Director of Finance, Procurement and Systems, Campus Dining

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of University Services, Campus Dining, role description. We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We have content: description of role (overview) could be "About the role". Responsibilities are listed under "Responsibilities" heading in the posting. Qualifications are listed under "Qualifications". There's also "Preferred Qualifications". Could combine into Qualifications section. There's also "Skills" maybe not explicit; but we could infer from qualifications but better not to create unless explicit. There's Pay: Salary Range $168,000 to $188,000. Also Standard Weekly Hours 36.25, Eligible for Overtime No, Benefits Eligible Yes, Probationary Period 180 days, etc. So we can have Pay and Schedule sections. Benefits: mention comprehensive benefit program. So we can include Benefits. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove cover letter requirement line? It's application instruction; we should remove. Also remove "Standard Weekly Hours 36.25 Eligible for Overtime No Benefits Eligible Yes Probationary Period 180 days Essential Services Personnel (see Policy For Detail) No Physical Capacity Exam Required Yes Valid Driver’s License Required No Experience Level Director". That's metadata; we can fold into short p or drop. We need to preserve substantive info: salary range, weekly hours, overtime eligibility, benefits eligibility, probation period. Could put in Pay and Schedule sections. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Structure:

We might also include probation period? Could add to Schedule or separate? Not required heading. Could add to Schedule p. We must preserve all substantive information: also mention that role reports to AVP Finance & Administration, dotted line to AVP Campus Dining, leads team of three direct reports and approx eight FTEs, etc. That belongs in About the role or Responsibilities? Probably About the role. Also mention collaboration with Finance and Treasury, Provost's Office, University Services IT, OIT. Also mention overseeing financial planning, budgeting, etc. That's responsibilities. We need to ensure we don't invent or summarize away detail. Keep details. Let's extract About the role content: The first paragraph about University Services, Campus Dining, role description. We'll condense but keep all details? We must preserve ALL substantive information; cannot invent or summarize away detail. Summarizing may lose detail. But we can rephrase but must keep all facts. It's tricky: we need to keep all substantive info but can rephrase. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Means we cannot omit details, but we can rephrase? Probably we should keep the details but can rewrite sentences as long as we don't lose info. Safer to keep close to original but maybe shorten? Risk of summarizing away detail. Better to keep the original sentences but maybe break into paragraphs. We'll include the description of University Services and Campus Dining as part of About the role.

We need to ensure we don't include the incomplete sentence at end: "ongoing financial". The original text cut off: "ongoing financial". We'll keep as is? Might be incomplete; but we should preserve as given. Probably it's "ongoing financial analysis". But we cannot invent. We'll keep the phrase as is: "ongoing financial". Might be weird but okay.
