Director, Financial Planning & Analysis
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Include a section only when posting has real, specific content. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to preserve all substantive info.
Let's parse the posting:
- About Braven (mission) - could be part of "About the role"? Actually "About Braven" is separate but could be considered "About the role"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content.
We have:
- About Braven (mission) - maybe we can include under "About the role"? But there is also "About The Role" heading in the posting. So we can put that content under About the role
.
- "What You'll Do" with bullet points (Budgeting & Forecasting 40%, Management & Board Reporting 25%, Cross-Functional Partnership 25%, Other duties 10%). That's responsibilities.
- Requirements: Minimum Requirements (Bachelor's degree, 5+ years experience, 3+ years non-profit experience). Also "Work Demands" (ability to work in-person 3 days per week, travel up to 4 times per year, extended hours during budget season). Also "Additional Requirements" (Authorized to work in the U.S, Braven doesn't offer employment visa sponsorship). Those could be under Requirements or maybe separate sections like Skills? But we can include under Requirements.
- Preferred Qualifications: list of items.
- Benefits: described.
- Compensation/Pay: hiring ranges per geographic market, note based on 50-hour work week, etc.
- Schedule: location hybrid, work 3 days in office, 2 remote, location hubs.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not include sections with no real content.
Thus sections:
About the role
- include About Braven paragraph and About The Role paragraph.
Responsibilities
- include the bullet list under What You'll Do.
Requirements
- include Minimum Requirements, Work Demands, Additional Requirements (maybe combine).
Preferred Qualifications
- list.
Benefits
- list benefits.
Pay
- include compensation/hiring ranges.
Schedule
- include location/hybrid schedule.
We must not repeat job title.
We must not include markdown fences.
We must output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use
