We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro paragraph about Gordon College location, mission, etc. That's about the role? Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the college". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections apply. We have: - Description of college and mission: could be "About the role" or maybe "About the college". Since they said "About the role" as example, we can use that for overview. - Then "Essential Duties and Responsibilities" with subheadings: Recruitment & Enrollment Management (Primary Responsibility), Student Retention & Success, Teaching, Program Administration. Those are responsibilities. - Then "Qualifications" with Required and Preferred bullet points. - Then "Core Competencies" maybe could be Skills? The instruction includes Skills section. Core competencies could be placed under Skills. - Then "Work Environment" maybe could be Schedule? It mentions occasional evening and weekend commitments, some travel. That's schedule info. - Then "Anticipated salary range: $75,000 – $85,000 commensurate with experience." That's Pay. However they said do NOT include Pay section unless posting actually states them, and avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". The posting includes salary range with "commensurate with experience". The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". So we cannot include Pay section if it only contains that phrase? It includes a range plus "commensurate with experience". The phrase "commensurate with experience" is filler. But we have a range. Is that considered filler? The instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. It doesn't say we cannot include a range if accompanied by filler. It says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", ...). So if we include Pay section, the content would be "$75,000 – $85,000 commensurate with experience." That includes filler phrase. Might be considered filler? The instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. It doesn't say we cannot have filler within the content; it's about the heading being followed by filler/placeholder text. If we put the salary range and then the phrase, it's not just filler; it's a range plus filler. Might be okay? Safer to omit Pay section because it includes filler phrase. However they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting does state salary range, so we could include Pay. But we must avoid filler/placeholder text. The phrase "commensurate with experience" is typical filler; maybe we should omit that phrase and just give the range. But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot invent or summarize away detail. Removing "commensurate with experience" would be removing detail? It's not substantive; it's filler. So we could keep the range and drop the filler phrase. That would be preserving substantive info (the range) and not including filler. That seems acceptable. - Schedule: Work Environment mentions occasional evening and weekend commitments, some travel. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that. - Benefits: Not mentioned. So omit Benefits. - Skills: Core Competencies list: Mission alignment and Christian character; Sales and relationship-driven recruitment mindset; Student-centered advising and mentorship; Data-informed decision making; Collaborative, team-oriented leadership style. Those are skills. So we can put under Skills. - Requirements: Could be Qualifications? The instruction includes Requirements and Qualifications separate. We have Qualifications (Required and Preferred). We could map Required to Requirements, Preferred to Qualifications? Or we could combine. But we need to follow headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We have both Required and Preferred. Could treat Required as Requirements, Preferred as Qualifications. Or we could put all under Qualifications and leave Requirements empty (but we must not emit heading with filler). Better to split: Requirements = Required qualifications; Qualifications = Preferred qualifications. That seems logical. - About the role: The introductory paragraph about Gordon College and mission, plus hybrid administrative/faculty role description. That could be About the role. Now we need to output HTML fragment with

headings and appropriate

or

  • . We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Remove those lines. We must preserve all substantive info: location, mission, role description, duties, responsibilities, qualifications, core competencies, work environment (schedule), salary range. Let's extract substantive info: Intro: "Located on Boston’s North Shore, a beautiful coastal area in a classic New England town with easy access to the Boston area, Gordon College is dedicated to a strong Christian liberal arts perspective. We strive to foster conversation at the intersection of faith and cultural engagement in a wide variety of disciplines, all with the mission to prepare Christian men and women to actively participate in every community in which they find themselves. We seek someone with a background in sales or other areas of business, who is an active Christian, passionate about preparing and mentoring students from diverse cultural backgrounds in a Christian liberal arts setting. The Director of the MBA Program provides strategic leadership for the recruitment, enrollment, and retention of MBA students, while also contributing to the academic mission of Gordon College through undergraduate teaching. This is a hybrid administrative/faculty role, with primary emphasis (approximately 75%) on program growth, student recruitment, and retention, and the rest dedicated to undergraduate teaching within the School of Business. The Director serves as the public face of the MBA program and works to advance the College's mission by integrating Christian faith and values into graduate business education." That's the overview. Now Responsibilities: Under Essential Duties and Responsibilities: Recruitment & Enrollment Management (Primary Responsibility): - Develop and execute a comprehensive recruitment strategy to meet or exceed MBA enrollment goals. - Serve as the primary point of contact for prospective MBA students throughout the admissions cycle. - Represent the MBA program at recruitment events, information sessions, career fairs, church and community partnerships, and corporate outreach events. - Build and maintain relationships with corporate partners, alumni, ministries, and community organizations to generate qualified student leads. - Collaborate with the Admissions and Marketing departments to develop print, digital, and social media recruitment materials that reflect the College’s Christian mission. - Track and analyze recruitment metrics (inquiries, applications, admits, yield) and adjust strategy accordingly. - Conduct one-on-one advising sessions with prospective students regarding program fit, curriculum, and career outcomes. Student Retention & Success: - Develop and implement retention initiatives to support MBA student persistence and timely completion. - Monitor student academic progress and proactively intervene to address barriers to success. - Foster a cohort-based community experience that aligns with the College's mission of mentorship and spiritual formation. - Gather and respond to student feedback to continuously improve the MBA student experience. - Coordinate orientation, advising, and networking events for current MBA students. Teaching: - Teach undergraduate business courses each semester as assigned by the School Dean. - Integrate a Christian worldview into course content and classroom instruction. - Maintain regular office hours and provide mentorship to undergraduate students. - Participate in course development, assessment, and curriculum review as needed.

Some travel may be required. Note: The sentence is slightly garbled: "This position is based may require occasional evening and weekend commitments..." Probably means "This position is based ... may require occasional evening and weekend commitments..." We'll keep as is. Salary: - Anticipated salary range: $75,000 – $85,000 commensurate with experience. We'll output Pay section with just the range (maybe we can include "Anticipated salary range: $75,000 – $85,000". We'll drop "commensurate with experience"). Now we need to decide headings: - About the role (h3) -> p with overview paragraph(s). Could be multiple paragraphs but we can combine into one

    maybe with line breaks? We'll keep as one

    . - Responsibilities (h3) -> we could have subheadings? Not allowed; only use

    for section headings. Inside we can use
    • for each duty group. Could also have subheadings inside

      but not required. We'll just list all responsibilities as a flat list? Better to group under subheadings using or

      but not heading. We'll keep as

      • for each bullet. Could also separate groups with

        headings like

        Recruitment & Enrollment Management

        then list. That's acceptable. - Requirements (h3) -> Required qualifications list as
        • . - Qualifications (h3) -> Preferred qualifications list as
          • . - Skills (h3) -> Core Competencies list as
            • . - Pay (h3) ->

              with salary range. - Schedule (h3) ->

              with work environment sentence. We must not include Benefits. Now ensure we don't repeat job title. Not included. Check for any boilerplate: We removed application instructions, EEO, etc. Now produce HTML fragment. Let's craft. We'll need to escape any HTML special characters? Not needed. We'll output:
