Director of Research and Evaluation

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present with content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must include sections only if posting has real specific content. We have: - Position Summary (maybe "About the role"? The instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings. The posting includes Position Summary, Responsibilities And Initiatives (with subheadings), Requirements (Education and Experience, Knowledge, Skills And Abilities, Additional Requirements, Physical Requirements), Benefits (actually a paragraph about NHF). Also Salary Range and Work Schedule are given, so we need Pay and Schedule sections. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience" in Pay section? The instruction: 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. The posting states Salary Range: $125,000.00 - $135,000.00, commensurate with experience and qualifications. That's specific numbers, but includes "commensurate with experience and qualifications". Is that considered filler? It's part of the salary description; but the instruction says avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". However that phrase is part of the salary range description; maybe we should still include the range but we could phrase as "$125,000 - $135,000". The instruction says 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. It doesn't say we must omit the phrase; just that we shouldn't have a heading with only filler text. Since we have actual numbers, we can include them. We could include the range and maybe note "commensurate with experience and qualifications" as part of the text; but that phrase is filler? Might be okay if we include the range plus that phrase? Safer to include just the range and maybe note that it's commensurate with experience? The instruction says avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". So we should not include that phrase. We'll output Pay section with the range only. Schedule: "Onsite Monday through Thursday; Remote work Friday". That's specific, we can include. Benefits: The posting includes a paragraph about NHF under "Benefits ABOUT NATIONAL HEALTH FOUNDATION". Actually it's a description of the organization, not benefits like health insurance etc. But the heading "Benefits" is present in the posting (the word Benefits appears as a heading before the paragraph). The content is about NHF mission. That's not typical benefits but it's the only content under that heading. Should we include Benefits section? The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. The Benefits heading is followed by a paragraph describing NHF. That's specific content (though not typical benefits). So we should include Benefits section with that paragraph. We also need to include About the role? The posting has Position Summary. That could map to About the role. We'll use h3 About the role and put the Position Summary paragraph. Responsibilities: The posting has "Responsibilities And Initiatives" with subheadings. We'll combine into a single Responsibilities section with ul li for each bullet? The content is paragraphs under each subheading. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities are not explicitly bullet list but we can treat each responsibility area as list items. We'll extract each bolded subheading as a list item with its description. Similarly Requirements: we have Education and Experience, Knowledge, Skills And Abilities, Additional Requirements, Physical Requirements. We'll make a Requirements section with ul li for each of those categories, preserving details. Qualifications? The posting doesn't have a separate Qualifications heading; but Requirements covers qualifications. We could still include Qualifications if we want but better to follow instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We'll combine Education and Experience, Knowledge, Skills And Abilities, Additional Requirements, Physical Requirements under Requirements. Skills: Not separate; could be part of Knowledge, Skills And Abilities. We'll not create separate Skills. Pay: h3 Pay with salary range. Schedule: h3 Schedule with work schedule. Benefits: h3 Benefits with NHF description. We must not include any boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present. Now craft HTML. We'll output:

  About the role

  Position Summary ...

  Responsibilities

  • Research & Evaluation Leadership: ... (the paragraph)
  ... etc
