Director of Finance & Operations

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually 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 need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions. So we need to extract: - Overview: description of school and position. Could be "About the role" section? The overview includes location, full-time exempt, reporting, etc. Could be placed under "About the role" or maybe "Overview". But instructions say use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content accordingly. We have: Overview: The Rashi School is Greater Boston’s Reform Jewish Independent School for Grades PK-8. Located in Dedham, Massachusetts, the school seeks an experienced leader and strategic thinker to serve as the Director of Finance & Operations (DFO). This full-time, exempt position is open July 1, 2027 or sooner. Reporting to the Head of School, the DFO manages a team of professionals and support staff tasked with financial reporting, budgeting, planning, purchasing, collections, legal compliance, technology infrastructure, risk management and human resources management. The DFO position requires close collaboration with the Head of School, leadership team, faculty, students, staff, parents, and the Board of Trustees to conduct the present and shape the future of the region’s remarkable PK-8 Jewish Independent School. That's about the role. So we can put under

About the role

with paragraphs. Key Responsibilities: list of duties. We'll put under

Responsibilities

with

• . Personal And Professional Skills And Qualifications: includes capabilities, abilities, etc. Could be split into Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide. The posting says: "Demonstrated capabilities in finance, accounting, human resources and operations in complex organizations with multiple departments and multimillion dollar operating budgets. Ability to develop, implement, manage and garner support for business systems and processes that support the goals of the school. Strategic thinking that drives organization efforts. Ability to deliver on ambitious goals and benchmarks. Exceptional listening, verbal, written, presentation skills with a trust-building focus and ability to lead collaboratively and through delegation. Curious, creative and energetic. Experience in a broad range of financial and investment matters. Mastery of generally accepted accounting principles and non-profit finances is a plus. Proficiency with applicable technology, including Microsoft Office and large scale multi-modular databases. Bachelor’s degree is required. Relevant advanced degrees desirable." We can categorize: - Requirements: Bachelor’s degree required. Relevant advanced degrees desirable. - Qualifications: Demonstrated capabilities in finance, accounting, HR, operations in complex orgs with multimillion dollar budgets; ability to develop/implement/manage business systems; strategic thinking; ability to deliver on ambitious goals; exceptional listening/verbal/written/presentation skills; curious, creative, energetic; experience in broad range of financial and investment matters; mastery of GAAP and non-profit finances a plus; proficiency with applicable technology including MS Office and large scale multi-modular databases. - Skills: maybe the same as qualifications? But we can separate: Skills: listening, verbal, written, presentation, leadership, collaboration, delegation, strategic thinking, financial analysis, budgeting, etc. However we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we can put all under Qualifications and Skills combined? But instructions say we can have sections only when posting has real specific content. We could have Qualifications and Skills separate if we can extract distinct items. Let's parse: Qualifications (maybe education/experience): Bachelor’s degree required; relevant advanced degrees desirable; demonstrated capabilities in finance, accounting, HR, operations in complex orgs with multimillion dollar budgets; experience in broad range of financial and investment matters; mastery of GAAP and non-profit finances a plus; proficiency with applicable technology, including MS Office and large scale multi-modular databases. Skills: Ability to develop, implement, manage and garner support for business systems and processes; strategic thinking; ability to deliver on ambitious goals and benchmarks; exceptional listening, verbal, written, presentation skills with trust-building focus and ability to lead collaboratively and through delegation; curious, creative and energetic. That seems reasonable. Physical Requirements: Able to sit, stand, type, twist, bend. Able to use telephone and computers. This could be a section but not in the list of allowed headings. The allowed headings are About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Physical Requirements not listed, so we should not create a heading for it. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information. If we cannot create a heading not in list, we could fold it into another section like Requirements or Qualifications? Probably we can include it under Requirements as a bullet? But the instruction says use those headings for section headings; we can still include other content under those headings. So we can add physical requirements under Requirements or Qualifications as a paragraph. Benefits, Pay, Schedule: Not mentioned in posting. So we should NOT create those sections. Also we have "About the Rashi School" description after "For Consideration". That's about the school mission etc. Could be placed under About the role? Or maybe we could add a section "About the School"? Not allowed headings. So we should incorporate that content into About the role or maybe a separate section not in list? The instruction says use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It seems they expect us to use those headings only. It also says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So we should only create those headings if content exists. For content about the school, we could put under About the role (makes sense). Or we could create a separate heading like "About the School" but that's not in the list; maybe it's okay but they gave examples not exhaustive. Safer to stick to the list. Thus we will have sections: - About the role (overview + school description) - Responsibilities (key responsibilities) - Requirements (education, physical requirements) - Qualifications (experience, capabilities, technical proficiency) - Skills (abilities, personal traits) We must not repeat the job title as a heading. So no

