We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "Who we are", "What you will be responsible for", "What you’ll do", "Who you are", "Skills & Qualifications", "What we offer", "Compensation Range". Also maybe "Pay" section for compensation. Use

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

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading (the page already shows it). Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — none present. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, accommodation note, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information. We need to decide sections: "About the company" maybe from "Who we are". Could be "About the role"? Actually "Who we are" is about company. Could be "About the company". But instructions: use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They gave examples but we can use any appropriate heading. Probably we should map content to these headings. We have: - Who we are: company description. Could be "About the company" but not in list. Could use "About the role"? Not exactly. Maybe we can use "About the role" for responsibilities? Hmm. Better to follow the examples: Use headings for sections that exist: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Also maybe "About the role" for company overview? The instruction: "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". So we can use those exact headings if appropriate. We need to include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. We have content for: - About the role? Could be "Who we are" describing company and mission. That could be considered "About the role"? Might be okay. - Responsibilities: "What you will be responsible for" and "What you’ll do" (list of duties). Combine. - Requirements: maybe "Who you are" (desired traits). Could be "Requirements" or "Qualifications". There's also "Skills & Qualifications". So we have both. - Skills: "Skills & Qualifications" includes skills and qualifications. - Benefits: "What we offer" includes benefits. - Pay: "Compensation Range". - Schedule: not present, so omit. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual compensation range. We need to avoid duplication: "What you will be responsible for" and "What you’ll do" have overlapping content; we should combine into a single Responsibilities section with bullet list. Similarly, "Who you are" and "Skills & Qualifications" maybe combine into Requirements/Qualifications and Skills. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep each bullet point. Let's extract bullet points. From "What you will be responsible for:" paragraph: It's prose, not list. Then "What you’ll do:" then a list of bullet-like sentences each starting with a verb. We'll turn each into
  • . List: - Build and maintain the company’s financial operating model, providing project-level and portfolio-level visibility into capital needs, margins, cash flow, construction progress, and sales performance. - Own budgeting, rolling forecasts, cash flow planning, and variance analysis across individual projects and the broader portfolio. - Track project profitability and prepare lender and investor reporting. - Develop scenario models to support decisions on growth, financing, and liquidity. - Design and improve internal systems, dashboards, and reporting infrastructure, including front-end interfaces for executives and operators. - Improve data workflows and maintain data integrity across source systems so financial and operational data stays accurate, consistent, and timely. - Establish scalable processes for tracking land acquisitions, permits, construction costs, schedules, committed capital, inventory, sales pipeline, gross margins, and corporate overhead. - Oversee FP&A policies, reporting cadence, KPI definitions, model governance, and cross-functional accountability. - Partner across acquisitions, development, construction, accounting, capital markets, and executive leadership, translating operational activity into clear financial insight. Now "Who you are:" paragraph: It's prose describing traits. Could be turned into bullet list? It's not a list but we could keep as

    . However instruction: Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. This is not a list, so keep as

      . "Skills & Qualifications:" then bullet-like sentences: - Strong real estate development finance experience, ideally spanning the full project lifecycle from acquisition through home sale. - Advanced financial modeling skills, including operating models, forecasting, and scenario analysis. - Comfort with systems and BI tools, with experience building dashboards and reporting infrastructure. - Ability to communicate complex financial information clearly to both finance and non-finance stakeholders. - 10+ years in real estate / development finance and a degree in finance, accounting, or a related field; CPA or CFA a plus We could treat these as Requirements/Qualifications and Skills. Perhaps split: Requirements: 10+ years experience, degree; Qualifications: maybe same. But we can just have a "Skills" section with these bullets. But we also have "Who you are" which could be considered "Requirements" (desired traits). We could make a "Requirements" section with that paragraph. Better: Use "Requirements" for the "Who you are" traits (since they are about candidate). Use "Skills" for the bullet list. Now "What we offer:" paragraph: list of benefits: Opportunity to join an outstanding start-up team and grow a purpose –driven company from the ground up; Competitive salary package; Medical/dental/vision benefits; Equity in the company. We can turn into

      • . Now "Compensation Range: $180K - $215K". That's Pay section. Now "Who we are:" company description: Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe about the role itself, but we have responsibilities separate. Could use "About the company" but not in list. However we can use "About the role" to describe the company and mission? Might be okay. The instruction says we can use those examples; not required to stick exactly. We'll use "About the role" for company overview. Now we need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, accommodation note, etc. Also remove duplicated lines (none). Also remove application instructions (none). Also remove cookie/navigation/legal etc. Now produce HTML fragment with

        headings and appropriate

        or

          . Structure:

          About the role

          ...

