improve visibility and business performance. - Build financial acumen throughout the organization by helping leaders understand business results, key performance drivers, and the financial impact of operational decisions. - Embody OFD’s cultural values and aligns daily actions with department and company culture. Then a subheading "Leadership" with bullet points about leadership competencies. Those could be part of Requirements or maybe separate "Leadership" section but we can incorporate into Requirements or Qualifications. However we need to decide sections. After that: "We Are Looking For Someone Who Has Generally, a minimum of eighteen years (18) of progressive finance and accounting experience in with a bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance or related field. CPA, CMA or MPA highly preferred. Generally, a minimum of twelve (12) years of experience leading and managing teams. Food manufacturing, consumer packaged goods (CPG), or other complex manufacturing industry experience required. Proven ability to build strategic business partnerships across the organization and within the executive leadership team. Experience leading finance and accounting functions in a multi-site manufacturing environment. Proven ability to improve EBITDA, cash flow, working capital, and overall business performance. Strong business and financial acumen with the ability to align financial strategy with organizational goals. Deep knowledge of manufacturing finance, including cost accounting, inventory management, profitability analysis, capital investments, and operational performance drivers.

Demonstrated success leading, developing, and building high-performing teams. Strong communication, relationship-building, and influencing skills with the ability to partner effectively across all levels of the organization. Experience leveraging ERP systems, business intelligence tools, and data analytics to support business decision-making." Then benefits section: "Thriving together: Your OFD Total Rewards and Benefits: At Oregon Freeze Dry, we believe that our employees are the key to our success. That’s why we offer a competitive total rewards package aimed at supporting the health, financial security, and overall wellbeing of you and your family." Then bullet list: - Customize your healthcare coverage: including medical, dental, and vision options to fit your needs. - Boost your savings: Choose an FSA or HSA for extra flexibility. - Plan for your future: enroll into our 401(k) with employer match and immediate vesting. - Peace of mind: Life and disability insurance to keep you and your loved ones protected. - Furry friends: Pet insurance for your four-legged family members. - Recharge & Refresh: Enjoy paid company holidays, PTO and sick time - Give back: join us in making a difference with community support opportunities. - Score savings: Unlock exclusive employee discounts and special savings on Mountain House product. - Spread the word: Earn bonuses for referring awesome new team members. Then EEO boilerplate etc to remove. Thus sections: maybe "About the role" (intro + CFO description), "Responsibilities" (list of duties), "Qualifications" (list of requirements), "Benefits" (list). Could also include "Leadership" as part of Qualifications but we can keep separate if we want but risk thin section. Better to incorporate leadership bullets into Qualifications. We must not create sections with filler. So we will have four sections. Now produce HTML:

    About the role

    ... intro paragraphs ...

    But we need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. The intro includes mention of CFO; that's fine. We need to preserve all substantive info. So include the intro paragraphs exactly as given (maybe minor punctuation). We'll combine the first two paragraphs (adventure intro and CFO description) into one

    maybe split into multiple

    for readability but it's okay. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all sentences. Let's craft:
