We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the job description and extract sections. Let's identify content: - About the role: description of role, mission, etc. The first paragraph: "At UIndy, we cultivate a vibrant..." up to "The Director of Housing and Residence Life serves as the senior executive leader..." That's about role. - Responsibilities: likely the "Essential Functions" sections: Strategic Leadership & Organizational Vision, Housing Rate Setting..., Enterprise System Administration..., Crisis Management, Compliance & Student Support. Those are responsibilities. - Requirements/Minimum Qualifications: Education, Experience, Supervision, Technical Aptitude, Crisis Management. - Preferred Qualifications: Leadership, Software Expertise, Strategic Thinking, Budgetary Oversight. - Benefits: listed: Medical Insurance, Vision Insurance, Dental Insurance, Life Insurance, Tuition Discount, Retirement Savings Plan - 403B, Paid Vacation and Sick Time Accruals, Paid Holiday time and additional University days off, Employee Discounts & Services, Free Parking, Onsite Health & Wellness Center. - Pay: Not mentioned. No salary. So we should NOT include Pay section. - Schedule: Mentioned: "This is a live-off position, including occasional evening and weekend responsibilities, shared collaboratively with the Housing and Residence Life team. The incumbent of this role serves in the senior-level on-call rotation, providing administrative support and crisis intervention during after-hours emergencies." That's schedule info (occasional evening/weekend, on-call). So we can include Schedule section. - Skills: Not explicitly listed separate; could be derived but we should not invent. Probably no separate Skills section. - Qualifications: we have Requirements and Preferred Qualifications; we could combine into Requirements and Qualifications sections? The instruction says use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need separate Requirements and Qualifications sections. Requirements = minimum qualifications. Qualifications = preferred qualifications. Thus sections: About the role (maybe use About the role heading), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Schedule. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

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

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details from each section. Let's extract prose for About the role: The first paragraph(s) up to "The Director of Housing and Residence Life serves as the senior executive leader..." Might be multiple sentences. We'll capture that as a

    . Then Responsibilities: we have several bullet-like sections under Essential Functions. They are headings within the description but we need to turn them into list items under Responsibilities. The content includes multiple paragraphs under each heading. We need to preserve all substantive info; we can make each heading a list item with its description as part of the li (maybe using

    inside li? But instruction: Use

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

      for prose. So for a list, we should have

      • ... text ...
      . If the li contains multiple sentences, that's fine. We can include line breaks? Probably just plain text. Thus for Responsibilities, we create a
        with each essential function as a li containing the heading and its description. Similarly for Requirements: list items for Education, Experience, Supervision, Technical Aptitude, Crisis Management. Qualifications: list items for Leadership, Software Expertise, Strategic Thinking, Budgetary Oversight. Benefits: list items for each benefit. Schedule: prose describing occasional evening/weekend responsibilities and on-call rotation. We must not include boilerplate like "Thank you for your interest..." etc. Also remove Company Description? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The Company Description includes mission statement etc. Is that considered boilerplate? It's substantive about the university but maybe not required? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The Company Description is substantive about the university; but is it considered boilerplate? It's not EEO etc. It's a description of the university. Might be considered part of job posting but not required sections. However we have no heading for Company Description; we could incorporate into About the role? The About the role currently includes description of department and role. The Company Description is separate paragraph about university mission etc. Could be considered part of About the role? Might be okay to include as prose under About the role. But we must not invent headings. We could add another

        after the role description containing the company description. That would preserve info. But we need to decide: The instruction says "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we should include the company description somewhere. Since we have no specific heading for it, we can just add a

        after the About the role paragraph (or before Responsibilities). That seems okay. We must not include EEO statements etc. The company description includes equal opportunity employer lines at the end; we must remove those. The company description paragraph ends with "If you want to join our dynamic experience..." then there is EEO block. We need to cut off before EEO. So we include up to "If you want to join our dynamic environment and experience hard work, creativity, and teamwork, we welcome your application!" and stop before EEO. Thus we will include that as a paragraph. Now let's extract exact text. I'll copy relevant sections. About the role paragraph(s): "At UIndy, we cultivate a vibrant, close-knit residential community on the Southside of Indianapolis. Serving a diverse student body of over 4,200 total students, our department oversees the vibrant home-away-from-home for 1,700 campus residents. We bridge classroom learning with everyday community through six distinctive residence halls housing approximately 900 students, alongside three bustling apartment complexes home to 800 upper-division students. Joining our team means shaping an engaging, inclusive environment where dynamic educational programming, student leadership development, and meaningful relationships empower Greyhounds to thrive. The Director of Housing and Residence Life serves as the senior executive leader for the University’s comprehensive residential enterprise within the Division of Student Affairs and Student Success. Reporting to the Associate Dean of Students, this role provides vision, strategic alignment, and operational leadership across all residential life programs and housing operations for UIndy’s 1,700 on-campus residents across our six residence halls and three apartment communities. The Director directly supervises professional staff members, including the Associate Director for Residence Life and the Coordinator for Housing Operations, fostering a high-performing team dedicated to student engagement, wellbeing, belonging, and success. As the administrative head of the department, the Director bridges business operations with student development, ensuring an integrated residential experience that supports institutional enrollment and student success goals. This is a live-off position, including occasional evening and weekend responsibilities, shared collaboratively with the Housing and Residence Life team. The incumbent of this role serves in the senior-level on-call rotation, providing administrative support and crisis intervention during after-hours emergencies." Note: The last two sentences about live-off position and on-call rotation are actually schedule info; but they appear in the role description. We might want to move schedule info to Schedule section. However the instruction says to include a section only when posting has real specific content. The schedule info is present; we can extract it to Schedule section and not duplicate. So we should remove those sentences from About the role paragraph to avoid duplication. Let's separate. Thus About the role paragraph will be up to "ensuring an integrated residential experience that supports institutional enrollment and student success goals." Then we will have Schedule section with the live-off position sentence. Now Responsibilities: Essential Functions sections: 1. Strategic Leadership & Organizational Vision - Provide strategic direction and administrative vision for Housing and Residence Life, aligning operational systems and residential life initiatives with institutional priorities. - Directly supervise, mentor, and evaluate professional staff (Associate Director for Residence Life and Coordinator for Housing Operations), promoting professional growth, clear performance benchmarks, and departmental accountability. - Formulate and execute multi-year strategic plans, policy frameworks, and residential living-learning strategies aimed at enhancing student persistence, sense of belonging, and retention. - Lead departmental assessment efforts by designing data-informed evaluation metrics regarding occupancy trends, student satisfaction, facility utilization, and learning outcomes. 2. Housing Rate Setting, Fiscal Leadership & Auxiliary Contracting - Establish annual housing room-and-board rates, rate tiers, and occupancy financial models in coordination with division and institution leadership. - Oversee all apartment leasing and contract processes, in partnership with the Coordinator for Operations, serving as the senior contract manager for university-managed and third-party apartment properties. - Develop and implement a marketing plan designed to increase housing occupancy and revenue growth. - Direct comprehensive departmental operating budgets, prioritizing strategic allocation of funds for residential programming, facility upgrades, operational technology, and staff development. - Serve as the senior university liaison for auxiliary campus partnerships, ensuring high contract performance standards for dining service administration and third-party property management. - Champion capital improvement projects, space allocation priorities, and long-term facility master planning in collaboration with Facilities Management. 3. Enterprise System Administration & Operational Infrastructure - Serve as the primary System Administrator for all housing and auxiliary software platforms (e.g., Housing.Cloud), ensuring system stability, workflow optimization, user permission control, and data integrity. - Partner with Information Technology to direct technical data integrity efforts, system upgrades, custom reporting, and automated data synchronization between the housing enterprise system and the Student Information System (SIS/Banner). - Oversee the end-to-end administration of housing contract workflows, room selection engine configurations, fee schedules, damage assessments, and break housing processes. - Establish policy standards and governance for campus-wide residential access control systems and key management protocols in partnership with IT and Campus Police. - Guide the operational direction of campus facilities within the unit's portfolio, such as the Schwitzer Student Center and the Fitness Hub, ensuring alignment with student needs. 4. Crisis Management, Compliance & Student Support - Participate in the senior-level administrative on-call rotation, providing leadership and directive guidance during critical after-hours campus emergencies. - Collaborate closely with the Associate Dean of Students, Greyhound Support Team (BIT), and student conduct officers to support residential students of concern and manage high-level behavioral interventions. - Ensure departmental compliance with all federal, state, and institutional mandates, including Title IX, FERPA, Clery Act, and VAWA guidelines. - Build strong collaborative partnerships across Academic Affairs, Student Affairs & Student Success, University Events, Disability Resources, and Financial Aid to promote a holistic student experience. We need to preserve all that. We'll make each essential function a

      • containing the heading bold? Not needed; just plain text. We'll include the heading as part of the li text. Now Requirements/Minimum Qualifications: Education: Master’s degree in Higher Education Administration, Student Personnel, Counseling, Business Administration, or a related field.
