We need to output only HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key content: - Intro: "Want to learn more about this role and Jobot? Click our Jobot logo and follow our LinkedIn page!" (boilerplate, remove) - "Job details: Pension + Amazing Benefits + High-Impact Leadership Role + Build a Newly Redesigned Function + Strong Work-Life Balance" - "This Jobot Job is hosted by: Carrie Powell" - "Are you a fit? Easy Apply now by clicking the "Easy Apply" button and sending us your resume." (application instruction, remove) - "Salary: $76,000 - $96,000 per year" => Pay section. - "A bit about us: ..." => About the role? Actually about the organization. Could be "About the role" or "About the organization". We'll use "About the role" as heading. - "Why join us?" bullet points: Build rather than inherit..., Major transformation..., Real institutional visibility..., Meaningful technical work..., Ownership of data governance..., Mission-driven environment..., Strong work-life balance..., Exceptional benefits..., Stability:... These are benefits and reasons. We'll need to extract Benefits, Work-life balance, etc. We have separate Benefits and maybe Schedule sections. - "Job Details Position Summary: ..." => Responsibilities? Actually summary of role. - Then sections: Institutional Data & Analytics Leadership, Reporting & Compliance, Data Governance, Technology & Modernization, Strategic Collaboration, Leadership & Capacity Building. These are responsibilities/duties. - Minimum Qualifications list. - Preferred Background list. - "Interested in hearing more? Easy Apply now..." remove. - EEO boilerplate remove. We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe includes A bit about us and Why join us?), Responsibilities (the detailed duties), Requirements (minimum qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe preferred?), Skills (maybe combine?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not create sections with filler. Must include only if real content. We have Pay: salary range. Schedule: The posting mentions "Primarily onsite with one work-from-home day per week, Summer Fridays, a mid-winter break". That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Benefits: "Exceptional benefits: Comprehensive health coverage, employer-provided dental and vision, retirement options, generous leave, and tuition benefits." Also earlier "Pension + Amazing Benefits". Also "Strong work-life balance" maybe part of Benefits or Schedule. We'll put Benefits section with those details. We also have "Pension" mentioned in job details line. We need to avoid duplication. Let's craft sections:

About the role

We are an established public higher education institution serving thousands of students across multiple locations in Southwest Michigan. Our organization has a long history in the community and is focused on student success, workforce development, accessibility, continuous improvement, and responsible stewardship of institutional resources. We are currently making a significant investment in the future of our technology and data environment. The organization is in the early stages of a multiyear cloud migration while simultaneously redesigning its institutional research, reporting, analytics, and compliance function. This is not simply a replacement hire. Retirements created an opportunity to step back, rethink the structure, and build a team designed around where the institution is going next.