          (company description)

          Responsibilities

          • ...
          • ...

          Requirements

          ...

          (who you are paragraph)

          Skills

          • ...
          • ...

          Benefits

          • ...
          • ...

          Pay

          Compensation Range: $180K - $215K

          Check that we didn't miss any substantive info: The company description includes mission, founders, investors, etc. Keep all. Now ensure we didn't repeat any content inadvertently. Let's copy company description exactly: "Who we are: Aro Homes is a thriving, purpose-driven company on a mission to redefine residential construction. Aro Homes was founded to create well designed, precision engineered homes that are beautiful, livable, and durable, while being built multiple times faster and having a positive impact on the environment. We are a diverse and experienced group of passionate and curious designers, builders, engineers, product developers, and businesspeople who are passionate about and committed to delivering on our mission. We’ve demonstrated there is a massive opportunity to reduce waste and improve sustainability while building homes in a fraction of the time it takes traditionally. We utilize a repeatable, multi-disciplinary, and product-driven approach which is unique in the industry. We are funded by world-class investors who care about transforming industries for the better, including Eric Schmidt’s Innovation Endeavors. If you share the desire to leave a lasting positive impact on the world and to join a strong culture of intelligent, passionate people, then let’s start a conversation." We need to keep all that. Remove "Who we are:" label? Probably keep as part of paragraph. We'll just include the sentences. Now responsibilities list: we need to ensure we captured all bullet points from "What you’ll do:" plus maybe the earlier paragraph "What you will be responsible for:" which is similar to first bullet. We'll include that as first bullet maybe duplicate? The earlier paragraph: "The Director of Finance will lead financial planning, forecasting, reporting, and performance management for Aro Homes, a residential infill developer operating across the full lifecycle from acquisitions and underwriting through construction, completion, and home sale. You will build and maintain the company’s financial operating model, ensuring accurate project-level and portfolio-level visibility into capital needs, margins, cash flow, construction progress, and sales performance. You will partner closely with acquisitions, development, construction, accounting, capital markets, and executive leadership to translate operational activity into clear financial insight. A significant part of the role is developing the systems, dashboards, and reporting infrastructure that keep financial and operational data accurate, consistent, timely, and actionable as the company scales." That's more detailed than the bullet list. We should incorporate that as prose or bullets. Since we already have bullet list for duties, we could keep that paragraph as a

          before the list, or incorporate into bullets. To preserve all substantive info, we should include that paragraph as well. However we must not duplicate content that appears later in bullet list (some overlap). The bullet list includes "Build and maintain the company’s financial operating model, providing project-level and portfolio-level visibility into capital needs, margins, cash flow, construction progress, and sales performance." That's similar to part of the paragraph. The paragraph also includes leading financial planning, forecasting, reporting, performance management; partnering closely; developing systems, dashboards, reporting infrastructure. We could keep the paragraph as a

          summarizing the role, and then the bullet list as specific duties. That's fine; not duplicate exactly but some overlap. It's okay to have some overlap as long as we preserve all info. The instruction says do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Overlap is not summarizing away; it's repeating but okay. Thus Responsibilities section:

          with the paragraph from "What you will be responsible for:" then

            with the bullet list from "What you’ll do:". Now Requirements: "Who you are:" paragraph. Now Skills: bullet list from "Skills & Qualifications:". Now Benefits: bullet list from "What we offer:". Now Pay: compensation range. Now ensure we removed EEO etc. Now produce HTML. Let's craft. Check for any stray punctuation. We'll output:
