We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "ROLE OVERVIEW". We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content: Role Overview (maybe About the role). Responsibilities (KEY RESPONSIBILITIES). Qualifications (QUALIFICATIONS). Skills maybe part of qualifications? Could separate Skills? The posting includes "Strong project management, forecasting, and donor CRM skills (EveryAction)." That's skills. Could put under Skills section. Benefits? Not mentioned. Pay: Compensation: $150,000. So we have Pay section. Schedule: "TA is a hybrid office and this role requires in office work 2-3 days per week as well as occasional nights and weekends." That's schedule. Benefits not mentioned, so omit. Also we need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate: EEO etc. Also remove application instructions. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove navigation etc. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

headings,
  • for lists,

    for prose. We need to decide sections: About the role (role overview), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Director of Development. We need to include metadata like location, reports to, direct reports, works closely with? That is substantive; we can include in About the role paragraph. Let's extract content: Location: New York City Metropolitan Area Reports to: Executive Director – Managing Director Direct Reports: Development Manager, Development Associate; Events Manager; oversees Grants Consultant (Senior Development Advisor) Works closely with: Executive Director, Finance & Operations, CRM Manager, Communications, Advocacy Compensation: $150,000 Transportation Alternatives description: we can include in About the role. ROLE OVERVIEW paragraph: The Director of Development leads TA's day-to-day fundraising program, building the systems, strategies, pipelines, and team needed to achieve the organization's contributed-revenue goals. Working closely with the Executive Director and overseen by the Managing Director — the Director of Development translates fundraising goals into an actionable, diversified revenue strategy across individual, foundation, corporate, and event giving, while managing forecasting, pipeline development, and the Development team with support from the Managing Director. TA is a hybrid office and this role requires in office work 2-3 days per week as well as occasional nights and weekends. Now responsibilities: list bullet points under headings. We need to preserve all bullet points. They are grouped under subheadings: Executive Director Fundraising Support, Fundraising Strategy & Revenue Management, Major Gifts & Individual Giving, Foundation & Corporate Giving, Donor Stewardship, Events & Board Support, Team Leadership & Systems, Cross-Departmental Collaboration. We can either keep subheadings as part of list items? Probably better to keep as list items with bold? But we only allowed

    • . We can include subheading text inside
    • as plain text. We'll create a
        for responsibilities, each responsibility as
      • . Might be long but okay. Qualifications: Required and Preferred. We'll split into Required list and Preferred list. Skills: Could extract from qualifications: Strong project management, forecasting, and donor CRM skills (EveryAction). Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience preparing senior leaders for donor interactions. Also maybe experience supervising and developing staff. But those are qualifications. We could still have Skills section listing those. But we must not create thin sections; better to combine Skills into Qualifications? However instruction says use headings for Skills if we have content. We have skills content, so we can make Skills section. Pay: $150,000. Schedule: hybrid office, in-office 2-3 days per week, occasional nights and weekends. Now produce HTML. We must not include markdown fences. Let's craft. Start with

        About the role

        then

        containing location, reports to, direct reports, works closely, organization description, role overview, hybrid schedule? Actually schedule separate. We'll include location, reports to, direct reports, works closely, organization description, role overview. Then

        Responsibilities

          with each bullet. Then

          Qualifications

          maybe split into Required and Preferred as subheadings? But we only allowed headings for sections; we could still have

          Required

          inside? Not specified. Safer to have two
            under Qualifications with preceding

            for Required and Preferred. But we need to follow instruction: Use

            for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should have Qualifications heading, then inside we can have

            for Required and Preferred paragraphs, and

              for lists. Similarly Skills heading. Pay heading with

              $150,000

              . Schedule heading with

              Hybrid office; requires in‑office work 2‑3 days per week, plus occasional nights and weekends.

              . Now ensure we don't include boilerplate: EEO, application instructions, etc. Let's draft responsibilities list: - Serve as the Executive Director's primary staff partner on fundraising, maintaining the pipeline around their priority relationships. - Prepare donor and funder briefings, recommend next steps, and help prioritize the Executive Director's fundraising time. - Develop TA's annual fundraising plan and manage the contributed-revenue forecast, tracking committed, projected, prospective, and at-risk revenue. - Monitor performance, recommend adjustments, and identify opportunities to diversify TA's revenue base. - Partner with Finance and the Managing Director on revenue budgeting and reporting; provide regular reporting to the Executive Director. - Manage TA's major-gifts pipeline, personal donor portfolio, and moves management, in partnership with the Executive Director. - Identify and qualify new prospects; prepare the Executive Director for donor meetings and asks and ensure follow-up. - Lead strategy for annual giving, renewal, upgrade, and acquisition, delegating execution to the Development Manager. - Oversee TA's foundation and corporate sponsorship program, managing a portfolio of institutional funders and the proposal pipeline. - Work with Consultant (Senior Development Advisor), identify new funding opportunities and develop fundable priorities with organizational leaders. - Work with Events Manager to ensure sponsorship and other institutional commitments are met at select events. - Provide strategic direction and final review on key proposals while delegating drafting to Consultant (Senior Development Advisor) and grant administration of won opportunities to Managing Director. - Establish a consistent, differentiated donor and funder stewardship program, documented in TA's CRM, EveryAction. - Supervise the Events Manager and set fundraising and sponsorship goals for donor-facing events, including TA's annual benefit. - Support the Executive Director and Board Development Committee with donor materials, outreach, and tracking of fundraising commitments. - With support from the Managing Director, lead and manage the Development team, setting clear portfolios, goals, and performance expectations. - Run regular team and pipeline meetings; coach staff and build a culture of ownership and accountability. - Maintain strong systems for forecasting, moves management, and reporting, in partnership with the CRM Manager and Managing Director. - Partner with Communications, Advocacy, and Finance/Operations to align fundraising with organizational priorities and systems. Now qualifications required list: - 5–7 years of experience in a development role at a nonprofit organization, with a track record of increasing responsibility. - Demonstrated success managing fundraising pipelines and revenue across individual, foundation, corporate, and/or event giving. - Experience supervising and developing staff. - Strong project management, forecasting, and donor CRM skills (EveryAction). - Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience preparing senior leaders for donor interactions. Preferred list: - Experience in transportation, urban planning, urban design, or advocacy. - Experience in individual giving and major gifts. Skills section: Could list project management, forecasting, donor CRM (EveryAction), written/verbal communication, preparing senior leaders for donor interactions. But those already in qualifications. To avoid duplication, maybe we can omit Skills section and keep qualifications only. However instruction says we can include Skills if we have content. But we risk duplication. Better to include Skills summarizing those skills not already covered? But they are covered. Could still include but risk duplication but not inventing. It's okay to repeat? Might be considered redundant but not invented. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe better to omit Skills and keep Qualifications only. But we need to include Pay and Schedule sections. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. We'll not include Skills. Now ensure we don't include any filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now produce HTML. Let's craft:
