Financial Technology Manager
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the job posting.
Job title: Financial Technology Manager 4 month contract Kansas City, MO (but we should not repeat job title as heading). The description includes "Job Description:" then paragraphs.
We need to extract sections: About the role (maybe the initial description), Responsibilities (Key Job Responsibilities), Requirements (Requirements), maybe Qualifications (but same as Requirements?), Skills (maybe mention of expertise), Benefits (ESPO has a comprehensive benefits package which includes PTO, Group Health and Dental Insurance, and 401k after you have satisfied the necessary waiting periods.), Pay (not mentioned), Schedule (not mentioned). Also maybe "Qualifications" could be separate but we can combine with Requirements.
We must not include boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So remove the EEO statement, "If you need assistance applying..." etc. Also remove "ESPO Corporation www.espocorp.com 630-789-2525 View all open jobs at www.espocorp.com/jobs Leaders in Technical Recruiting & Staffing since 1965". Also remove "Complies with all policies and standards" maybe minor but could be considered boilerplate? It's a line at end of responsibilities. Might keep as part of responsibilities? It says "Performs other duties as assigned Complies with all policies and standards". That's generic; maybe we can drop as boilerplate? It's not specific. Safer to drop.
We need to preserve all substantive information.
Let's extract content:
About the role: The first paragraph(s) before "Key Job Responsibilities:":
"The IT Financial Manager is a high impact finance-based role immersed in the Information Technology Department. This position is responsible for overseeing the financial strategy and execution of all technology-related spend across a multi-billion-dollar enterprise. This role provides direction, support and oversight for a cross-functional team that manages financial planning, forecasting, cost transparency, and technology chargebacks for a portfolio of several hundred million dollars annually. As a key member of the Information Technology leadership team, the IT Financial Manager partners closely with business and technology stakeholders to influence investment decisions, promote financial accountability, and ensure alignment with strategic priorities.

They are comfortable navigating both the details of financial modeling and the broader context of enterprise-level decision making.

As a department within Corporate Services, IT strives to provide value to employee-owners throughout the enterprise as driven by its mission: "To empower every employee-owner to do their best work, every day.”"

We can format as list.
Benefits: "ESPO has a comprehensive benefits package which includes PTO, Group Health and Dental Insurance, and 401k after you have satisfied the necessary waiting periods."
That's specific.
Pay: Not mentioned.
Schedule: Not mentioned (though it's a 4 month contract, but that's in title; we shouldn't repeat job title as heading; but schedule info maybe implied: 4 month contract. However we should not invent schedule section unless posting actually states them. The posting says "Financial Technology Manager 4 month contract Kansas City, MO" in the header line. That's not part of the job description body? It's before "Job Description:" maybe considered metadata. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. The "4 month contract" could be considered schedule? It's a duration. Might be considered schedule info. But we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does state "4 month contract". That's schedule info. However we should avoid repeating job title as heading. We could include a short paragraph mentioning contract duration. But the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could we include schedule info within a paragraph under About the role? Might be better to add a short
after About the role: "This is a 4‑month contract position based in Kansas City, MO." That preserves info without a separate heading.
Similarly location: Kansas City, MO. Could be included in that paragraph.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits. Possibly also Skills? Could extract skills from requirements: expertise in Oracle, Power BI, etc. But we can keep within Requirements.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no
