Fiscal Specialist 2

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About the University", "About the Department", "About the Position". The instructions: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map content accordingly. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, application instructions, etc. Also remove navigation/cookie/legal. Keep substantive info. We need sections only when posting has real specific content. Likely we have: About the University (maybe not needed as heading? The instruction list includes "About the role" but not "About the University". However we can treat "About the University" as maybe not a standard heading; but we could combine into a brief paragraph? The instruction says use those headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use

for section headings (e.g. those). Likely we should stick to those headings where applicable. The posting includes "About the Position" which could map to "About the role". Also "Responsibilities" can be derived from bullet points under the position. "Requirements" and "Qualifications" can be combined. "Skills" maybe from required qualifications. "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule" we have salary and benefits info, schedule (half-time, nine-month cyclic project position). So we can create sections: About the role (combining About the University, About the Department, About the Position?), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications), Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications), Skills (maybe from required qualifications like MS Office, training, customer service), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not emit empty sections. Ensure we have substantive content. Let's extract: About the University: description of WWU, location, recognition, mission, etc. About the Department: Academic Budget and Administration supports mission, encourages applications from underrepresented groups. About the Position: details: Fiscal Specialist 2 independently provides fiscal support to DRAC and its seven constituent programs managing $3.7M S&A Fee funding. Coordinates budget development, financial monitoring, reconciliation, allocation management, reporting; analyzes proposals and expenditures; advises administrators; works under general supervision; applies university and S&A Fee requirements; resolves discrepancies; prepares financial info; half-time, nine-month cyclic project position with initial one-year appointment may be extended contingent on funding; 100% in-person; reports to Director of Academic Budget and Administration. Then there are detailed duty paragraphs: Budget Development, Analysis, and Financial Reporting (list of duties). Then DRAC Fund Allocation and Fiscal Management (list). Then Other Duties (list). We'll combine into Responsibilities. Required Qualifications: list: Two years of professional fiscal experience creating and/or reconciling budgets; high school diploma or GED; college credits in business and accounting can substitute; familiarity with MS Office Suite with intermediate experience in Word, Excel, Outlook; experience providing training on fiscal topics; customer service experience with focus on problem solving and communication; demonstrated ability to work effectively both independently and with others; ability to establish and maintain collegial collaborative work environment with variety of staff, faculty, students. Preferred Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree; three years progressively responsible experience in budget, analysis and financial tasks; experience working in higher education; demonstrated ability to understand and interpret complex policies and procedures.

Benefits: "Benefits Information Benefits Overview for Classified Positions Bargaining Unit This position is part of bargaining unit A and is covered by the collective bargaining agreement with Washington Federation of State Employees." That's substantive. Pay: Salary $2,214.50 - $2,976/month (.50 FTE) depending on qualifications and experience. Schedule: half-time (.50 FTE), nine-month cyclic project position, initial one-year appointment may be extended contingent on funding, 100% in-person. Also "This is a part-time (.50 FTE) project-employment position ending no later than September 16, 2027." So schedule: half-time, nine-month cyclic, in-person, ends Sep 16 2027. We must not include application instructions, closing date, EEO, etc. Now produce HTML with

headings and appropriate

or

• . We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like dollar amounts, dates, etc. Let's craft sections:

  About the role

  maybe combine University, Department, Position overview. Could be multiple paragraphs. But we must not repeat job title as heading. That's fine. We'll produce:
