Director of Academic Budget

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? The posting includes "Purpose", "Responsibilities", "Required Qualifications", "Preferred Qualifications", "Key Competencies", "Salary Range", "Working Conditions". Also maybe "General Notes" but that's boilerplate. We need to include only sections with real content. Also need to include maybe "Benefits"? Not present. "Pay" we have Salary Range. "Schedule" we have Weekly Scheduled Hours: 40, but that's schedule info. Should we include a Schedule section? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. We have Weekly Scheduled Hours: 40, FLSA Status: Exempt, etc. That's schedule info. Could include a Schedule section with that info. However we must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state Weekly Scheduled Hours: 40, FLSA Status: Exempt. So we can include a Schedule section with that. Also Pay: Salary Range $130,000 + depending on qualifications. So include Pay section. We need to remove boilerplate: General Notes, Position Open To, etc. Also remove application instructions, EEO, etc. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract content: Job Title: Director of Academic Budget (but we don't repeat as heading). Hiring Department: Academic Administration and Planning (maybe include as metadata? Could fold into short p). Position Open To: All Applicants (maybe not needed). Weekly Scheduled Hours: 40. FLSA Status: Exempt from FLSA. Earliest Start Date: Sep 28, 2026. Position Duration: Expected to Continue. Location: UT MAIN CAMPUS. We could put these in a short p at top: "Hiring Department: Academic Administration and Planning. Position open to all applicants. Weekly scheduled hours: 40 (FLSA exempt). Earliest start date: September 28, 2026. Position expected to continue. Location: UT Main Campus." Then sections: About the role? The posting has "Purpose". Could use About the role heading? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings. "Purpose" could be under About the role. We'll put About the role with the purpose paragraph. Responsibilities: we have a big block. Requirements/Qualifications: we have Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine into Requirements? But we have separate headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The instruction says use those headings as examples; we can decide. Probably better to have Requirements (required qualifications) and Preferred Qualifications maybe under Qualifications? Or we could have Requirements (required) and Qualifications (preferred). Skills: we have Key Competencies. Pay: Salary Range. Schedule: Weekly Scheduled Hours and FLSA Status. Benefits: not present, omit. We need to preserve all substantive information: include details from Purpose, Responsibilities, Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Key Competencies, Salary Range, Working Conditions (maybe include under Working Conditions? Not a heading example but we could include under Schedule? Actually Working Conditions is separate; but not in examples. Could we include a Working Conditions section? The instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings (e.g.). It might be okay to add Working Conditions as a heading if we have content. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be okay to include Working Conditions as a section. But we could fold Working Conditions into Schedule or Pay? Probably better to have its own section: Working Conditions. But the examples didn't list Working Conditions; but they said "e.g." meaning examples, not exhaustive. So we can add Working Conditions. We must not include boilerplate like Equal Opportunity Employer etc. Let's extract each section's content. About the role (Purpose): "As a member of Academic and Administration Planning, the Director of Academic Budget prepares financial budgets and forecasts for various Executive Vice President and Provost (EVPP) programs and initiatives including Tuition Reduction Benefits (TRB), Non-Resident Tuition Exemption (NRTE), and Graduate Fellowship allocations.