Maybe also include "Why join us?" bullet points? Could be part of About the role or separate Benefits. But we already have Benefits and Schedule sections. The "Why join us?" includes many points: Build rather than inherit, Major transformation, Real institutional visibility, Meaningful technical work, Ownership of data governance, Mission-driven environment, Strong work-life balance, Exceptional benefits, Stability. Some of those overlap with Benefits and Schedule. We could incorporate them into About the role as narrative, but we must not invent. We can keep them as part of About the role paragraph(s). However we need to avoid duplication with Benefits and Schedule sections. We could keep Benefits and Schedule separate and keep Why join us points that are not covered elsewhere (like Build rather than inherit, Major transformation, Real institutional visibility, Meaningful technical work, Ownership of data governance, Mission-driven environment, Stability). Those are more about role appeal. Could be part of About the role. Thus About the role paragraph can include those points. Now Responsibilities: combine the detailed duty sections: Institutional Data & Analytics Leadership, Reporting & Compliance, Data Governance, Technology & Modernization, Strategic Collaboration, Leadership & Capacity Building. We'll produce a
  • list. We need to preserve all substantive info; not summarize away detail. So we need to include each bullet point from those sections. Let's extract each bullet: Institutional Data & Analytics Leadership: - Lead the collection, validation, analysis, and interpretation of institutional data. - Ensure leaders have accurate, accessible information for planning, assessment, budgeting, resource allocation, and operational decision-making. - Use advanced analytical methods to identify trends and translate complex data into meaningful information. - Support forecasting and predictive analysis tied to enrollment, student outcomes, institutional performance, and other strategic priorities. - Oversee institutional dashboards, reports, reporting tools, and analytics platforms. - Ensure reporting solutions remain aligned with institutional priorities and governance standards. Reporting & Compliance: - Own federal, state, and other required institutional reporting processes. - Oversee IPEDS and other mandated higher education submissions, surveys, and data collections. - Validate and reconcile information across multiple systems before external submission. - Maintain strong documentation and controls around official institutional reporting. - Serve as a key institutional contact for external reporting agencies, requests, audits, and follow-up inquiries. - Partner closely with areas such as student services and financial aid where reporting and compliance requirements are particularly important. Data Governance: - Provide leadership for institution-wide data governance. - Establish and reinforce common definitions, standards, ownership, stewardship responsibilities, and quality expectations. - Improve data integrity and consistency across departments and systems. - Partner with IT and functional data owners to define appropriate access and accountability. - Balance accessibility with privacy, security, regulatory, and compliance requirements. - Participate in and help guide institutional data governance committees and working groups. Technology & Modernization: - Help move the organization away from manual, legacy, and highly customized reporting processes. - Partner with IT and functional leaders to improve integration and data exchange across systems. - Support the organization's broader cloud transformation. - Identify opportunities to streamline processes, automate reporting, and reduce unnecessary customizations. - Work with reporting, visualization, database, and business intelligence technologies. - Help create scalable systems and processes rather than one-off solutions. Strategic Collaboration: - Work with executive leadership and stakeholders throughout the institution to understand information needs. - Translate technical and analytical findings for audiences with different levels of data expertise. - Turn data into meaningful narratives rather than simply producing reports. - Support institutional planning, student-success initiatives, program evaluation, enrollment strategy, and resource allocation. - Lead or support institutional survey activities, data-quality review, and reporting of survey findings. Leadership & Capacity Building: - Supervise and develop employees reporting into the function. - Help build a newly structured team and establish effective working relationships and responsibilities. - Develop documentation, training, and guidance for employees using institutional data and reporting tools. - Improve data literacy across the institution. - Promote evidence-based decision-making and responsible data use. Now Requirements: Minimum Qualifications list. Minimum Qualifications: - Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Data Science, Business Analytics, Educational Research, or a closely related discipline. - 4+ years of progressively responsible experience in institutional research, data analysis, business intelligence, compliance reporting, or a related area. - Strong experience with relational databases, enterprise reporting platforms, and business intelligence/analytics tools. - Demonstrated responsibility for institutional reporting, data validation, reconciliation, and cross-functional decision support. - Advanced analytical, statistical, and problem-solving skills. - Ability to analyze information from multiple data sources and translate findings into actionable insights. - Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills with the ability to communicate with executives, technical teams, faculty/staff, and external organizations. - Knowledge of federal and state higher education reporting requirements and sound data-governance practices. - Experience modernizing data management or reporting environments. - Demonstrated ability to collaborate across multiple levels and functions. - Supervisory experience. Qualifications: Preferred Background list. Preferred Background: - Higher education, institutional research, institutional effectiveness, or related public-sector environment. - Master's degree in Information Systems, Data Science, Business Analytics, Educational Research, or a related area. - Experience with institutional data governance. - Experience with large-scale technology transformation or cloud migration. - Power BI, Tableau, relational databases, SQL, enterprise reporting tools, or comparable analytics technologies. - Experience with IPEDS, state higher-education reporting, institutional surveys, accreditation, or related compliance reporting. Skills: Could combine technical skills from both Minimum and Preferred? But we already have Requirements and Qualifications sections. The instruction says use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Requirements (minimum qualifications) and Qualifications (preferred). Skills maybe we can extract specific skills like "Strong experience with relational databases, enterprise reporting platforms, and business intelligence/analytics tools." etc. But that may duplicate. However we need to include a Skills section only if there is real specific content not already covered. Could we treat Skills as a subset of Requirements? Might be redundant. But we can still include Skills with bullet points of technical skills: e.g., "Relational databases, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, enterprise reporting tools, business intelligence/analytics tools, data governance, cloud migration, IPEDS reporting." However we must not invent. We can pull from the text: "Strong experience with relational databases, enterprise reporting platforms, and business intelligence/analytics tools." "Experience with institutional data governance." "Experience with large-scale technology transformation or cloud migration." "Power BI, Tableau, relational databases, SQL, enterprise reporting tools, or comparable analytics technologies." "Experience with IPEDS, state higher-education reporting, institutional surveys, accreditation, or related compliance reporting." Also "Advanced analytical, statistical, and problem-solving skills." "Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills." "Ability to analyze information from multiple data sources and translate findings into actionable insights." "Demonstrated ability to collaborate across multiple levels and functions." "Supervisory experience." We could put those in Skills section. But then Requirements and Qualifications would be overlapping. However the instruction says to prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But they ask to use headings for each. We could still include them but ensure they are not thin. They have decent content. We'll include: - About the role - Responsibilities - Requirements (minimum qualifications) - Qualifications (preferred) - Skills (maybe we can omit if too thin). But we have enough for Skills: we can list technical and soft skills. - Benefits - Pay - Schedule We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not include. We must not include metadata like Job ID or hosted by Carrie Powell. That's minor metadata; we can drop it or fold into short p. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." So we can drop "This Jobot Job is hosted by: Carrie Powell". We'll drop it. Also drop "Want to learn more about this role and Jobot? Click our Jobot logo and follow our LinkedIn page!" (boilerplate). Also drop application instructions. Now produce HTML. Let's craft:
