Financial Planning and Analysis Manager
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the bullet points as they are, but we can format as list items.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, soliciting, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
Let's extract content.
Job Summary paragraph:

We can combine these into About the role section as prose (maybe two paragraphs). Use
for each.
Key Responsibilities: list with subheadings (People Leadership & Team Management, Financial Planning, Budgeting & Forecasting, Performance Analysis & Insight, Business Partnership & Decision Support, Management Reporting & Communication, Process, Systems & Continuous Improvement, Cross‑Functional Collaboration). Each has bullet points.
We need to output as
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Should we keep the subheadings inside list items? Probably each responsibility as a list item, and within each we can have the subheading bold or as text. Since we cannot use markdown, we can just include the subheading as part of the li text.
We need to preserve all substantive information; we should not lose any bullet points.
Let's extract each responsibility block:

Scope & Impact paragraph:
"Manages an FP&A team supporting one or more business areas
Impact is at the business‑unit or enterprise decision‑support level
Decisions influence resource allocation, profitability, and strategic direction
Ineffective analysis may lead to poor decision‑making or missed opportunities"
We could include Scope & Impact maybe under Responsibilities or as its own section? The instruction only lists certain headings; Scope & Impact not listed. Could be part of About the role or Responsibilities. Probably we can incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities as a paragraph. Since we have limited headings, we could add a short paragraph under About the role after the overview.
Qualifications section: Education & Experience:
"Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field required
MBA, CPA, or CFA preferred depending on role complexity
Prior experience in FP&A, corporate finance, or business finance required

Additional Job Details: Management – M2 Organizational Impact etc. This seems like generic competency model; could be considered part of Requirements or Qualifications? It's quite detailed but maybe we can include under Requirements as additional detail. However the instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could incorporate these details into Requirements (Education & Experience) or Qualifications. But we must preserve all substantive information; we cannot drop them. So we need to include them somewhere.
We could create a Requirements section that includes Education & Experience plus Additional Job Details (Management – M2 Organizational Impact etc). Or we could split into Requirements and Qualifications. Since we already have Qualifications for Knowledge, Skills & Abilities, we could put Education & Experience under Requirements, and Additional Job Details also under Requirements (maybe as subpoints). That would preserve all.
Thus sections:
- About the role (h3) containing paragraphs from Job Summary + Role Overview + Scope & Impact (maybe as a paragraph).
- Responsibilities (h3) containing ul of responsibilities (each responsibility as li with its subpoints maybe as nested ul? But instruction says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid nested lists. Could do outer li for each responsibility heading and inner ul for its bullet points. That would preserve structure.
- Requirements (h3) containing Education & Experience (as ul) and Additional Job Details (maybe as ul or paragraphs). Could combine into one ul with all items? But they are distinct categories; we could keep separate uls.
- Qualifications (h3) containing Knowledge, Skills & Abilities (as ul).
We must not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections.
Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate: EEO, soliciting, etc.
