Best Consideration Date: October 15, 2026. Posting Close Date: NA. Open Until Filled: Yes. Job Risks: Not Applicable. Financial Disclosure Required: Yes. Department: VPUR-Principal Gifts. Worker Sub-Type: Staff Regular. Salary Range: $146,522-$170,000. Benefits Summary: For more information on Regular Exempt benefits, select this link. Background Checks: Offers contingent on completion of background check... etc. Employment Eligibility: must complete I-9 etc. EEO etc. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we should drop Required Application Materials lines, Best Consideration Date etc? Those are metadata but not necessarily boilerplate; they could be considered minor metadata. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with metadata like Best Consideration Date, Open Until Filled, Salary Range, Benefits, etc. But we need sections only when posting has real specific content. We have Salary Range: $146,522-$170,000 -> that is Pay section. Benefits: "Benefits Summary: For more information on Regular Exempt benefits, select this link." That's vague; not specific benefit details. The instruction: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It states a Benefits Summary but just a link; not specific. Might be considered not substantive. Probably we should not create Benefits section because no concrete benefits listed. Schedule: "must be able to work evenings and weekends as needed. Frequent local travel, and occasional national travel is required (up to 50%)." Also physical demands: ability to work some evenings and weekends as necessary; local travel approx 40%; out-of-state travel approx 10%. So we have schedule info: evenings/weekends, travel percentages. That could go under Schedule section. We also have Physical Demands separate but could be part of Schedule or Requirements? Probably Schedule. We have Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (education, experience). Also Preferences (preferred experience). Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to decide which sections to include. We have About the role: we can summarize the role description (first paragraph). That's substantive. Responsibilities: we have bullet list of duties. Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications (education, experience). Could also include Preferences as "Preferred Qualifications". But we can combine. Qualifications: maybe Knowledge, Skills, Abilities. Skills: maybe the specific skills listed (problem solving, strategic planning, oral/written communication, MS Office/Google Suite, develop policies, interpret policies, interact with donors/senior execs, handle multiple tasks, adhere to deadlines). Those are skills. Pay: Salary Range. Schedule: evenings/weekends, travel. We should not include Benefits because not specific. We should not include sections like "About the role" if we have no content? We have content. We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details exactly as given, not paraphrase too much but we can rephrase slightly but must keep meaning. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading (the page already shows it). So we don't put

  Director of Development, Do Good

  . Good. We need to fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. So we could include a

  with Best Consideration Date: October 15, 2026; Open Until Filled: Yes; Salary Range: $146,522-$170,000; etc. But we already have Pay section for salary. Maybe we put metadata like Best Consideration Date, Open Until Filled in a short

  before sections. But we must not repeat job title. Let's structure:

  Best Consideration Date: October 15, 2026. Open Until Filled: Yes.

  Then sections:
