Division Finance Manager
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: About the role (maybe summarizing mission and ADHS info), Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills, Benefits. Pay: we have Salary: 91,300 Grade: 24. That is pay info, so we should include Pay section. Schedule: not mentioned (flexible hours mentioned but not schedule specifics). We have "ADHS promotes alternative work schedules, flexible hours." That's schedule info but not specific. Might be enough for Schedule? The guideline: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state flexible hours, so we can include Schedule with that info. Benefits: we have robust benefit package including ADHS Student Loan Assistance Program up to $300 per month, plus later list of State benefits. So Benefits section.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. At end there is Equal Opportunity etc; remove.
We need to not repeat job title as heading. Job title is Division Finance Manager. So we won't put that as heading.
We need to include Job Location etc maybe as a short paragraph under About the role? The location: Address: 2500 E Van Buren St Phoenix, AZ 85008. Also posting details Salary: 91,300 Grade: 24. We'll put salary in Pay section. Location maybe in About the role as a short p.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So responsibilities list as ul. Requirements list as ul (maybe KSAs). Skills list as ul. Benefits list as ul.
We need to use
for prose.
We must not include headings with empty/filler. So only include sections where we have content.
Let's extract content:
About the role / Agency description: The mission statement, ADHS promotes alternative work schedules, flexible hours, positions for any career stage, robust benefit package including ADHS Student Loan Assistance Program up to $300 per month. Also location.
Responsibilities: The job summary includes many duties; also "Job Duties" list. We'll combine into responsibilities.

- Performs other duties as assigned related to the position.
That is a lot; we can keep as bullet list.
Requirements / Qualifications: Knowledge, Skills & Abilities (KSAs) section includes Knowledge Of, Skills In, Ability To, Selective Preference(s). Also Pre-Employment Requirements Driver's License (if needed). We'll treat as Requirements.
Let's extract:

Pre-Employment Requirements:
- Driver's License (if position requires driving or use of vehicle as essential function to conduct State business). We'll note as conditional.
We could also include that all newly hired State employees subject to E-Verify.
But that's boilerplate? Might be considered legal; but it's a requirement. The guideline says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. E-Verify might be considered legal; but it's a pre-employment requirement. Might keep? It's not EEO. It's a verification requirement. Might be okay to keep as part of Requirements.
But we can keep it brief: "All newly hired State employees are subject to and must successfully complete the Electronic Employment Eligibility Verification Program (E-Verify)."
Skills section: we already have Skills In list; but we also have Ability To list. Could combine Skills and Abilities into Skills section? The guideline suggests separate sections: Skills, Requirements, Qualifications. We have Knowledge as part of Requirements; Skills as Skills; Ability as maybe Qualifications? But we can put Ability under Skills as well. However we need to avoid duplication.
Simplify: Use Requirements for Knowledge and Selective Preference (education/experience). Use Skills for Skills In and Ability To (since they are abilities). Could also have Qualifications separate but not needed.
We'll create sections:
- About the role (prose + location)
- Responsibilities (ul)
- Requirements (ul) (knowledge + selective preference + driver license + e-verify)
- Skills (ul) (skills in + ability to)
- Benefits (ul) (list of benefits)
- Pay (p) salary and grade
- Schedule (p) flexible hours/alternative work schedules
Make sure not to include headings with empty content.
Now craft HTML.
We'll need to escape any special characters? Not needed.
Let's write.