  Director of Finance & Operations

  . We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, application instructions, etc. Also remove "For Consideration" and the equal opportunity statement, and the contact info. Also remove "Physical Requirements" heading if we embed. We must preserve all substantive information: So we need to keep the school description, responsibilities list, qualifications, skills, physical requirements, etc. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's craft. First, About the role: combine overview and school description. Paragraph 1: Overview of school and position. Paragraph 2: About the Rashi School description (mission, values, etc.) We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "We seek to employ faculty and staff with diverse backgrounds who model these traits and our core values for our students and are eager to support Rashi in fulfilling its mission." That's substantive; keep. Now Responsibilities: list from "Key Responsibilities" bullet points. We'll convert each sentence into
• . Let's extract responsibilities list: - Provide organizational leadership and collaborate on planning, resource allocation, and operational matters to support the mission and objectives of the school. - Serve as a strategic advisor and functional expert to the senior team regarding matters of operational growth and the underlying financial strategy and as a member of committees of the Board of Trustees, such as Budget and Finance, Audit, and Investment. - Provide advice and counsel to the Head of School on matters of importance for the school’s health and sustainability regarding human resources, operations, physical plant, technology, financial resource management and risk management. - Partner with members of the senior team to enable a culture of learning and support for all staff through professional development, opportunities for on-the-job training, learning/stretch assignments. - Lead, supervise and articulate all business and financial activities. - Provide leadership and participate in the development and management of the annual operating budget, with an inclusive and comprehensive budgeting process. - Employ financial analysis and multifaceted modeling to produce strategic financial planning, including sensitivity/scenario analysis, long-range budgets, cash flow management, quarterly and annual financial statements, commentary and forecasting for the Head of School, senior team, Board of Trustees and others. - Collaborate with admissions to develop and administer pathways of affordability to lead the school’s annual financial aid program. - Leadership in the task forces on capital improvements and projects requiring significant investment. - Oversight of all areas of risk management, safeguarding the assets of the school including security of all types. - Maintain appropriate levels of insurance to protect the property and the potential liabilities of the School. - Ensure compliance with all fiduciary and regulatory obligations concerning the school’s financial position and holdings. - Serve as the primary contact for auditors, legal counsel, insurance broker, bank and investment institutions. We need to ensure we keep all. Now Requirements: Bachelor’s degree required. Relevant advanced degrees desirable. Physical requirements: Able to sit, stand, type, twist, bend. Able to use telephone and computers. We could make a
  for requirements? The instruction says use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can list requirements as list. Thus:

    Requirements

    • Bachelor’s degree required.
    • Relevant advanced degrees desirable.
    • Able to sit, stand, type, twist, bend.
    • Able to use telephone and computers.
    Now Qualifications: list of capabilities/experience/technical. We'll list: - Demonstrated capabilities in finance, accounting, human resources and operations in complex organizations with multiple departments and multimillion dollar operating budgets. - Ability to develop, implement, manage and garner support for business systems and processes that support the goals of the school. - Strategic thinking that drives organization efforts. - Ability to deliver on ambitious goals and benchmarks. - Experience in a broad range of financial and investment matters. - Mastery of generally accepted accounting principles and non-profit finances is a plus. - Proficiency with applicable technology, including Microsoft Office and large scale multi-modular databases. Now Skills: personal/professional skills. - Exceptional listening, verbal, written, presentation skills with a trust-building focus and ability to lead collaboratively and through delegation. - Curious, creative and energetic. We could also include "Ability to develop, implement, manage and garner support for business systems and processes" but that's already in qualifications. Keep as is. Now we need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The overview also mentions "This full-time, exempt position is open July 1, 2027 or sooner." That's a date; we should keep that in About the role. Also "Reporting to the Head of School, the DFO manages a team of professionals and support staff tasked with financial reporting, budgeting, planning, purchasing, collections, legal compliance, technology infrastructure, risk management and human resources management." Already in overview. Also "The DFO position requires close collaboration with the Head of School, leadership team, faculty, students, staff, parents, and the Board of Trustees to conduct the present and shape the future of the region’s remarkable PK-8 Jewish Independent School." Already. Now we need to check for any other substantive info like "The above is intended to describe the general content of and requirements for the performance of this position. It is not to be construed as an exhaustive statement of Duties, Respons
