Director of Development, Athletics
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc). Must not create sections with placeholder/filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Must only include sections when posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Type of Appointment: Full-Time, At-Will
- Job Classification: Administrator II
- Anticipated Hiring Range: $100,000-$115,008 annually (Commensurate with skills and qualifications)
- Work Hours: Monday - Friday, 8am - 5pm, unless otherwise notified
- Recruitment Close Date: Open Until Filled
- Priority Consideration Date: September 7, 2026
Then description: The Department ... etc.
Duties And Responsibilities: long list.
Qualifications: list.
Preferred Qualifications: list.
Out of State Work: policy.
Background Check: policy.
Education Code 89521 Requirements: policy.
CSU Classification Salary Range: mention MPP unit M80, classification standards, salary schedule, refer to anticipated hiring range.
Employment Eligibility Verification: policy.
University Driving Requirement: policy.
Conflict of Interest: policy.
Outside Employment Disclosure: partial sentence cut off.
We need to decide which sections to include.
We have Pay: we have anticipated hiring range. That's specific numbers. So we can include Pay section with that range.
Schedule: we have Work Hours: Monday - Friday, 8am - 5pm, unless otherwise notified. That's schedule info. So include Schedule section.
Benefits: not mentioned explicitly. No benefits details. So we should NOT include Benefits section.
About the role: we have description of department and role overview. Could be "About the role". Use that heading.
Responsibilities: we have Duties And Responsibilities section. Use that.
Requirements: maybe combine Qualifications? The instructions list possible headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide which to use based on content. The posting has "Qualifications" (required) and "Preferred Qualifications". Could map required qualifications to "Requirements" or "Qualifications". Since they have a heading "Qualifications", we could use that. But we also have "Preferred Qualifications". Could we combine into Qualifications section with subparts? The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose which headings to use. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (required), Preferred Qualifications (maybe also under Qualifications or Skills). Skills maybe not explicitly listed but could be derived from qualifications (communication skills etc). However we should not invent content. Better to keep Qualifications section for required qualifications, and maybe a separate Skills section? But we don't have a explicit "Skills" heading; we could treat some of the qualification items as skills, but that might be inventing. Safer to have Qualifications section covering both required and preferred? But we need to avoid filler. We could have two sections: Qualifications (required) and Preferred Qualifications (maybe as a subsection under Qualifications? But heading must be from list; "Preferred Qualifications" not in list. Could we treat as "Qualifications" and include both required and preferred? That would be okay, as we preserve all info. Or we could have "Qualifications" for required and "Skills" for preferred? Not ideal.
Given instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine required and preferred qualifications into one Qualifications section. That's substantive.
We also have "Out of State Work", "Background Check", etc. Those are policies, not core job description. Should we include them? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Those policies might be considered legal boilerplate. However they are substantive info about employment conditions. The instruction says remove legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Those are likely to be considered boilerplate. The policies like Out of State Work, Background Check, Education Code, Employment Eligibility Verification, University Driving Requirement, Conflict of Interest, Outside Employment Disclosure are likely legal boilerplate. So we should remove them. Also the CSU Classification Salary Range referencing standards is also boilerplate. So we should exclude those.
Thus we keep: About the role (department description), Responsibilities (duties), Qualifications (required and preferred), Pay, Schedule.
We must not include Benefits section because no info.
Now we need to format.
Use for each section heading.
Inside sections, use
for each section heading. Inside sections, use
for prose,
- for lists.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to copy the text exactly? Not necessarily exact wording but preserve meaning. We should not omit details. We'll need to include the duties list as bullet points. The responsibilities section includes many sentences; we can break into bullet points for each duty? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert the duties into a list. The responsibilities paragraph includes multiple sentences each describing a duty. We can make each sentence a list item.
Similarly qualifications: we can list each requirement as bullet.
We need to be careful not to lose any detail.
Let's extract the department description:
"The Department The Division of University Advancement is one of five central divisions of the university whose primary purpose is to enhance the private support and knowledge of the university. This is accomplished by initiating programs, events and activities that stimulate the involvement and interest of alumni, friends, parents, corporations and foundations to develop relationships that will foster and stimulate giving to the university. The office the Vice President of University Advancement oversees the offices of development, alumni and external relations, advancement services, annual giving and government and external affairs. The division manages and operates the Cal Poly Pomona Philanthropic Foundations which serves as the official entity to receive and manage all contributions to the University. Under the telework policy it is understood that your physical presence may be required on individual scheduled remote days based on the needs of the campus, division, department, or request of your HEERA Manager."
We need to keep that as prose. Could be a
. Now duties and responsibilities: The heading "Duties And Responsibilities" then two subheadings: "Program-Based Development Officer" and "University Advancement Leadership and Professional Responsibilities". Under each there are bullet-like sentences. We need to extract each duty as list item.

We can combine required and preferred into one Qualifications section, maybe separate subheadings? But we cannot add extra headings not in list
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should convert the duties into a list. The responsibilities paragraph includes multiple sentences each describing a duty. We can make each sentence a list item.
Similarly qualifications: we can list each requirement as bullet.
We need to be careful not to lose any detail.
