We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "For a full job description, please send an e-mail..." etc. Also remove "Position And Application Details" etc (application instructions). Also remove "Additional Information" maybe not needed unless contains substantive info like Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have location, schedule, compensation pay level, benefits description in "About The University Of Iowa" paragraph. Also "Classification Title", "Appointment Type", "Schedule: Full-time", "Work Modality Options: On Campus". Also "Compensation Pay Level: 3B". Also benefits: "exceptional health coverage, university-paid life insurance, robust retirement plans, generous leave policies. Benefit from 24/7 support services, well-being resources, and access to UI Health Care specialists. Grow professionally with advanced training, leadership development, and tuition assistance." Also location: "University Services Building (USB)". Also schedule: "8:00am-5:00pm, This position requires regular on-campus presence and is not eligible for remote or hybrid work arrangement." Also "This position is fully on campus." Also "Location: University Services Building (USB)". Also "Schedule: 8:00am-5:00pm". Also "Work Modality Options: On Campus". Also "Appointment Type: Professional and Scientific". Also "Classification Title: Admin Services Specialist". Also "Compensation Pay Level: 3B". Also "Benefits" from the UI paragraph. We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe a brief intro). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (maybe required qualifications). Qualifications (maybe desired qualifications). Skills (maybe list of skills from required/desired). Benefits (list from UI paragraph). Pay (if we have pay level). Schedule (if we have schedule). Must not create sections with placeholder or vague content. Must include only if real specific content. We have specific schedule: 8:00am-5:00pm, regular on-campus presence, not remote/hybrid. So we can include Schedule section with that info. Pay: we have "Compensation Pay Level: 3B". That's specific enough? It's a pay level, not a dollar amount but it's specific. We'll include Pay section with that. Benefits: we have specific list: exceptional health coverage, university-paid life insurance, robust retirement plans, generous leave policies, 24/7 support services, well-being resources, access to UI Health Care specialists, advanced training, leadership development, tuition assistance. That's specific. Location maybe could be part of About the role or separate? Not required heading but could be included in About the role paragraph. We'll include location in About the role. Now we need to parse duties list: The "Duties To Include" paragraph includes several sentences each describing duties. We'll turn each sentence into a
  • under
      . Must preserve all substantive info. Let's extract duties: - Independently prioritizes and coordinates executive and departmental administrative operations, including calendars, communications, meetings, records, logistics, follow-up activities, and workflow management based on urgency, operational impact, and leadership direction. - Determines and implements appropriate processes, tools, timelines, and communication strategies for reports, surveys, dashboards, recognition activities, administrative functions, and departmental communications, while interpreting and applying established policies and procedures. - Exercises delegated authority and discretion in administrative and HR-related matters, including routine transaction approvals, information sharing, issue resolution, and coordination with internal partners, while maintaining confidentiality and compliance with university policies. - Provides operational leadership and recommendations on non-routine matters, including supervision of student employees, analysis of workflow and customer service issues, and escalation of matters involving significant policy, financial, legal, compliance, personnel, or strategic implications to appropriate leadership. Also earlier paragraph: "In this highly visible role, you will provide executive-level administrative, organizational, and operational support to the Associate Vice President for Facilities Management and FM Directors. As a trusted point of contact for the Office of the AVP and FM Administration, you will coordinate priorities, communications, meetings, and follow-up; manage confidential and time-sensitive matters with professionalism and discretion; and help advance Facilities Management initiatives through responsive service and cross-functional collaboration. This position also supervises student employees who provide administrative support to the Office of the AVP." These are also duties/responsibilities. We should include them as part of responsibilities list. So combine. Now Required Qualifications list: each line bullet. - Bachelor’s degree in business administration or an equivalent combination of education and experience. - Professional experience, typically 1–3 years, in related administrative, operational, or program support. - Experience coordinating calendars, meetings, logistics, materials, and follow-up items. - Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities, deadlines, and time-sensitive requests. - Demonstrated discretion, sound judgment, and professionalism in handling confidential or sensitive matters. - Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills. - Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Office tools, including Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and SharePoint. - Demonstrated ability to work effectively and respectfully with individuals from a variety of backgrounds and perspectives. - Demonstrated commitment to providing responsive, service-oriented support to internal and external customers. Desired Qualifications list: - Five or more years of progressively responsible administrative, executive, or program support experience. - Experience providing direct support to executive or senior-level leadership. - Experience interpreting, applying, and communicating university policies, procedures, and regulations. - Experience in higher education facilities management or a complex institutional setting. - Experience developing reports, dashboards, surveys, tracking tools, or presentation materials. - Experience coordinating cross-functional programs, committees, or working groups. - Experience