We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. First, we have a description: NYC Department of Finance (DOF) ... The Property Modeling and Research Group (PMR) develop models... The Property Division is seeking a highly motivated and organized individual to serve as the Deputy Director of Data Modernization & Exemption Analytics within the Division's Property Modeling and Research Group. The selected candidate will serve as the primary technical resource for SCHE, DHE, and SCRIE/DRIE exemption analysis; maintain and enhance computer programs and data models; support the development of analytical tools and internal data products; provide technical guidance to staff and work closely with management. That's about the role. So we can have

About the role

with a paragraph summarizing that. Responsibilities: listed after "Responsibilities Reporting to the Senior Director..." bullet list. We need to extract each duty as
  • . Let's list them: - Serve as technical lead for SCHE, DHE, and SCRIE/DRIE exemption analysis, responsible for data validation, analytical review, and output quality. - Supervise and mentor direct reports through code reviews, model validation, and technical coaching to promote best practices. - Manage and enhance modeling workflows for office and industrial properties, including methodology development, testing, and performance monitoring. - Contribute to the design, development, and maintenance of analytical tools and internal data products, including dashboards, web applications, internal packages, reusable helper functions, and standardized metrics. - Support the improvement of analytical workflows by helping transition selected processes to open-source, reproducible, and version-controlled environments. - Advance assessment operational projects through analytical expertise, ensuring accuracy and usability. - Prepare technical documentation and explanatory materials to support transparency, reproducibility, and internal knowledge sharing. That's responsibilities. Additional Information: includes compliance with federal law, remote work eligibility up to 2 days per week, etc. That could be part of Benefits? Actually remote work is a benefit. Also there is mention of Public Service Loan Forgiveness, Residency Requirement, etc. Those are additional info but not necessarily benefits. The instruction: include Benefits section only if posting actually states them. There's mention of remote work eligibility, Public Service Loan Forgiveness, maybe also salary range at end: "$109,565.00 – $126,000.00". That's Pay. So we need Pay section. We also have Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Skills sections. We need Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The posting has "Minimum Qualifications For Assignment Level I (only physical, biological and environmental sciences and public health)" then details. Then "Preferred Skills" list. We need to decide what goes where. Likely Requirements = Minimum Qualifications? Qualifications maybe also? But we can't duplicate. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which content maps to which heading. We have: - About the role: description. - Responsibilities: bullet list. - Requirements: maybe the minimum qualifications? Or maybe "Minimum Qualifications" is Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe the "Preferred Skills"? Actually Preferred Skills is more like Skills. But we also have a separate Skills heading. Could map Minimum Qualifications to Requirements, Preferred Skills to Skills, and maybe Qualifications could be something else like education/experience? But we have no separate qualifications besides those. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications? But we need to avoid empty sections. We could put Minimum Qualifications under Requirements, and Preferred Skills under Skills. Then Qualifications could be omitted if no specific content besides those? However we have also "Additional Information" about remote work, loan forgiveness, residency. Those could be Benefits? Benefits could include remote work eligibility, loan forgiveness, maybe residency? But residency is a requirement not benefit. The posting mentions "Public Service Loan Forgiveness As a prospective employee of the City of New York, you may be eligible for federal loan forgiveness programs and state repayment assistance programs." That's a benefit. Also remote work eligibility up to 2 days per week is a benefit. So we can have Benefits section with those. Pay: salary range. Schedule: maybe remote work schedule? But we already used remote work as benefit. Could also have schedule: maybe standard full-time? Not specified. The posting does not mention schedule besides remote work up to 2 days per week. Could we put schedule as "Hybrid remote work up to 2 days per week"? But that's more about benefit. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state remote work eligibility up to 2 days per week, which is a schedule aspect. Could treat as Schedule. However we also have Benefits for loan forgiveness. Might be better to put remote work under Schedule, and loan forgiveness under Benefits. Let's see. The posting: "This position may be eligible for remote work up to 2 days per week, pursuant to the Remote Work Pilot Program agreed between the City and the Collective Bargaining Unit representing employees serving in the civil service title." That's schedule/remote work. Thus we can have Schedule section with that. Benefits: Public Service Loan Forgiveness, maybe also mention of inclusive equal opportunity employer? That's boilerplate, should be removed. So Benefits: loan forgiveness. We also have residency requirement but that's not a benefit; it's a requirement. Could be under Requirements? But we already used Requirements for minimum qualifications. Could add residency requirement under Requirements as a bullet. But we need to avoid duplication and keep sections meaningful. Let's outline:

    About the role

    ...

    Responsibilities

    • ...

    Requirements

    Minimum qualifications: ... (master's degree etc.) plus residency requirement? Actually residency requirement is separate; we could include as a bullet.

