Director of Financial Aid

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - General Purpose (maybe "About the role") - Essential Duties And Responsibilities (Responsibilities) - Required Minimum Qualifications (Requirements/Qualifications) - Preferred Qualifications (maybe Qualifications or Skills) - Responsibility for Public Contact (maybe Skills? but could be part of responsibilities) - Salary Information (Pay) - Benefits (Benefits) - Schedule (Schedule) - Remote Work (maybe part of schedule) - Hours/Week and Months/Year (Schedule) - FLSA Status (maybe not needed) - Type of Position/Employment Category: Full-Time (maybe part of schedule) - Department: Financial Aid (maybe not needed) - etc. We need to include sections only if there is real specific content. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove application instructions. We need to preserve all substantive info. We need to format using

  for section headings. Use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to decide which sections to include. Potential sections: - About the role (General Purpose) - Responsibilities (Essential Duties And Responsibilities) - Requirements (Required Minimum Qualifications) - Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications) maybe combine with Requirements? But we can separate. - Skills (maybe from Responsibility for Public Contact? Or from Required Minimum Qualifications includes communication skills etc. Could be part of Requirements.) - Pay (Salary Information) - Benefits (Benefits) - Schedule (Schedule, Hours/Week, Remote Work, etc.) We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to ensure we don't create sections with placeholder. Let's extract content. General Purpose paragraph: "The Director of Financial Aid serves as a key member of the Enrollment Management leadership team and is responsible for the strategic and operational leadership of the financial aid office. The Director is required to maintain a high-functioning, compliant, and efficient financial aid operation. The ideal candidate will be an experienced, student-first professional prepared to modernize our aid programs, leverage cutting-edge tools, and build a best-in-class financial aid operation that directly supports enrollment growth, student retention, and institutional sustainability." That's prose. Responsibilities list: multiple bullet-like sentences. We'll convert each sentence into

  • . List: - Oversee all core aid processes: FAFSA processing, verification, packaging, disbursement, SAP reviews, R2T4 calculations, and student counseling and appeals. This includes managing required federal and state reporting (FISAP, IPEDS, Common Data Set, TAP/NYS aid reconciliations) and coordinating audits with Finance and external auditors. - Serve as the institution's primary Title IV compliance officer; ensure adherence to all federal, New York State, and institutional regulations governing financial aid. - Stay current with evolving federal and NY State aid regulations and proactively implement required changes; bringing a solutions-oriented mindset to complex regulatory challenges. - Partner with the VP for Enrollment Management and AVP for Admissions & Enrollment Technology, Marketing, Athletics, and Academic Affairs to develop and execute aid strategies that drive recruitment, yield, and retention.

We need to ensure we keep all details.

II Athletics and aid regulations. Responsibility for Public Contact: "Daily contact requiring courtesy, discretion, and sound judgment." Could be a skill or responsibility. Could be included under Skills or Responsibilities. Since it's a brief statement, maybe include under Skills as a bullet. Pay: Salary Information paragraph: "When determining the salary offer for a new employee, Molloy considers several key characteristics such as job knowledge, skills, and experience as well as internal and external equity. The hiring annual salary for this position is $120,000 to $135,000. This annual salary represents the University's good faith and reasonable estimate of the range of compensation at the time of posting." We need to keep that. Benefits: "As part of its total compensation package, Molloy University offers an extensive range of benefits and programs for its employees including excellent health and dental insurance options, generous time off and tuition benefits. For further information, please visit Benefits | Molloy University ." We need to keep that but remove the link? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. The link is part of the content; we can keep as plain text "Benefits | Molloy University". Probably okay. Schedule: We have: - TYPE OF POSITION/EMPLOYMENT CATEGORY: Full-Time - SCHEDULE: Monday-Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm Occasional evening or weekend work required: Enrollment events - Open House, Accepted Students Day, etc. - REMOTE WORK: No - HOURS/WEEK and MONTHS/YEAR: 35 hours/week and 52 weeks/year - FLSA STATUS: Exempt, Salaried We need to include schedule section with specifics. We should not include FLSA STATUS maybe not needed but could be part of schedule? The instruction says only create Schedule section if posting actually states them. It does state schedule, hours/week, remote work, etc. So we can include schedule details. We need to avoid duplication. We'll create a
    • for schedule items. We need to decide headings: Use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use those exact headings. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (General Purpose), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications), Skills (maybe from Responsibility for Public Contact and communication skills etc), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But the instruction says use those headings if we have content. We have both Required Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could make two sections: Requirements (for required) and Qualifications (for preferred). Or we could treat Qualifications as both required and preferred. But better to follow the instruction: Use headings as given. So we can have:

      About the role

      ...

      Responsibilities

      • ...
      ...

      Requirements

      • ...
      ...

      Qualifications

      • ...
      ...

      Skills

      • ...
      ...
      (maybe include Responsibility for Public Contact and communication skills etc, but communication skills already in Requirements; we could still include but might duplicate. Better to include only the public contact item.)

      Benefits

      ...

      Pay

      ...

      Schedule

      • ...
      ...
      We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler. All have content. Now we need to strip out boilerplate: Application Instructions, EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove "TYPE OF POSITION/EMPLOYMENT CATEGORY: Full-Time" maybe we include in Schedule. We need to preserve all substantive info: So we need to include the schedule details: Full-Time, Monday-Friday 9-5, occasional evening/weekend work required, remote work No, 35 hours/week 52 weeks/year, FLSA Exempt Salaried (maybe include). We'll include as list items. Now we need to ensure we don't include the "FLSA STATUS: Exempt, Salaried" as a separate heading; we can include under Schedule. Now we need to check for any duplicated lines: The posting includes "AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER ..." which we remove. Also remove "For further information, please visit Benefits | Molloy University ." We keep that as part of Benefits. Now we need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft. First, About the role: Use the General Purpose paragraph exactly. Second, Responsibilities: list each bullet. Third, Requirements: list each required qualification. Fourth, Qualifications: list each preferred qualification. Fifth, Skills: list "Daily contact requiring courtesy, discretion, and sound judgment." Could also include "Excellent communication skills" but that's already in Requirements; we could still include but might duplicate. Better to just include the public contact. Sixth, Benefits: paragraph. Seventh, Pay: paragraph. Eighth, Schedule: list items. Now ensure we use
      • for any list. For prose we use

        . Now check that we didn't miss any substantive info: The posting also includes "REMOTE WORK
