We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading with filler/placeholder text. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to extract substantive info: The posting includes description of role, responsibilities, qualifications, salary range, hybrid work model (schedule?), maybe benefits? Not explicit benefits listed. There's mention of hybrid work model: three days a week in office. That's schedule info. Also mention of location preference: northeast US offices, hybrid. Could treat schedule as "Hybrid work model: three days a week in office". Pay: salary range $90,000-$152,000. Responsibilities: many bullet-like sentences. Could list as

    • . Requirements: Undergraduate degree in finance, accounting or business. Advanced degree a plus. Minimum of five years’ related experience. Commercially astute with sound business acumen. Possibly also "Finance Business Partner - Project Control" but that's title. Skills: maybe "Commercially astute with sound business acumen" is skill. Also maybe "financial reporting and analysis, project financial support, internal and external compliance, pricing/commercial support, profit & loss review, month-end close support". Those are responsibilities. We need to decide sections: Could have About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (list), Pay (salary range), Schedule (hybrid model). Benefits: not given, so omit. Skills: maybe combine with Requirements? Could have Qualifications (education+experience) and Skills (commercially astute). But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements and Skills into one "Qualifications and Skills". But spec says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include only those with real content. We have content for: About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (education, experience). Skills (commercially astute). Pay (salary range). Schedule (hybrid work model). Benefits: none, omit. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all responsibilities listed. Let's extract responsibilities sentences: From description: - Working closely with Finance Manager and key stakeholders to drive optimal financial performance by influencing, analyzing, interpreting and communicating key performance indicators - Providing trusted financial advice to key stakeholders to align business direction, financial strategies and utilizing a variety of data sources to support sound decision making - Assisting in preparation of financial reporting and provides valuable analysis and insights - Assisting in Pricing / Commercial Analysis support for project proposals and projects - Analyzing and reviewing actual vs budgeted expenses account on the Profit and Loss Statement - Supporting the Finance Manager as needed with all aspects of the month end close process to ensure accurate financial results - Supporting the annual budgeting process by analyzing existing data and providing forecasts - Supporting operations on complex project set up and work breakdown structure - Promptly raising the key business risks affecting the business and develop and implement actions to mitigate the business risks and to optimize business performance - Assisting in liaising and addressing queries from corporate, internal and external auditors - Assisting in ensuring GHD meets all internal and external compliance requirements - Conducting regular audit of project management system to ensure complex projects accurately reflect the work breakdown structure, commercial terms and billing requirements - Performing monthly analytical reviews of major projects or projects in trouble (Estimate at Completion, Percentage of Completion, Earned Value), Revenue, WIP, AR, Variances) and engaging with PMs, PDs and stakeholders for discussion to ensure optimal performance and accurate revenue recognition - Supporting with analysis of KPIs and Billing / Cash Collections forecasts Also earlier: "provide proactive support to the business including financial reporting and analysis, project financial support, internal and external compliance, pricing / commercial support, profit & loss review, and month-end close support." This is somewhat overlapping but we can include as part of responsibilities. We need to ensure we don't duplicate. We'll list unique items. Now requirements: Undergraduate degree in finance, accounting or business. Advanced degree a plus. Minimum of five years’ related experience. Commercially astute with sound business acumen. Skills: maybe "Commercially astute with sound business acumen" is skill; also maybe "financial reporting and analysis, project financial support, internal and external compliance, pricing / commercial support, profit & loss review, month-end close support" but those are responsibilities. We'll keep skill as commercially astute. Pay: salary range $90,000-$152,000 depending on experience and location. Schedule: Hybrid work model: three days a week in office. Also mention "GHD supports a hybrid work model." and "Join us in office, three days a week to contribute, connect and excel". So schedule: hybrid, three days a week in office. Now About the role: we can combine introductory paragraphs: "At GHD, we don’t just believe in the power of commitment, we live and breathe it every day! That’s why we pledge to support and empower all our people to make a positive impact when working hand in hand with our business to motivate change. We'll help you accelerate your career and empower you with the right technology and training as you bring ideas and projects to life. Together with your colleagues, clients, and partners, you'll make an impact that is felt by all." Also later: "Who are we looking for? GHD is excited to announce our search for the Finance Business Partner - Project Control." But we shouldn't repeat title as heading; we can include that sentence in About the role paragraph. We need to avoid duplication: there is later repeated "Take on some of the world’s toughest challenges - with everyone at GHD backing you every step of the way." etc. That's boilerplate/EEO? Actually it's motivational but appears multiple times. We should remove duplicated lines. We'll keep only one instance of each substantive sentence. Let's craft About the role paragraph: combine first paragraph and the "Who are we looking for?" sentence (excluding title as heading). Also maybe include "We'll help you accelerate your career..." etc. We must not include EEO boilerplate: "As a multicultural organization, we encourage individual achievement..." etc. That's EEO; remove. Also remove "About Us", "Our Pledge to You", "Who We Are" sections as they are boilerplate? They contain some info about company but maybe considered boilerplate? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "About Us" etc might be considered boilerplate but they contain substantive info about company (global professional services, employee-owned, 11000 individuals, etc). However they might be considered generic company description; but the instruction says to remove boilerplate; not sure if company description counts. Usually such sections are considered boilerplate but they might be considered part of job posting. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." It doesn't explicitly say to remove "About Us". However later they say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The "About Us" might be considered substantive but could be considered boilerplate. I'd lean to keep it if it's not EEO/legal. But it's repetitive of earlier pledge. It repeats "Take on some of the world’s toughest challenges - with GHD supporting you every step of the way." etc. That's duplicated. So we should remove duplicated lines. The "About Us" section repeats that line. So we can omit it. Thus About the role will include the initial motivational paragraph and the "Who are we looking for?" line. Now we need to output HTML fragment only. Structure:

      But note "Commercially astute with sound business acumen" appears also as skill; we could move to Skills section. However we have both Requirements and Skills; we could put that under Skills. Let's decide: Requirements: education and experience. Skills: commercially astute. That avoids duplication. Thus:

Provide proactive support to the business including financial reporting and analysis, project financial support, internal and external compliance, pricing / commercial support, profit & loss review, and month-end close support. (This is a summary; but many items already covered. Might be redundant; we could omit to avoid duplication.) We'll keep the 14 items. Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "Take on some of the world’s toughest challenges - with everyone at GHD backing you every step of the way." etc. We removed. Now check for any other substantive content: "We'll help you accelerate your career and empower you with
