Director of Athletics Development/Associate Director of Athletics
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections like About the role (maybe summarizing position summary). Responsibilities (essential functions). Requirements (required qualifications). Qualifications (maybe knowledge and skills). Skills (maybe separate). Benefits (benefits package). Pay (salary range). Schedule (scheduled hours per week, hybrid, etc). We need to include only if content present.
Let's extract:
About the role: Could be Position Summary: Reporting to Senior Director..., works closely..., fostering culture..., etc. That's substantive.
Responsibilities: Essential Functions list (multiple bullet points). Also Additional Functions? Could be part of responsibilities.
Requirements: Required Qualifications: Education and Experience (Bachelor's degree, min 6 years fundraising, min 3 years supervisory). Also maybe "Is this a Union position? No" not needed.
Qualifications: Knowledge and Skills (list of skills). Also Preferred Qualifications (Plus Delta certification, fundraising experience in intercollegiate athletics, solid command of database and CRM tools). Could be under Qualifications or Skills.
Skills: maybe separate but we can combine.
Benefits: The University offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision insurance; flexible spending accounts; retirement plans; life insurance; short and long-term disability; employee assistance program (EAP); tuition remission; and generous time off.
Pay: Minimum Starting Salary $95,000 Maximum Starting Salary $115,000. Also note "Salary is commensurate with qualifications, experience, and skills." That's a filler phrase; we should not include a section with just that phrase. But we have actual numbers, so we can include Pay section with the range.
Schedule: Scheduled Hours Per Week 35, Work Arrangement Hybrid, Hybrid Policy link. Also "This position requires travel as well as evening and weekend hours." So schedule info present.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO statement, Posting Detail Information, Posting Number, Number of Vacancies, Start Date, Posting Date, Special Instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We must not include navigation, cookie, legal, etc.
We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
Thus we need to include all bullet points from Essential Functions, Additional Functions, Required Qualifications (Education and Experience), Knowledge and Skills, Preferred Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must be careful not to repeat info.
Let's structure:

That's from Position Summary.

Additional Functions:
- Supports team-specific volunteer groups such as the Hall of Fame Committee and Rebounders Club.

We'll put these as - under Responsibilities.
Now Requirements: Required Qualifications: Education and Experience.
- Bachelor’s degree.
- Minimum of 6 years of professional fundraising experience, including demonstrated success in raising annual and leadership annual gifts.
- Minimum Of 3 Years Of Supervisory Experience.
We'll put as list.
Now Qualifications: Knowledge and Skills (list). Also Preferred Qualifications.
Knowledge and Skills bullet points:
- Demonstrated success in personally securing five-figure commitments by connecting donor passions with institutional values.
- Exceptional communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to articulate Fordham’s Jesuit identity to ignite confidence and enthusiasm across diverse audiences.
- Excellent judgment, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, grounded in ethical discernment.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Fundraising experience in intercollegiate athletics.
- Solid command of database and CRM tools (Ellucian CRM Advance).
We could put Knowledge and Skills under a section "Qualifications" or "Skills". The instruction list includes Qualifications and Skills as separate possible headings. We need to decide.
We have both Required Qualifications (education/experience) and Knowledge and Skills (skills). Preferred Qualifications could be under Qualifications as well.
We could have:
Requirements
for education/experience.
Qualifications
for knowledge and skills (maybe also preferred).
But we also have Skills heading possible. However we can combine knowledge and skills under Qualifications.
We must not create empty sections.
Thus:
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree.
- Minimum of 6 years of professional fundraising experience, including demonstrated success in raising annual and leadership annual gifts.
- Minimum of 3 years of supervisory experience.
Qualifications
- Demonstrated success in personally securing five-figure commitments by connecting donor passions with institutional values.
... (all knowledge and skills bullets)
- Plus Delta certification.
- Fundraising experience in intercollegiate athletics.
- Solid command of database and CRM tools (Ellucian CRM Advance).
But note that Preferred Qualifications are separate; we could still include them in same list but maybe we should separate? The instruction says we can have Qualifications and Skills sections. But we have both knowledge and skills and preferred qualifications. Could put knowledge and skills under Qualifications, and preferred qualifications under Skills? Or we could have Qualifications (required) and Skills (preferred). However the instruction list includes Qualifications and Skills as examples; we can use them as needed.
We have Required Qualifications (education/experience) - we already put under Requirements.
We have Knowledge and Skills (skills) - we could put under Skills.
We have Preferred Qualifications - maybe also under Qualifications? But we already used Qualifications for knowledge and skills; we could put preferred under Qualifications as well, but that mixes.
Better: Use:
Requirements
for education/experience.
Skills
for knowledge and skills.
Preferred Qualifications
for plus delta, intercollegiate athletics experience, CRM tools.
But the instruction list didn't include Preferred Qualifications as a heading example, but we can still use it if we have content. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says "e.g." meaning those are examples, not exhaustive. So we can add other headings if needed, but better to stick to those examples. However we can incorporate preferred qualifications into Qualifications or Skills sections.
Let's put knowledge and skills under Skills, and preferred qualifications under Qualifications (since they are qualifications). But we already used Requirements for education/experience. So:
Requirements
(education/experience)
Qualifications
(preferred qualifications)
Skills
(knowledge and skills)
But that seems odd: qualifications usually refer to required qualifications; but we already used Requirements for required education/experience. Could swap: Requirements for required qualifications (education/experience + experience). Qualifications for knowledge and skills (maybe). Skills for preferred qualifications? Not ideal.
Alternatively, we can combine required education/experience and knowledge/skills under Requirements, and put preferred qualifications under Qualifications. But we need to preserve all info.
Let's think: The instruction list includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We can decide:
- Requirements: Education and Experience (required).
- Qualifications: Knowledge and Skills (required skills).
- Skills: Preferred Qualifications (maybe). But Skills heading might be weird for preferred qualifications.
Better: Use Requirements for education/experience + required experience (including supervisory). Use Qualifications for knowledge and skills (required skills). Use Skills for preferred qualifications (maybe). But the instruction says "Skills" could be used for list of skills; we already have knowledge and skills list; we could put that under Skills, and put preferred qualifications under Qual

Thus we need to include all bullet points from Essential Functions, Additional Functions, Required Qualifications (Education and Experience), Knowledge and Skills, Preferred Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