    Qualifications

    Maybe we could put the "Minimum Qualifications For Assignment Level I" details under Qualifications, and Requirements under something else? Hmm. Better to follow typical job posting: Requirements = minimum qualifications; Qualifications = preferred qualifications; Skills = preferred skills. But we have both Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Skills. There's no separate "Preferred Qualifications". So we could map: - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (the detailed education/experience). - Qualifications: (maybe none) but we could skip if no content. But we need to avoid empty sections. Could we put the "Preferred Skills" under Qualifications? Then Skills could be something else? But we have no other skills. Alternatively, we could combine Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Skills into Requirements and Skills respectively, and omit Qualifications. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's 7 sections. Omit Qualifications. Thus: - About the role - Responsibilities - Requirements (minimum qualifications) - Skills (preferred skills) - Benefits (loan forgiveness) - Pay (salary range) - Schedule (remote work up to 2 days/week) We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Now extract content. About the role: combine the introductory paragraphs before Responsibilities. Let's craft a paragraph: "NYC Department of Finance (DOF) administers the city's tax revenue laws fairly, efficiently, and transparently to instill public confidence and encourage compliance while providing exceptional customer service. The Property Valuation and Tax Mapping division values over one million properties and oversees assessments to enable efficient property tax collection. Within this division, the Property Modeling and Research Group (PMR) develops models for an expanding range of tax classes using advanced statistical methods, geospatial analysis, and GIS mapping to enhance valuation accuracy and efficiency. The Division is seeking a highly motivated and organized individual to serve as the Deputy Director of Data Modernization & Exemption Analytics within PMR. The selected candidate will act as the primary technical resource for SCHE, DHE, and SCRIE/DRIE exemption analysis; maintain and enhance computer programs and data models; support the development of analytical tools and internal data products; and provide technical guidance to staff while working closely with management." That captures all. Now Responsibilities list as above. Now Requirements: Minimum Qualifications text. We need to preserve all substantive information. The Minimum Qualifications section is lengthy. Let's extract: "Minimum Qualifications For Assignment Level I (only physical, biological and environmental sciences and public health) A master's degree from an accredited college or university with a specialization in an appropriate field of physical, biological or environmental science or in public health. To be appointed to Assignment Level II and above, candidates must have: A doctorate degree from an accredited college or university with specialization in an appropriate field of physical, biological, environmental or social science and one year of full-time experience in a responsible supervisory, administrative or research capacity in the appropriate field of specialization; or A master's degree from an accredited college or university with specialization in an appropriate field of physical, biological, environmental or social science and three years of responsible full-time research experience in the appropriate field of specialization; or Education and/or experience which is equivalent to "1" or "2" above. However, all candidates must have at least a master's degree in an appropriate field of specialization and at least two years of experience described in "2" above. Two years as a City Research Scientist Level I can be substituted for the experience required in "1" and "2" above. Note Probationary Period Appointments to this position are subject to a minimum probationary period of one year." Also there is residency requirement: "New York City residency is generally required within 90 days of appointment. However, City Employees in certain titles who have worked for the City for 2 continuous years may also be eligible to reside in Nassau, Suffolk, Putnam, Westchester, Rockland, or Orange County. To determine if the residency requirement applies to you, please discuss with the agency representative at the time of interview." We could include residency requirement under Requirements as a note. Thus Requirements section could have paragraphs covering education/experience and residency. Now Skills: Preferred Skills list. Let's extract bullet points: - Advanced proficiency in R and Python for data analysis, modeling, and production-quality analytical systems. - Strong commitment to open-source, reproducible analytics, with experience using Git/GitHub for collaborative development and implementing test-driven development and analytical quality assurance practices. - Strong background in applied statistical modeling or data science in a policy context, with comfort experimenting with and evaluating new modeling approaches to improve analytical rigor, relevance, and impact. - Experience analyzing property and assessment data, including familiarity with valuation methods, parcel-level records, tax roll data, and regulatory, zoning, and geospatial factors that shape valuation outcomes. - Experience building and maintaining internal analytical packages (e.g., custom R packages), or shared libraries. - Experience deploying, monitoring, and maintaining web-based analytical applications (e.g. Dash) in production environments, including coordination with IT infrastructure and server environments. - Proficiency with SQL and relational databases experience integrating data from APIs and external data sources. - Ability to clearly communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and leadership. - Experience working with geospatial data and open-source tools (e.g., sf, geopandas). We need to keep them as
  • . Now Benefits: Public Service Loan Forgiveness. Text: "Public Service Loan Forgiveness As a prospective employee of the City of New York, you may be eligible for federal loan forgiveness programs and state repayment assistance programs. For more information, please visit the U.S. Department of Education’s website at https://studentaid.gov/pslf/." We can make a paragraph. Now Pay: salary range: "$109,565.00 – $126,000.00". We'll put in a paragraph. Now Schedule: remote work up to 2 days per week. Text: "This position may be eligible for remote work up to 2 days per week, purs
