Full-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into short

    or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - Intro: "The Director of Budget and Analysis oversees the organization’s budgeting and financial planning and modelling, ensuring fiscal health through strategic budget development, monitoring, and reporting. The Director provides financial insights to support decision-making by leadership by ensuring budgets align with organizational goals and financial policies. This position is Full Time, Exempt and reports to the Chief Financial Officer." - About The Community Group (TCG): description. - About The Business Office And The Finance Department: description. - Work Schedule: "This position is eligible for a hybrid work schedule after an initial orientation period, with a minimum of three days per week required onsite. Additional onsite presence may be required based on organizational needs, meetings, and responsibilities of the role." - Essential Duties And Responsibilities: list of duties. - Qualifications: includes Work Environment description, Physical demands, etc. - Compensation Statement: about salary range, etc. - EEO Statement / Commitment to Diversity: boilerplate to remove. - E-Verify Notice: boilerplate to remove. We need to remove EEO, E-Verify, etc. We need to keep substantive info: intro, about TCG, about Business Office/Finance, Work Schedule, Essential Duties And Responsibilities, Qualifications (including work environment, physical demands, etc.), Compensation Statement. We need to decide sections headings: Use

    for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we need to map content to these headings. The posting doesn't have explicit "About the role" but we have intro describing role. Could treat that as "About the role". "Responsibilities" corresponds to Essential Duties And Responsibilities. "Qualifications" corresponds to Qualifications (including work environment). "Skills" maybe not present; we could omit if no specific skills list. "Pay" corresponds to Compensation Statement (salary range). "Schedule" corresponds to Work Schedule. "Benefits" not present; we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. There's no explicit benefits listed, so omit Benefits. "About the role" we can include intro. "Requirements" maybe could be part of Qualifications? But we have Qualifications section already; we could treat Qualifications as Requirements. But we need to follow instruction: Use headings for those categories only if content exists. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also "Requirements" could be merged into Qualifications; but we could also create a Requirements heading for things like "Work Environment", "Physical demands", etc. However Qualifications already covers that. To avoid thin sections, we could combine Qualifications and Requirements into one Qualifications section. But the instruction says use headings for those categories; we can choose to include Qualifications and not Requirements if we think Qualifications covers it. However we have a separate "Qualifications" block in the posting; we can map that to Qualifications heading. The "Requirements" heading could be omitted. We also have "Skills" not present; omit. Thus sections: About the role (

    About the role

    ), Responsibilities (

    Responsibilities

    ), Qualifications (

    Qualifications

    ), Pay (

    Pay

    ), Schedule (

    Schedule

    ). We need to use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For Responsibilities we have a list of duties; we should output as
      • each duty. For Qualifications we have a paragraph describing work environment, physical demands, etc. Not a list; we can keep as

        . However there may be list-like items: "Work Environment: This position operates in a hybrid work environment, requiring weekly onsite presence at the TCG business office. Physical demands include the ability to sit or stand for extended periods, move throughout office or program environments (which may include stairs or uneven surfaces), and communicate effectively in person, by phone, and electronically. The role may occasionally require lifting up to 10 pounds (such as files, laptops, or other office materials). This role requires evening and/or weekend work. Reasonable accommodations will be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the position." That's prose; we can keep as

        . Compensation Statement: "At The Community Group, we are committed to equitable and transparent compensation practices that reflect our values and mission. The posted salary range represents our good-faith estimate of pay for this position at the time of posting. Placement within this range will be determined using fair, non-discriminatory factors, including skills, experience, and competencies. Our compensation practices are regularly reviewed to ensure fairness, consistency, and compliance with the Massachusetts Pay Transparency Act." That's prose;

        . Work Schedule: "This position is eligible for a hybrid work schedule after an initial orientation period, with a minimum of three days per week required onsite. Additional onsite presence may be required based on organizational needs, meetings, and responsibilities of the role." That's prose;

        . About the role: Intro paragraph(s) plus maybe about TCG and Business Office? Actually "About The Community Group (TCG)" and "About The Business Office And The Finance Department" are about organization, not role. Could be considered part of "About the role"? Might be better to include them under About the role as context. But we could also create a separate section like "About the organization" but not in allowed headings. Since only allowed headings are those list, we should fit content into those. The intro about role plus organization details could go under About the role. However we must not invent headings; we can include multiple paragraphs under About the role. Thus About the role section will contain: The Director of Budget and Analysis oversees... (intro), plus About The Community Group (TCG) description, plus About The Business Office And The Finance Department description. All as

        paragraphs. Responsibilities: list of duties. Qualifications: work environment etc. Pay: compensation statement. Schedule: work schedule. We must remove EEO, E-Verify, etc. Now ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. We are not. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present. We must preserve all substantive information; we need to ensure we didn't drop any. Let's extract all substantive content: Intro: "The Director of Budget and Analysis oversees the organization’s budgeting and financial planning and modelling, ensuring fiscal health through strategic budget development, monitoring, and reporting. The Director provides financial insights to support decision-making by leadership by ensuring budgets align with organizational goals and financial policies. This position is Full Time, Exempt and reports to the Chief Financial Officer."

We should also maybe include that it's Full Time, Exempt (already in intro). Good. Now we need to output HTML fragment only. Structure:
