Financial Analyst FP&A
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove EEO lines.
We need to decide sections: "About the role" could contain the introductory paragraph describing Devon and role. "Responsibilities" could contain the list of duties. "Requirements" maybe combine Education Requirements and Years Of Experience? Or we could have "Qualifications" for education and experience. "Skills" for skills list.
The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose which to include. We need to avoid thin sections. So we can combine related info.
We have:
- Intro paragraph: "At Devon, we will offer you a career full of energy and unmatched opportunities to solve today’s greatest challenges. Innovation, creative problem-solving and positive change happen when people step out of their comfort zone and think differently. Our values, workplace practices, wellness programs, benefits and compensation are aimed at helping employees manage their unique personal life and care for their families so they can focus on contributing to the fullest. The Financial Analyst supports corporate FP&A through data analysis, financial modeling, and reporting that informs planning, budgeting, and capital allocation decisions."
That's prose.
- Responsibilities: "Responsibilities include sourcing and validating data from internal and external systems, building and maintaining models, and translating results into clear recommendations for finance leadership and business unit partners." Then list under "Essential Duties And Responsibilities": bullet points.
We can combine these into a Responsibilities section with a
.
- Skills And Experience: list of skills.
- Education Requirements: Bachelor’s degree; degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or related field preferred. Combination of Industry experience and education may be substituted as equivalent for degree.
- Years Of Experience: 3+ years; Relevant experience associated with upstream Oil & Gas Operations, as noted in ‘Skills & Experience’ section
We could put Education and Experience under "Qualifications" or "Requirements". The instruction says we can use Requirements or Qualifications. Probably "Qualifications" for education and experience, "Skills" for skills list.
Thus sections:

We must not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to preserve all substantive information: ensure we include each bullet from Skills And Experience and each duty.
Let's extract duties list:
Essential Duties And Responsibilities:
- Gather, consolidate, and validate information from internal, private and public data sources.
- Maintain databases and data sources that feed analyses in Spotfire, Excel, ARIES, and corporate financial models.
- Create and maintain processes related to well economics, corporate financial parameters, etc.
- Help streamline processes and improve data mastery across the organization.
- Work directly with business units to incorporate the team’s analyses into financial models.
- Create and maintain various models and work with finance professionals to support meaningful analysis.
- Support the annual budget, quarterly forecast, and long-range plan, including variance analysis of actual results against plan.
- Prepare recurring and ad hoc reporting and presentation materials for finance leadership.
- Other duties as assigned.
Also earlier "Responsibilities include sourcing and validating data from internal and external systems, building and maintaining models, and translating results into clear recommendations for finance leadership and business unit partners." This is somewhat overlapping with first bullet; but we should preserve it. Could combine or keep as separate bullet? To avoid duplication, we could incorporate that sentence into the list or keep as separate bullet. The instruction: remove duplicated lines. So we should not duplicate similar content. The sentence is similar to first bullet but not identical. Might be considered duplicate. Safer to keep the list and maybe incorporate that sentence as part of first bullet? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we can't lose detail. The sentence adds "sourcing and validating data from internal and external systems, building and maintaining models, and translating results into clear recommendations for finance leadership and business unit partners." The first bullet is "Gather, consolidate, and validate information from internal, private and public data sources." That's similar but not same. The sentence adds building models and translating results. Those are covered elsewhere: building models appears in bullet 2? Actually bullet 2: Maintain databases and data sources that feed analyses in Spotfire, Excel, ARIES, and corporate financial models. Not exactly building models. Bullet 6: Create and maintain various models and work with finance professionals to support meaningful analysis. So building models is there. Translating results into clear recommendations is maybe not covered elsewhere. So we need to keep that detail.
Thus we could keep the introductory sentence as a separate bullet or incorporate into first bullet. To avoid duplication, we could merge: "Source and validate data from internal and external systems; build and maintain models; translate results into clear recommendations for finance leadership and business unit partners." But that changes wording. Better to keep as separate bullet but ensure not duplicate with other bullets. It's not duplicate exactly. So we can keep it.
Thus Responsibilities list will have:
- Source and validate data from internal and external systems; build and maintain models; translate results into clear recommendations for finance leadership and business unit partners.
- Gather, consolidate, and validate information from internal, private and public data sources.
- Maintain databases and data sources that feed analyses in Spotfire, Excel, ARIES, and corporate financial models.
- Create and maintain processes related to well economics, corporate financial parameters, etc.
- Help streamline processes and improve data mastery across the organization.
- Work directly with business units to incorporate the team’s analyses into financial models.
- Create and maintain various models and work with finance professionals to support meaningful analysis.
- Support the annual budget, quarterly forecast, and long-range plan, including variance analysis of actual results against plan.
- Prepare recurring and ad hoc reporting and presentation materials for finance leadership.
- Other duties as assigned.
Now Skills list:

We need to preserve all.

- Combination of Industry experience and education may be substituted as equivalent for degree.
Years Of Experience:
- 3+ years; Relevant experience associated with upstream Oil & Gas Operations, as noted in ‘Skills & Experience’ section
We can combine Education and Experience under Qualifications.
Now About the role paragraph: we need to include the intro paragraph exactly as given? It includes some fluff but it's substantive. We'll keep it.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown fences.
Thus:
