work hours, full-time 35 hrs/week, may exceed. We must ensure we don't create sections with placeholder like "not specified". All have content. Now we need to strip boilerplate: Job ID, Posted, Expires, Category, Terms, Experience, Education lines (but we incorporate into sections). Also remove "Send applications or inquiries to:", "Apply by Email", privacy notice, Terms of Service, Report This Listing, etc. Also remove "About The Employer" maybe we could include mission statement as part of About the role? But it's about employer; maybe we could include as a short paragraph under About the role? The instruction: About the role section likely for role description, not employer. But we could include employer mission as part of About the role? Might be okay but better to keep role-focused. However we need to preserve all substantive info; the employer mission is substantive. Could we put it under a separate section? Not in allowed headings. Could we incorporate into About the role as a brief note? The instruction says "About the role" heading; we could include employer mission there as part of role context. It's not violating. We must not include "Similar Job Listings". Remove. Now craft HTML. We'll need to escape any special characters? Not needed. Let's draft:About the role

Check we didn't repeat job title. Good. We must ensure no boilerplate like "Posting Date", etc. Not present. Check for any duplicated lines: we have not. Check for any placeholders like "not specified": none. Check for any minor metadata like Job ID: removed. All substantive info preserved? Let's verify: - Summary: included. - Responsibilities: covered major gifts, EITC, gov scholarship, annual giving, planned giving, event planning, grants, manage office, other duties. - Education: Bachelor's required, Master's preferred. - CFRE: included under Qualifications. - Catholic values: included under Qualifications. - Experience: 5 years, major gift closing, Catholic school experience, EITC experience, grant writing, supervisory. - Donor database proficiency: under Requirements. - Driver's license: under Requirements. - Clearances: under Requirements. - Protecting God's Children and Mandated Reporter: under Requirements. - Physical demands: Not included! We omitted physical demands and working conditions details besides schedule. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information. Physical demands is substantive. We need to include it somewhere. Could add a section? Not in allowed headings. Could we add under Responsibilities? Not appropriate. Could we add a separate section like "Working Conditions" but not allowed headings. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No "Working Conditions" or "Physical Demands". However we could incorporate physical demands into Schedule or Responsibilities? Probably better to add a brief paragraph under Schedule or maybe under Responsibilities as part of role description? The physical demands are not responsibilities but job demands. Could we add a section "Requirements" to include physical demands? Might be okay as it's a requirement of the job (physical ability). The heading "Requirements" can include physical demands. So we can add bullet points for physical demands under Requirements. Similarly, working conditions details (year-round position, high school office environment, school operation hours) we already have schedule; we could add note about office environment under Schedule or maybe under About the role. But we already have schedule covering hours. The office environment could be added under Schedule as a note. Let's adjust Requirements to include physical demands bullet. Also we might add "Year‑round position; High School office environment." under Schedule or About the role. Let's add to Schedule paragraph. Now ensure we didn't miss any other substantive info: "The employee must occasionally lift and/or move up to 25 pounds." "Specific vision abilities required... close vision, ability to adjust focus." "The employee is continuously interacting with the public, staff and students." "The employee frequently must meet multiple demands from several people." We'll incorporate those. Add bullet under Requirements: Physical demands: frequently required to stand,
