  Make sure not to include extra headings like Benefits or Schedule. Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The posting also mentions "Attachments RIVERE Job Description_ Executive Director.pdf" and "How To Apply" etc. Those are application instructions, which we should remove per instruction: remove application instructions. So we drop that. Also "Share Share Share Share email Share" etc boilerplate removed. Now ensure we didn't repeat job title as heading. Good. Now check for any placeholders like "commensurate with experience" etc not present. Now produce final HTML. Let's craft the position summary text exactly as given: "The Executive Director (ED) serves as the chief executive leader of RIVERE, driving strategic direction, financial growth, operational development, and stakeholder mobilization. Reporting directly to the Board of Directors, the Executive Director will lead RIVERE through a critical transition from its foundational startup phase into rapid organizational expansion. Key priorities include co-leading the capital campaign alongside the Board of Directors, overseeing startup nonprofit infrastructure development, supervising staff and operational systems, establishing the center's earned revenue coworking model, and managing complex public-private partnerships. The Executive Director works in close collaboration with project leads, the Operations Manager, board leadership, and key institutional partners." We'll put that in a

  . Now responsibilities list: We'll keep each bullet as

• with the heading bold? Not required but we can keep the text as is. We need to ensure we don't lose any sub-bullets. The responsibilities sections have headings like "Strategic Direction & Startup Execution (In partnership with the founder and board of directors)" then bullet points. We could treat each heading as part of the list item text. Eg:
• Strategic Direction & Startup Execution (In partnership with the founder and board of directors): Organizational Scaling: ...
but that would combine multiple bullets. Better to make each heading as a list item? But the instruction: use
• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So each duty should be a list item. The headings are not duties but categories. We could incorporate them as part of the list item text, but we need to preserve all substantive information. We could make each heading a separate list item (maybe without bullet? but still
• ). That would be okay. Simplify: For each bullet under a heading, create a list item that includes the heading and the bullet text. Eg:
• Strategic Direction & Startup Execution (In partnership with the founder and board of directors) - Organizational Scaling: Define and execute strategic growth plans that transition RIVERE from initial startup planning to full facility operation and regional presence.
But that duplicates heading for each bullet. Could instead make a list item for the heading (no further detail) and then sublist? But we cannot nest ul? Not prohibited but we could. However instruction: use
• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid nested lists. But to keep simple, we can make each duty a separate list item, preserving the heading as part of the duty text. Thus we will produce list items like:
• Strategic Direction & Startup Execution (In partnership with the founder and board of directors): Organizational Scaling: Define and execute strategic growth plans that transition RIVERE from initial startup planning to full facility operation and regional presence.
• Strategic Direction & Startup Execution (In partnership with the founder and board of directors): Board Governance & Collaboration: Partner closely with the Founder & Chairperson of the Board and the Board of Directors; prepare board packets, track governance metrics, support board expansion, and implement board committee charters.
• Strategic Direction & Startup Execution (In partnership with the founder and board of directors): Consultant & Advisory Management: Lead direct collaboration with external advisory teams, including CIMA Consulting (project leadership, financial modeling, campaign strategy) and architectural/engineering partners.
Similarly for other sections. We'll need to ensure we include all bullet points. Let's enumerate all duties: Strategic Direction & Startup Execution: - Organizational Scaling: Define and execute strategic growth plans that transition RIVERE from initial startup planning to full facility operation and regional presence. - Board Governance & Collaboration: Partner closely with the Founder & Chairperson of the Board and the Board of Directors; prepare board packets, track governance metrics, support board expansion, and implement board committee charters. - Consultant & Advisory Management: Lead direct collaboration with external advisory teams, including CIMA Consulting (project leadership, financial modeling, campaign strategy) and architectural/engineering partners. Capital Campaign & Comprehensive Fundraising: - Capital Campaign Leadership: Drive campaign readiness and execution in partnership with the Board and campaign consultants; cultivate, solicit, and steward major individual donors, family foundations, and corporate partners. - Institutional Funding Pipeline: Oversee grant strategy, proposal development, and funder relations across federal, state, and private foundation sources. - Don
