We need to ensure we didn't repeat any content unnecessarily. Some items duplicated like "understanding of compliance..." appears both in Responsibilities and Skills; but we must preserve all substantive info, not remove. It's okay if duplicated.
Check for any boilerplate: "Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions." That's a statement about accommodations; it's substantive? It's a standard EEO statement; but instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should remove that line. Also "This job description is not intended to be all-inclusive; employees will perform other reasonably related business duties as assigned by the CFO or VP of CPSST as required." That's also boilerplate; remove. Also "To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill, and/or ability required." That's generic; maybe remove as boilerplate. Also "Maintains utmost level of confidentiality at all times." etc are specific duties, keep.
We need to scrub those lines.