supervising student employees. We could put Required Qualifications under Requirements section, and Desired Qualifications under Qualifications section. Or combine both under Requirements and Qualifications as per instruction: they want sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. We have "Required Qualifications" and "Desired Qualifications". Could treat Required as Requirements, Desired as Qualifications. Skills could be extracted from both: e.g., organizational skills, communication skills, discretion, judgment, proficiency with MS Office, ability to work with diverse backgrounds, commitment to service, etc. But we might also put those under Skills. However we must not duplicate content. The instruction: "Use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can have those sections. We need to decide content for each. We could put: - About the role: introductory paragraph summarizing role, location, etc. - Responsibilities: list of duties (including the earlier paragraph and duties list). - Requirements: Required Qualifications. - Qualifications: Desired Qualifications. - Skills: maybe a list of skills derived from both required and desired (like organizational skills, communication, MS Office, etc.) but we must avoid duplication. Could instead put Skills as a list of specific skills like "Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Office tools (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint)", "Strong organizational skills", "Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills", "Demonstrated discretion, sound judgment, and professionalism", "Ability to work effectively with diverse backgrounds", "Commitment to service-oriented support". That's basically from Required Qualifications. But then Requirements would be just education and experience? Might be okay. But we must preserve ALL substantive information. If we split, we need to ensure nothing lost. Let's think: Required Qualifications includes education, experience, specific experience, skills, etc. Desired Qualifications includes more experience, etc. If we put Required under Requirements and Desired under Qualifications, we still have all. Skills section could be omitted if we feel it's redundant. But we need to include sections only when posting has real specific content for it. We could omit Skills if we think it's covered elsewhere. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But they gave examples of headings; we can choose to include only those with content. We could include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (combining required and desired), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's 5 sections. That seems fine. Skills could be omitted. But we need to ensure we don't lose the "Skills" like MS Office proficiency etc. Those are in Required Qualifications, so they'd be in Requirements section. Thus sections: - About the role: intro paragraph (including location, reporting to AVP, supervising student employees, etc.) - Responsibilities: list of duties (including the earlier paragraph and the duties list) - Requirements: combine Required and Desired Qualifications (maybe separate subheadings? but we cannot add extra headings beyond h3. Could just list all as
    • under Requirements, maybe differentiate with text? But we need to preserve all info; we can just list them all as items. However we might want to separate required vs desired for clarity but not required. Could add a note like "Required:" and "Desired:" within
    • but that's okay. - Benefits: list from UI paragraph. - Pay: "Compensation Pay Level: 3B" - Schedule: "8:00am-5:00pm, regular on-campus presence, not eligible for remote or hybrid work arrangement." We must not include boilerplate like "For a full job description, please send an e-mail..." etc. Also remove "Position And Application Details", "Additional Information", "Classification Title", "Appointment Type", "Work Modality Options". However some of those contain info like "Appointment Type: Professional and Scientific" and "Work Modality Options: On Campus". Those could be considered part of About the role or maybe we could include them in About the role or Requirements? But they are not duplicated elsewhere. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to keep that info somewhere. Where to put? Could include in About the role or maybe a separate section like "Appointment Type" but not in headings list. Since we only allowed those headings, we could embed that info in About the role paragraph. For example: "This is a full-time, Professional and Scientific appointment, on-campus." Also "Classification Title: Admin Services Specialist" could be included. Also "Compensation Pay Level: 3B" we already have Pay section. So we need to incorporate Classification Title and Appointment Type and Work Modality Options into About the role or maybe Responsibilities? Probably About the role. Thus About the role paragraph will include: role title (but we must not repeat job title as heading; we can mention it in paragraph). It says: "Bring your organizational expertise... to the University of Iowa Facilities Management team as an Executive Administrative Specialist." That's the job title. We can keep that sentence in About the role. Add location: University Services Building (USB). Add schedule: full-time, Professional and Scientific appointment, on-campus. Add classification title: Admin Services Specialist. Also mention that position is not eligible for University sponsorship for employment authorization (that's substantive). Also mention that this position supervises student employees (already in duties). Also mention that this position is not eligible for remote/hybrid (we have schedule). Also mention that this position requires regular on-campus presence. Now Responsibilities: we need to list all duties. Let's compile list items: From intro paragraph: - Provide executive-level administrative, organizational, and operational support to the Associate Vice President for Facilities Management and FM Directors. - Serve as a trusted point of contact for the Office of the AVP and FM Administration. - Coordinate priorities, communications, meetings, and follow-up. - Manage confidential and time-sensitive matters with professionalism and discretion. - Help advance Facilities Management initiatives through responsive service and cross-functional collaboration. - Supervise student employees who provide administrative support to the
