Fiscal Manager

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove background check? That's maybe not boilerplate but could be considered legal? It's about background check requirement; might be considered relevant? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Background check is legal but maybe relevant to job? Might be considered boilerplate? Not sure. Safer to keep if it's substantive? It's about requirement for background check; could be considered part of qualifications? Might be kept under Requirements? However instruction says remove legal boilerplate. Background check is a legal requirement; but it's specific to position. Might be okay to keep as a note under Requirements? I'd lean to keep it as part of Requirements or maybe a separate note? But we have limited sections; we could include under Requirements a bullet about background check. We need to extract substantive info: - Opportunity description: The Fiscal Manager is a vital member... etc. That's about the role. - Reporting line: Reporting to the Associate Vice President of Advancement Financial Services and Chief Finance Officer. - Manages and analyzes financial data in accordance with GAAP, institutional, state, and federal guidelines. - Oversight of financial systems such as Sage, and Workday, ensuring data accuracy, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance. - Provides leadership by supervising a student employee and a fiscal analyst, guiding junior staff, and reviewing financial deliverables for quality and accuracy. - Serves as a key point of contact for internal and external stakeholders, offering professional and informed assistance. - Responsible for maintaining accurate financial records for a $22 million operating budget and overseeing the Finance team’s record retention processes to support transparency, accountability, and effective decision-making. - Additional Information: This is a full time (100% FTE), permanent position. Overtime eligibility is dependent upon final salary placement. - Monthly Salary $5,485.73 - $8,402.20 | Commensurate with experience and qualifications. In accordance with RCW 49.58.110, the above salary reflects the full salary range for this position. Individual placement within the range is based on the candidate’s current experience, education, skills, and abilities related to the position. - Benefits: WSU offers a comprehensive benefits package which includes paid sick and vacation leave; paid holidays; medical, dental, life and disability insurance package for employees and dependents; retirement; deferred compensation, optional supplemental retirement accounts; training and development; and employee tuition waiver. For additional information, please review the detailed Summary of Benefits offered by WSU for AP staff and Total Compensation. - Required Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in accounting, business administration or closely related field which has included at least nine (9) semester hours or equivalent quarter hours of college-level accounting courses AND five (5) years of progressively responsible professional accounting experience including two (2) years of accounting supervisory experience. Any combination of relevant education and experience may be substituted for the educational requirement on a year-for-year basis.

A background check will not be completed until an initial determination of qualification for employment has been made. - Disability accommodation info: remove as boilerplate? It's legal/EEO. Probably remove. - Notice of Non-Discrimination: remove. We need to decide sections: - About the role: could include the opportunity description and reporting line etc. - Responsibilities: could list duties: managing financial data, overseeing systems, supervising staff, stakeholder contact, maintaining records, record retention. - Requirements: maybe combine Required Qualifications and background check? But we have separate sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings. We need to decide what goes where. Typically: - About the role: overview. - Responsibilities: bullet list of duties. - Requirements: maybe required qualifications (education, experience, licensure). - Qualifications: maybe preferred qualifications? Or could be "Qualifications" for required and "Preferred Qualifications" as a subsection? But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings. Could treat Requirements as mandatory, Qualifications as preferred? Or Skills as technical skills. We have Skills: maybe Microsoft proficiency, database applications, etc. We have Benefits: benefits description. Pay: salary range. Schedule: full time, 100% FTE, permanent, overtime eligibility dependent on salary placement, position term 12 month. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" in Pay section? Actually Pay section should include salary range; we can include the range and note that placement based on experience etc. That's substantive. Schedule: full time, 100% FTE, permanent, position term 12 month. Overtime eligibility dependent upon final salary placement. We must not include sections with placeholder text like "not specified". We have actual info. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce something like:

We must ensure we didn't repeat job title. We didn't. We removed boilerplate. We kept all substantive info. Check for any duplicated lines: we have some overlapping content between Skills and Requirements regarding Microsoft proficiency; that's okay but maybe we could avoid duplication. However it's fine. Check if any section heading has no real content: all have content. Check if any content includes placeholder like "commensurate with experience" - we kept it in Pay but that's actual statement from posting; it's not placeholder; it's fine. Check if we inadvertently included any boilerplate like "WSU encourages all qualified candidates to apply..." - we removed. Check if we included "Position Sponsorship Eligibility Not eligible for work visa sponsorship." That's substantive; we didn't include it anywhere. Should we include? It's about visa sponsorship. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications? It's a specific condition. Might be worth adding under Requirements as a bullet: "Not eligible for work visa sponsorship." We should preserve all substantive information. So we need to add that. Add under Requirements bullet: "Not eligible for work visa sponsorship." Also we have "About Department
