We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The description includes POSITION SUMMARY, Essential Functions, Compensation, Benefits, Requirements (including QUALIFICATIONS, etc). We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

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

    for prose. Include only sections with real content. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions (Applications accepted through October 10) - that's application instruction, should be removed. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's parse content: POSITION SUMMARY paragraph: "As a key part of the YMCA’s overall efforts to enhance its resources, reputation, and relationships, the Corporate Relations Director serves a leading role in executing a high-performing, frontline, corporate gift fundraising program. Reporting to the Vice President for Advancement, this position will have a lead role in the development and implementation of a new corporate engagement plan and strategy for the YMCA to secure philanthropic support and value add from corporate partners. This position collaborates closely with Association leadership, the Board of Directors, and cross-functional teams to enhance corporate giving initiatives, support campaigns and signature events, and drive a culture of philanthropy across the Association. The Corporate Relations Director is also responsible for tracking performance metrics, forecasting revenue, managing budgets, and continuously identifying innovative opportunities to grow corporate partnerships and advance the YMCA’s impact." That's prose. Essential Functions: list of bullet-like sentences. We need to turn into

    • . Let's extract each bullet: - Promote and maintain a personal commitment to the mission of the YMCA - Work with the Vice President of Advancement on strategic planning and goal setting for Corporate Relations and the Office of Advancement. Corporate Relations includes fundraising support for the Y’s Golf Outing and Hour of Impact special events, as well as partnering with the Vice President of Advancement to create new and expansive corporate partner opportunities - Establish and execute strategies and solicitations to achieve annual and long-term objectives to expand corporate support to meet financial goals and Association priorities. - Work with the Vice President of Advancement to build and manage a corporate partner portfolio for this role capable of generating $1M+ annually in direct support - Regularly reports to the VPA on fundraising performance metrics, including gift forecasting. - Actively participates in the establishment of annual performance metrics and fosters a culture of accountability - Provide campaign support, related to corporate partners, to the President/CEO, Vice President of Advancement, colleagues, and the Board of Directors to foster an environment that promotes strategic coordination across all fundraising efforts - Meets regularly to review gift strategies and plans for corporate prospects assigned to colleagues across the Association. - Participate in the training and professional growth of colleagues related to corporate fundraising best practices - Assist in the adherence to the Advancement Departments annual budget by monitoring direct and indirect Corporate Relations budget expenditures - Continually enrich professional and philanthropic skills, including the understanding of tax laws related to corporate giving, by attending workshops, seminars, conferences, and through professional reading - Perform additional duties as assigned to ensure the success of the YMCA and its mission-driven work. We need to ensure no duplication. Compensation: "$75,000 - $90,000 ; Salary, Exempt". So we need a Pay section with that content. Use

      Pay

      then

      ... maybe include Salary, Exempt. Benefits: list of benefits. We'll create

      Benefits

      then
      • each. Requirements: includes QUALIFICATIONS etc. We'll create

        Requirements

        then maybe subheadings? But only allowed headings are those listed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use Requirements heading and inside we can have paragraphs and lists. The content includes Education, Experience, Proven Expertise (list of competencies), Certificates and Licenses, Work Environment and Physical Demands. We need to preserve all. We can format as

        for prose and

        • for lists. We must not create sections like About the role if not present; we have POSITION SUMMARY which could be About the role. So we can use

          About the role

          for the position summary. Responsibilities: Could map to Essential Functions. So we can have

          Responsibilities

          with list. Qualifications: Could be separate but we already have Requirements heading; but we could also have Qualifications heading for education/experience etc. However we must not create thin sections; we can combine. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we use About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (which includes qualifications, skills, certificates, work environment), Benefits, Pay. That's 5 sections. We must not include Schedule because not present. Now ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now produce HTML. Let's craft:
