Director, Fund Accounting
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. No filler. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate etc. We need to parse the posting. Job title: Director, Private Markets Accounting (but we don't repeat as heading). Location: NYC; Boston, MA; Union, NJ (Hybrid). Could include location in a short
maybe under About the role? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So location is minor metadata; we can include in a
after heading maybe. We need sections: About the role (we have "About The Role" paragraph). Responsibilities: there is a list of duties under "How You Will Make An Impact" and also many bullet-like sentences. We'll extract responsibilities. Requirements: maybe "Required Experience" and "What Sets You Apart". Could split into Requirements (experience) and Qualifications (education, certifications) and Skills (technical). But we need to follow instruction: Use headings for those categories if content exists. We'll decide. We have: - About The Role: paragraph. - How You Will Make An Impact: list of responsibilities (many sentences). We'll put under Responsibilities. - Required Experience: "3+ years’ experience supervising, training, delegating tasks, and managing large teams Knowledge of US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and other comprehensive basis of accounting, with an emphasis on investment partnerships". That's experience requirement. - What Sets You Apart: list of qualifications/skills: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or related field; 10+ years’ experience in Private Equity/Real Assets fund accounting; CPA designation and/or MBA a plus; Directly responsible for hiring and termination decisions as well as providing continuous performance feedback to staff; Deadline oriented with ability to complete assigned tasks independently.; Demonstrated project management skills with the ability to multi-task; Hands-on management style with strong leadership skills and ability to develop staff; Excellent interpersonal and communication skills and able to interact with others at various levels; Excellent client relationship management skills; Strong organizational skills and ability to work in a faced pace environment (typo: faced pace? maybe fast-paced); Proficiency in Microsoft Office suite, with advanced Excel skills; Experience working collaboratively with peers, part of a team and work independently. Also benefits: "SS&C Technologies offers a comprehensive total rewards package designed to support your wellbeing, growth, and future. Our benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage; a 401(k) plan with company match; paid time off, holidays, and parental leave; and professional development reimbursement opportunity." Pay: salary ranges per state: New Jersey: $115,000 to $210,000; New York: $115,000 to $210,000; Massachusetts: $115,000 to $215,000. Also mention discretionary bonus and/or equity awards. Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. There's hybrid location but not schedule. So we should not create Schedule section. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them.
We need to decide how to split content.
Potential sections:
- About the role: include the paragraph about Associate Director responsibilities (the first paragraph after About The Role). Also maybe location? We'll include location in a
after heading.
- Responsibilities: the list under "How You Will Make An Impact". We'll convert each sentence to
- .
- Requirements: maybe combine Required Experience and What Sets You Apart? But we have separate headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what goes where.
We could treat:
Requirements: "Required Experience" (3+ years supervising etc; knowledge of US GAAP etc).
Qualifications: education (Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or related field), CPA/MBA plus, 10+ years experience in Private Equity/Real Assets fund accounting.
Skills: leadership, project management, communication, client relationship, organizational, Excel, teamwork.
But we need to ensure we don't duplicate content. The "What Sets You Apart" includes both experience (10+ years) and skills etc. We could split.
Better: Use Requirements for the mandatory experience (3+ years supervising, GAAP knowledge). Use Qualifications for education and certifications (Bachelor's, CPA/MBA). Use Skills for the rest (leadership, project management, communication, client relationship, organizational, Excel, teamwork). Also include the 10+ years experience maybe as a qualification? It's experience, but could be under Requirements as well. However we already have 3+ years supervising; the 10+ years is more specific. Could put under Requirements as well. But we need to avoid duplication.
Let's think: The posting says:
Required Experience
3+ years’ experience supervising, training, delegating tasks, and managing large teams
Knowledge of US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and other comprehensive basis of accounting, with an emphasis on investment partnerships
What Sets You Apart
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or related field
10+ years’ experience in Private Equity/Real Assets fund accounting
CPA designation and/or MBA a plus
Directly responsible for hiring and termination decisions as well as providing continuous performance feedback to staff
Deadline oriented with ability to complete assigned tasks independently.
Demonstrated project management skills with the ability to multi-task
Hands-on management style with strong leadership skills and ability to develop staff
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills and able to interact with others at various levels
Excellent client relationship management skills
Strong organizational skills and ability to work in a faced pace environment
Proficiency in Microsoft Office suite, with advanced Excel skills
Experience working collaboratively with peers, part of a team and work independently
Thus we can map:
- Requirements: the Required Experience bullet points (2 items). Could also include the 10+ years experience? But that is under What Sets You Apart, maybe considered a qualification. We'll keep it under Qualifications.
- Qualifications: Bachelor's degree, 10+ years experience, CPA/MBA plus.
- Skills: the rest (leadership, project management, communication, client relationship, organizational, Excel, teamwork, hiring/termination, deadline oriented, etc.)
We need to ensure we don't lose any detail. Let's list each item from What Sets You Apart and assign.
Items:
1. Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or related field -> Qualification.
2. 10+ years’ experience in Private Equity/Real Assets fund accounting -> Qualification (experience).
3. CPA designation and/or MBA a plus -> Qualification.
4. Directly responsible for hiring and termination decisions as well as providing continuous performance feedback to staff -> Skill (management).
5. Deadline oriented with ability to complete assigned tasks independently. -> Skill.
6. Demonstrated project management skills with the ability to multi-task -> Skill.
7. Hands-on management style with strong leadership skills and ability to develop staff -> Skill.
8. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills and able to interact with others at various levels -> Skill.
9. Excellent client relationship management skills -> Skill.
10. Strong organizational skills and ability to work in a faced pace environment -> Skill (typo but keep as is).
11. Proficiency in Microsoft Office suite, with advanced Excel skills -> Skill.
12. Experience working collaboratively with peers, part of a team and work independently -> Skill.
Now Responsibilities: list from How You Will Make An Impact. Let's extract each sentence (they are separated by line breaks). We'll copy them.
List:
- Lead teams supporting the fund administration services to clients

- Promote corporate goals and business/departmental initiatives
Note there is duplicate "Review fund governing documents, offering documents" appears twice (once earlier and again later). We should preserve as is (maybe it's intentional). We'll keep both.
Now Benefits: list: medical, dental, and vision coverage; a 401(k) plan with company match; paid time off, holidays, and parental leave; and professional development reimbursement opportunity.
We'll make
- for each.
Pay: we have salary ranges per state and mention discretionary bonus and/or equity awards. We'll include as
maybe with details.
We need to avoid filler like "Actual base salary will vary based on several factors..." That's substantive, we should keep. Also "In addition, employees in this role may be eligible for consideration on an annual basis for a discretionary bonus and/or equity awards, such as restricted stock units or stock options, based upon individual and business performance at the company’s discretion." Keep.
We also have "Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the position is filled." That's application instruction; we should remove per instruction: remove application instructions. So drop that line.
Also EEO boilerplate: remove.
Also "Join SS&C, where innovation meets global opportunities. Click here to apply." Remove.
Also "Unless explicitly requested or approached by SS&C Technologies, Inc. or any of its affiliated companies, the company will not accept unsolicited resumes from headhunters, recruitment agencies, or fee-based recruitment services." That's also maybe boilerplate; remove.
Now we need to include location maybe as a short
after About the role.
Let's craft HTML.
Structure:
