FP&A Manager
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use headings like About the Team, About the Role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, etc. We must not repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it). So we can have headings like About the Team, About the Role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule (if present). We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- About The Team: description of Finance team responsibilities.
- About The Role: description of role responsibilities.
- Then bullet list of responsibilities (starting with "You Will Partner..." etc). Actually after "About The Role" there is a paragraph then a list of responsibilities (starting with "You Will Partner...").
- Then "You Have" list of qualifications/experience.
- Then "Our Benefits" list.
- Then "Equal Opportunity Employer" etc (boilerplate to remove).
- Then "Business Area: Dow Jones - Finance Job Category: Finance Union Status Non-Union role Base Pay Range: $110,000 - $130,000" plus some text about pay range.
- Then more company description etc (boilerplate to remove? It's about company, maybe not needed but could be considered substantive? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The company description may be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's generic about the company. Might be considered not needed? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The company description may be considered substantive? Usually they'd want to keep it? But they said remove boilerplate; company description might be considered boilerplate but could be kept? However typical job postings include a "About Dow Jones" section; but they didn't explicitly say to keep it. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The company description is not listed; but could be considered navigation? Not sure. Safer to keep it? However they also said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The company description could be a section like "About the Company". But they didn't list that as a typical heading. They gave examples: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They didn't include About the Company. So maybe we should not create a section for it; we could incorporate into About the Team? Not appropriate. Better to omit it as it's not requested.
Thus sections: About the Team, About the Role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Benefits, Pay.
We need to decide which heading for qualifications: they gave examples: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We have "You Have" list: experience, education, skills. Could be "Requirements" or "Qualifications". We'll use "Requirements". Could also split into Requirements and Skills but better to keep one.
We need to preserve all substantive information: So we need to include the bullet points under responsibilities and qualifications exactly as given (maybe reformat as - ). Also benefits list.
Pay: Base Pay Range: $110,000 - $130,000 plus description about pay range varying etc. Should we include that description? It's substantive. We'll include a
with that text.
Schedule: mention "You will be work in our Midtown Manhattan or Princeton, New Jersey office 3 days a week". That's schedule info (hybrid). So we should include a Schedule section.
Thus sections: About the Team, About the Role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not repeat the job title as heading. Good.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract content precisely.
About The Team:
"The Finance team is responsible for global financial support in four key areas: Global Financial Operations (GFO), Financial Management Accounting (FMA), Tax and Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A). The team covers everything from back-office functions like payroll and customer billing to tax compliance and budget forecasting."
We'll put that in
.
About The Role:
"The Consumer Finance team is seeking a Manager, FP&A to support the growth and performance of Dow Jones' subscription businesses, including The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, MarketWatch, and Investor's Business Daily (IBD). This role will partner closely with leaders across Marketing, Product, Data Science, and Circulation to plan, forecast, and optimize subscriber revenue. You will help drive financial insights across the full subscriber lifecycle—from acquisition and promotional strategy to retention, pricing, and lifetime value—ensuring the business achieves its growth and profitability objectives. You will develop forward-looking models, evaluate investment decisions, and provide actionable insights that inform strategic priorities. You will be work in our Midtown Manhattan or Princeton, New Jersey office 3 days a week and report to the VP Finance."
Note there is a typo "You will be work". We'll keep as is.
Then responsibilities list starts after that paragraph? Actually the responsibilities are embedded in the same paragraph? The text after "You will be work..." then a period then "You Will Partner..." Actually the text: "You will be work in our Midtown Manhattan or Princeton, New Jersey office 3 days a week and report to the VP Finance. You Will Partner with Consumer, Marketing, and Product teams to develop and manage budgets and forecasts for digital and print subscription revenue across Dow Jones brands.Build and maintain subscriber-based financial models, including drivers such as acquisition volume, promotional offers, pricing step-ups, churn/retention, and lifetime value (LTV).Collaborate with Growth and Paid Media teams to evaluate customer acquisition efficiency (CAC, Cost Per Order, payback, ROI) and optimize marketing investment.Analyze the financial impact of pricing changes, promotional strategies, bundling, and new product initiatives.Develop scenario and sensitivity analyses to assess risks and opportunities related to subscriber growth, retention, and ARPU.Produce monthly performance reporting, including variance analysis and trend insights across key subscription KPIs (net adds, churn, conversion, mix, yield).Support month-end close processes with a focus on subscription revenue and related accruals.Build business cases to support strategic initiatives such as product launches, offer testing, international expansion, or channel optimization. Partner with Data Science and Analytics teams to ensure alignment between financial forecasts and subscriber behavior trends.Support ad-hoc analyses and strategic projects as needed"
So we need to separate responsibilities into bullet points. The list items are separated by periods but no bullet. We'll split at each capitalized verb start? Let's identify each bullet:
- Partner with Consumer, Marketing, and Product teams to develop and manage budgets and forecasts for digital and print subscription revenue across Dow Jones brands.
- Build and maintain subscriber-based financial models, including drivers such as acquisition volume, promotional offers, pricing step-ups, churn/retention, and lifetime value (LTV).
- Collaborate with Growth and Paid Media teams to evaluate customer acquisition efficiency (CAC, Cost Per Order, payback, ROI) and optimize marketing investment.
- Analyze the financial impact of pricing changes, promotional strategies, bundling, and new product initiatives.
- Develop scenario and sensitivity analyses to assess risks and opportunities related to subscriber growth, retention, and ARPU.
- Produce monthly performance reporting, including variance analysis and trend insights across key subscription KPIs (net adds, churn, conversion, mix, yield).
- Support month-end close processes with a focus on subscription revenue and related accruals.
- Build business cases to support strategic initiatives such as product launches, offer testing, international expansion, or channel optimization.
- Partner with Data Science and Analytics teams to ensure alignment between financial forecasts and subscriber behavior trends.
- Support ad-hoc analyses and strategic projects as needed.
We'll output as
- each.
Now qualifications: "You Have 6–7 years of experience in Commercial Finance, FP&A, or related roles, preferably supporting subscription, direct-to-consumer, media, SaaS, or recurring revenue businesses.Strong understanding of subscription economics, including acquisition funnels, churn/retention, ARPU, and lifetime value.Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field, or related experience (preferred).Advanced Excel skills (complex modeling, scenario analysis) and proficiency with Google Sheets/Slides.Experience with financial planning systems such as SAP and TM1 (preferred).Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to translate data into actionable business insights.Experience building financial models to evaluate marketing investment, pricing, and product strategies.Excellent communication skills and ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders.Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.Demonstrated initiative, strong work ethic, and collaborative mindset."
We need to split into bullet points. Each sentence seems a bullet.

Now Benefits: list:
"Our Benefits Comprehensive Healthcare PlansPaid Time OffRetirement PlansComprehensive Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance PlansEducation BenefitsPaid Maternity and Paternity LeaveFamily Care BenefitsCommuter Transit ProgramSubscription DiscountsEmployee Referral Program Learn More About All Our US Benefits."
We need to split into items. The text seems concatenated without spaces. Let's parse:
"Comprehensive Healthcare Plans"
"Paid Time Off"
"Retirement Plans"
"Comprehensive Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance Plans"
"Education Benefits"
"Paid Maternity and Paternity Leave"
"Family Care Benefits"
"Commuter Transit Program"

"Employee Referral Program"
"Learn More About All Our US Benefits." (maybe a link, but we can include as bullet? It's more like a call to action; maybe we can include as bullet but it's not a benefit per se. Could be omitted as boilerplate? It's part of benefits section but it's a link. Might be considered boilerplate? I'd include it as bullet but it's not a benefit. However instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should include it as a bullet.
Thus benefits list items.
