Financial Analyst
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should only include sections when posting has real, specific content. The posting includes FLSA Status Exempt, Earliest Start Date Immediately, Salary Salary commensurate with experience (that's placeholder "commensurate with experience" - we should NOT include Pay section because it's not specific; it's "commensurate with experience" which is placeholder. So we should not create Pay section. Hours per Week 40 hours weekly - that's specific; we could include Schedule section? The instruction says use for Schedule if we have schedule content. Hours per Week is schedule info. So we can include a Schedule section with that detail. Hiring Department Office of Budget and Planning - could be part of About the role? Not a standard heading; maybe we could include it in a short paragraph under About Us? But we have About Us already. Could include a short paragraph about the department. However we must not repeat job title as heading. We can include a
with hiring department etc. Also Required Application Materials - we should drop application instructions per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should not include Required Application Materials. Also we should drop EO/AA Statement (EEO boilerplate). Also drop Additional Information? Additional Information includes retirement plan, background check - that's substantive, not boilerplate. So we keep that as a section maybe "Additional Information". However the instruction says: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We can combine some. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's list substantive content: - FLSA Status Exempt (maybe not needed as heading; could be in a short paragraph) - Earliest Start Date Immediately - Salary: Salary commensurate with experience (placeholder, we should not include Pay section) - Hours per Week: 40 hours weekly - Hiring Department: Office of Budget and Planning - About Us: paragraph about UT System. - Purpose of Position: Supports data analysis and various systems... - Essential Functions: list of duties (multiple sentences) - Knowledge, Skills & Abilities: list - Required Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree ... with minimum two years relevant experience. - Preferred Qualifications: Experience with PeopleSoft, Hyperion..., Experience in higher education with GASB knowledge. - Working Conditions: May work around standard office conditions; Repetitive use of keyboard; occasional evening or weekend hours; Hybrid work environment. - Additional Information: Retirement plan TRS, mandatory, background check details. We should not include EEO statement. We need to format using
for section headings. Which headings to use? The examples: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map:
- About Us could be "About the role" or "About Us". The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those. We could use "About the role" for the About Us paragraph. Or we could use "About Us". Safer to follow examples: Use "About the role". However the content is about the organization, not the role. But we can still use that heading.
- Responsibilities: could cover Essential Functions.
- Requirements: could cover Required Qualifications.
- Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications? But we already have Requirements. Could combine.
- Skills: Knowledge, Skills & Abilities.
- Benefits: we have retirement plan info (TRS) maybe benefits. Could include Benefits section.
- Pay: we skip because not specific.
- Schedule: Hours per Week.
We also have FLSA Status, Earliest Start Date, Hiring Department - could be placed in a short paragraph under About the role or as a separate
before sections. We must not repeat job title as heading (not needed). No markdown. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:
FLSA Status: Exempt. Earliest Start Date: Immediately. Hiring Department: Office of Budget and Planning. Hours per Week: 40 hours weekly.
Then sections:About the role
For more than 140 years, The University of Texas System has improved the lives of Texans — and people all over the world — through education, health care, and research. The System consists of nine academic institutions, four health institutions, and The University of Texas System Administration. The institutions of the UT System employ more than 160,000 faculty, health care professionals, researchers, support staff, and student workers. The UT System Administration is primarily based in Austin, Texas. It supports the missions of the System’s thirteen institutions by providing financial, legal, planning, purchasing, government relations, communications, development, and other central services. Serving a growing state, the UT System Administration strives to provide a welcoming, supportive work environment that embraces different perspectives - not only because it enables the organization to be stronger, creative, and thoughtful, but because it is the right thing to do. To that end, UT System Administration embraces state laws on military and former foster children employment preferences.
Responsibilities
- Research and provide financial information that supports decision-making pertaining to UT System Administration and UT Institutions regarding budget and long-term and short-term decisions.
- Assist with preparation of monthly financial reports, annual financial reports and the annual operating budget development.
- Support the development of policies and procedures for the department operations and act as subject matter expert with the various system applications used by the department.
- Support data loads and maintenance as needed for dashboard and routine automated processes.
- Support the data analysis needs for legislative reporting.
- Support the business services provided to the UT System Administration departments.
- Perform other duties as assigned.
Knowledge, Skills & Abilities
- Knowledge of governmental accounting, budgeting and a legislative appropriations process
- Strong skills in strategic thinking and ability to clearly communicate objectives and intended outcomes
- Knowledge of common office and analytical software
- Internally motivated to provide high-quality work products and meet deadlines
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, business administration, business analytics or other closely related field with a minimum of two years of relevant experience.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with PeopleSoft, Hyperion Financial Management, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Power BI and other query based or data visualization tools.
- Experience in working in higher education with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) knowledge.
Benefits
- Retirement plan: Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS), participation mandatory (requires minimum 20 hours per week and at least 135 days of service).
Schedule
40 hours weekly.
We also need to include Earliest Start Date Immediately maybe in the initial paragraph. Already included. We should not include FLSA Status Exempt as separate heading; we included in initial paragraph. Check for any boilerplate: we removed EEO, application instructions, etc. We kept all substantive info. Check if any content duplicated: we have "Hours per Week: 40 hours weekly." in initial paragraph and also Schedule section. Might be duplication. Better to not duplicate. The instruction says remove duplicated lines. So we should not repeat same info. We can either put Hours per Week only in Schedule section, not in initial paragraph. Or we can keep initial paragraph with FLSA Status, Earliest Start Date, Hiring Department, and maybe mention schedule elsewhere. Let's adjust: initial paragraph includes FLSA Status, Earliest Start Date, Hiring Department. Then Schedule section includes Hours per Week. Thus:FLSA Status: Exempt. Earliest Start Date: Immediately. Hiring Department: Office of Budget and Planning.
Schedule section:Schedule
40 hours weekly.
Now check we haven't missed any substantive info: The "Additional Information" also includes background check details. We omitted that. We need to include background check info. Could add to Benefits or a separate section like "Background Check". Since we have Benefits section for retirement plan, we could add background check under Benefits or a separate "Additional Information". The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine retirement plan and background check under a section "Additional Information". But we already have Benefits for retirement plan; maybe rename Benefits to "Additional Information" and include both retirement plan and background check. However the examples list Benefits as a heading; we can use Benefits for retirement plan and maybe add background check there as well. Let's add background check bullet under Benefits. Thus Benefits section:Benefits
- Retirement plan: Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS), participation mandatory (requires minimum 20 hours per week and at least 135 days of service).
- Background check: criminal history, prior employment verification, education verification, professional references check, and motor vehicle records check conducted by third‑party vendor for candidates under final consideration.
for each section heading: About the role, Responsibilities, Knowledge, Skills & Abilities, Requirements, Preferred Qualifications, Benefits, Schedule. We also have initial
for metadata. Make sure we close tags properly. Now output only HTML fragment. Let's craft final HTML:
FLSA Status: Exempt. Earliest Start Date: Immediately. Hiring Department: Office of Budget and Planning.
